Ok this is my view of the first night we met and so on....

So Shanel has shared a loving story of passion, lies, and most importantly me.
It was a dark and dreary night, many hours were spent scouring the landscape of Rexburg in search of a beautiful woman. My trusty side-man was no one less than Justin Brusselsprouts...er eh i mean Busselberg. We had made it across Rexburg when we found ourselves in LaJolla apartments. I then remembered my long lost cousin (she really was long lost) Stephanie lived there. So me and justin made our way over to her apartment and justin soon realized that he knew my cousin very well. Small world in the mormon world.

Cousin said hi to me and introduced me to her roommates when Shanel graced me with her presence from the back. Someone (not sure who) informed me she was on a date and was leaving soon so her and Amber took off and I was left wimpering on their doorstep with stinky Justin. I quickly maned up and talked to my cousin for awhile when Shanel realized she had made a huge mistake and came running back to me (thats what I tell myself). We started playing card games but all the girls started complaining so we stopped that before they got all winey. Then we started playing SIGNS.

If you dont know how to play signs then stop reading and ask someone then come back. Welcome Back for those of you that had to leave. So we were playing signs and my cousins sign was to kick your leg, which was a ridiculous one, so I was trying to get her attention and began kicking my leg which very quickly escalated to a violent kick almost putting a whole in the ceiling. The miracle of it was I never got caught but I had everyone crying laughing in the room and the person in the middle confused out of their mind. Then later on something interesting happened. As i was making a fool of myself and making everyone laugh at me I glanced over at Shanel who was not just looking at me but GAZING into my soul and not willing to break that gaze no matter the cost. From that point on she couldnt stop staring and she does till this day. haha

So some time passed and we talked about dating, and marriage and here we are.........here we come April 7!
