Steamboat Colorado

Today, we flew to Vernal and went to church with Dan Rowe and A.J. Rowe.  Dan sat next to me in sacrament meeting and Sunday school.  After church, we flew to Steamboat Colorado.

We went to a mexican restaurant and Dan put on the sambrero.

On the flight home, Dan held my hand in the back of the plane.  Looking back that was a pretty spectacular time to hold my hand.

Valentines Day

For Valentines Day, Dan & I went together to visit my cousin Keith who was in the hospital in Murray.

We went to the store and bought Keith some candy and a magazine to look at.  Then we went to see him at the new hospital in Salt Lake.

We talked and laughed with Keith and played with his wheelchair.  Mari Lisa and Mark came and we talked to them for a long time afterwards.  I gave Keith a hug goodbye and Mark insisted I give him one too!

I'm glad Dan got to meet some of my incredible family.  I sure love them!

First Date: X-Country Skiing

For our first date, we were supposed to go ice climbing, but the weather got warmer, so we went x-country skiing again.

We went with some of Dan's friends: A.J., Bill, Savannah, and Julianne behind Mt. Timpanogas.  There was a lot of snow.

We skiied up the valley and had a snowball fight, built snow scultptors, and ate sack lunches.  Dan never fell until the end and it was fun laughing at him.  He was really fast and good on skiis.  It was really easy to talk to him.  We seemed to find interest in the same things, but I honestly didn't know if he would ask me out again.

First Meeting

Two years ago, while the VP of BYU's Outdoor Club, I planned an activity to go cross-country skiing at Alpine Lodge at Sundance.  I didn't get to go, even though it was my idea. 

So when I found out the club planned on doing it again, I knew I was definately going.

I'm glad I did.

Because before I knew it, I spent the entire night talking and skiing with this guy who seemed more adventurous than me.  Usually, the guys I meet on these trips are less outdoorsy than me, but Dan took me by surprise.  I was happy when he seemed to follow me around.

By the end of the night, Dan called out to me and invited me to go ice climbing that weekend and got my number!  I was estatic! :)
