For those of you who don't know one of us, or the other, I hope this
will help you to get to know your family member/friend's future spouse.
How we met -
Believe it or not, David and I met while country line dancing. It is
really a lot of fun, and doesn't take as much skill or rhythmic talent
as many other forms of dancing. Both of us were currently on summer
vacation from our respective colleges, and the location of this dance
hall was about halfway between us. David was living in La Crescenta
(though going to school all the way in Irvine) and I was living in
Covina (going to school in Pomona). Country line dancing was a casual
and fun weekend activity, and we began noticing each other.
Opposites attract, but Birds of a feather flock together -
As in most relationships, David and I are polar
opposites in many ways, and yet very similar in others. Those
differences help us to balance each other out. David is a quiet, laid
back kind of guy. He is more of a listener than a talker. I, however,
don't really know how to stop talking. I am quite loud and outgoing
(obnoxious). But, when we're at home, David does a lot of talking, and
I am pretty good at listening. Both of us were runners in high
school, so we can be quite athletic, although we can both be pretty
lazy at times. We are both
pretty casual about housekeeping and cooking, and so we get along in
the home quite well.
Our Engagement -
David had a work trip to France, and I
went out to join him over the weekend. We visited the Eiffel Tower, the
Louvre, and finally the Arc de Triomphe. We climbed the stairs to the
top of the Arc, and looked out over the Champs Elysees. David
proposed in the cold winter night, with the beautiful Christmas lights
glowing from the Champs Elysees. It was beautiful. The trip was over
far too soon, but we hope to return to France again, with more time to
visit the beautiful sites.
Day to Day -
We enjoy casual relaxing evenings at
home. Both of us spend much time on the computer, playing games and
surfing the web. I love to read, do crafts, and watch T.V. David is
more of a channel surfer, and gets tired of me watching the same show
for 5 episodes in a row. :) David is very project oriented. He enjoys
taking photos and videos of our trips and activities, and doing video
editing. He also enjoys outdoor activities, such as snowboarding,
wakeboarding, and scuba diving.
