Josh

I met Josh at Alorica.  He was the trainer for US Robotics.  I thought he was cute but, alas, married.  I forgot about him "that way" and went on with my life.

After a few years we both went to Fort Lauderdale for a business trip and I realized how much I liked him then but he was still married!  But then a miracle happened!  Sad for him, happy for me.  He and his wife were separating.  I flirted, he flirted back, I asked him out (never wait for a man to ask, you'll just be sad) and well, the rest was history.  I know that wasn't all the way "kosher" but I had such a connection with him.  We had a connection with each other.

Fast forward three years and we married on September 12, 2008.  If you asked Josh, he'd be able to tell you the day of our first date.  I'm terrible and it's a small miracle I can remember our anniversary or birthdays.

We married at the Salt Lake Court House with my sister, Amber, and my grandmother as witnesses.  We then went to Mad Greek and had omelets for breakfast.  :)  I had a Greek omelet and he had Ham, I believe.  Or did we both have Greek?  Dang it...

That afternoon we had a BBQ at Sugarhouse Park which was fantastic.  Low stress and relaxing.

That night my sister dropped us off at the train station where the train was running 6 or so hours late due to track construction and so we froze our booties off waiting to take the Amtrax train to San Francisco.   Worth it.  It was better than hanging out inside the building with the dozens of unshowered and undeordoranted people waiting for the train.  Plus Josh was there.

Our honeymoon (details will come in another post, likely out of order...) started in San Franscisco.  We rented a car and drove down the coast to Monterey and then to Los Angeles (visited Mark & Gemma Boone!).   We headed back through Las Vegas (visited Mark Lani!) and then home.   It was beautiful.  I'm pretty sure I already blogged about it somewhere.

Another 7 years and it went by way too fast.  The best 10 years of my life.  There have been some downs, but mostly it's been up, up, up and I credit Josh for that.  He gave me strength and I'll continue drawing on that.  Thank you baby.  I love you all the way around the world.
