About Us

Derek and I met our freshman year at BYU. We were assigned to the same FHE Group our first Sunday in the BYU 118th Ward. Despite interesting first impressions (Me of Derek: He's an arrogant Jock, Derek of Me: She's Tall), we sat next to each other at the first home football game of the season and the rest is history, as they say.

We wrote every week for his entire 25 month mission in Slovenia and Croatia, he got home and "chased away the wolves," proposed, and we were married in the Provo, Utah Temple 5 months after he took his Elder Bruton name tag off.

We've had a lot of adventures together since then.

We love our lives, especially because we get to be together.  We can't wait see where our adventurings will take us...
