Aaron and I met in September of 2010 at a Root Beer Float party hosted by our apartment complex. We and our roommates chatted over our floats and a game of pool but it became increasingly obvious how much Aaron and I had in common. We both spoke Spanish (he'd served his mission in Mexico), we had very similar taste in music and movies, we both played guitar—the list went on. I'd just gotten out of a bad relationship and was not ready to move on but I was sure my roommates wouldn't let me get away with that.
Lucky for me, they didn't press anything. That all happened on its own. Over the next week we started spending more time together, specifically writing a song for his roommate's birthday that was coming up. Sure enough, I started to recognize that my feelings for him were growing and quite frankly, it terrified me.
He made it so easy though. What wasn't to love? He was funny, charming, handsome, kind, gentle, patient, and we had so much in common. Eventually we started dating and were engaged 6 months later in March and were married 4 months later on July 15th, 2011.
Since then we've been blissfully happy. Sure, we have our problems like everyone else, but we try to enjoy every minute we have together and live our lives to the fullest. We're continuing in school (Aaron at UVU studying Physical Science and me at BYU studying Public Relations) and at work. Aaron currently works as a CNA at a retirement home where my grandpa lives and I work as a Communications Assistant and Advertising Consultant for BYU's Student Service Association. We love spending time with our families and of course, each other. We love to travel, make music, cook, laugh and stargaze together and we hope through reading our blog that you will enjoy the stories of all our many anticipated adventures!
Happy blogging!
Aaron & McKinnley
