I was running late for single's branch. I called my friend Treg (tanner's cousin) and asked him to save me a seat. I walked into the chapel and sat my Treg. Tanner was on the other side of him. He leaned across and said, "Krystle you look really nice today." It really took me by surprise, because I really couldn't remember a time when a guy said that to me and meant it genuinely. After our meetings we sat at the same table during "linger longer", my brother eric was there and he was giving me a hard time that I was dating someone who was younger than me. etc. As I am driving home I get a call from Treg and he starts telling me that Tanner was asking him if I would consider going on a date with him. I told him that I wouldn't mind going at all :) A couple days later I get a phone call from tanner and he said, "When are you going to let me take you out?" I replied with , "I guess when you decide to ask me." We went out that Saturday, July 26, 2008, and I had never laughed harder than I had with him. I was so comfortable around him. We could talk about everything. He called me everyday from that first date and we would talk till 2 or 3 in the morning. He tries to say that I played hard to get, but trust me I didn't. I was under his spell from the very first moment he talked to me. Within a week of our first date, I told the other boy that I had been dating that I couldn't see him. I felt awful but it was really how I felt. I didn't want to see anyone else but Tanner. When the summer ended he went to ISU and I went to BYU-I. I was really nervous at first and didn't know how long it would last with us going to different schools, but I knew the first week that I didn't care to date anyone else. None of the guys I met even compared to him. I was hooked :)
He finally popped the question after 7 months of dating on February 14, 2009. It was one of the best nights of my life. He took me to his house and said he wanted to show me something. He took me into the living room where his computer was and started playing a movie he had made of all the pictures we had taken together, with I Don't Want to Miss a Thing playing in the background. After one of the pictures the screen said "I love you Krystle." I looked at him to tell him that I love you too, but he was still staring at the screen. I turned and on the screen was a picture of him down on one knee holding the ring and below the picture it said, "Will you marry me?" I went completely speechless. My mouth just dropped. He put down the computer and got on his knee and asked me again and finally i exclaimed, "YES." And it was the best decision I have ever made.
May 29, 2009 has so far been the happiest day of my life. Tanner and I drove up to the temple together and we just kept saying to each other, "I can't believe we are really getting married." It all seemed so sureal. We were so blessed to have so many of our family and friends there with us that day. The support was overwhelming. I am so lucky to have found my best friend and that I get to spend eternity with him. He makes me so incredibly happy. He does so much for me. He is always looking for things around the house that he can do. He has been there for me whenever I have needed him. I cannot imagine spending my life with anyone else. I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father led me to such a wonderful person. Every morning I wake up and think to myself that I am the luckiest girl in the world. This has been the best year of my life. We have had our hard times, but we have always stuck together. When I think about all of the other years we have a head of us I cannot help but be so grateful that I have found the love of my life.
