This is it!
So many of you may have been wondering, Why doesn't Sam write? What could be more exciting than keeping us updated on his life?
Well, Here it is, the reason that I have been so busy.
I'm getting married!
On Jan 24, 2006
We met at a dance. Our eyes met across the dance floor... yeah, ok, maybe not that dramatic.
Actually she was sitting out in the foyer and some guy had pulled a chair over and was sitting in front of her. She looked cornered and couldn't move because his chair was so close to hers. What a weirdo.
I gallantly rescued her from the situation by asking her to dance. She agreed, and a week later we were engaged!
Now, lest you think we're jumping into this a bit quick - I should tell you that we both spent many hours fasting and praying over this decision.
So we've been in a whirlwind of getting ready. Her parents were a little worried about how quick the whole thing has been, but everything is coming together so well, that we're all certain it was meant to be.
After all, her older sister got engaged after the first date (We got engaged after 6 dates). One month later they were married. It worked out for them. They now have 2 little boys and are very happy.
Her parents have such a strong marriage. They are ward stalwarts. He's the Ward Physical Facilities guy, and boy does that building shine. Her Mom is the Ward Chorister and wow does that ward sing together. Everyone says that they are invaluable to the ward!
I am a bit worried about her older brother though. He got married about 8 years ago, right off his mission. He and his wife then had 5 kids in 7 years. After that, they had a quiet divorce. His wife got the kids, and no one is sure just why they got divorced. About a year later, he got married again to an 18 year old girl he met in the singles ward.
I think the whole thing is kind of strange. I just hope that this marriage works out for him.
Anyway, We've been working on decorations for the gym, and looking at wedding cakes for the last week. My fiancee and her mom have been busy working on her dress. She's so excited about it!
