Here is a picture of the excitment last night..I think it was his dad on the phone.:)

1. How did you meet? Mike and I were in the same singles ward in Provo..my home teachers never came..so I complained to the Elder's quorum president which happened to be Mike Riches. So he came to home teach me which lead to him becoming one of my best friends and then boyfriend and then husband.:)

2. Our first date? We hung out a lot as friends but our first official date I asked him to a group date with all my roommates. It was a PJ date and we built a tent with blankets and watched the Newsies and had banana splits.
