Our Story

    Today I was thinking about how Cain and I met, how he proposed and why he decided to get baptized and the day we got sealed in the temple. So I thought maybe I would give you the short version of all of it. Mainly so one day I can print this off and my kids can read the story.

THE MEETING: Cain and I met through a mutual friend, Kim. One Sunday Kim and I made a ton of cookies and decided to take them around to some friends of ours; we stopped at Cains house and dropped some off. I did not like him at all, he was so mean to Kim, but later I found out he wasn't mean, he just really liked to tease. Long story short Cain asked for my number and we ended up kinda liking each other!! I found Cain to be soooo annoying but so fun all at the same time.

THE PROPOSAL: We had been looking at rings for I'm not kidding two months; I was honestly about to through in the towel and be done because it was taking a toll on my emotions. Finally, one day we decided to go to Twin Falls, Cain went to CSI and he showed me the rose garden, houses he used to live in. Anyway, we went to watch some people bungee jump off the bridge and right there was where he asked, with everybody watching and if you know Cain he does not like to make a scene or be the center of attention... he hates things like so I was really surprised he asked with people around. Anyway, it was the perfect ring, he had it custom designed. I love it. He did a good job and yes I had no idea, like I said I was ready to call it quits!! Haha!!

THE BAPTISM: Cain decided to get baptized a few months before we were supposed to get married. Cain growing up had a lot of friends, one in particular was a real good influence on Cain and had many brothers and sisters, so Cain being an only child I think really liked going to their house. Anyway, there were two missionaries; I call them the Tongan and the Samoan mainly because I can spell their names. They were amazing men. The first time they stopped by Cain's house, he told them he wasn't interested but to come hang out anytime… Funny man!! Anyway, I don't know what changed for Cain but we were driving one day and saw them walking and waved, next thing I know Cain turns around and tells them to come over. From that day I think he was hooked. I remember the day they asked him to set a date, Cain felt pressured and when that happens you can kiss your idea goodbye, but all four of bore our testimony, four of us being the Tongan, Samoan, a guy named Ben and I. I have never felt the spirit so strong before in my life!! He picked his day right then and there. I will always be in debt to those two missionaries, Cain has said he sent away a lot of missionaries but there was something about these two that he liked!!

Just a side note about our sealing, Cain is loved by so many people, I have never seen so many people proud of someone!! We had many loved ones at our sealing and I'm so thankful for all the good examples Cain had in his life! Anyway, in the sealing room, our kids came in and Koye ran over and smacked Cain right in the butt!! It was hilarious!!!

Anyway, that's our story in a not so nutshell but not the long story either!!
