A year of dating!

Dave and I dated for just shy of a year before we were engaged. We met in our singles ward at the University of Utah Institute. We started out as just friends, and then we just started doing more and more things together. Then in August of 2009 we decided to go on a hike to Doughnut Falls, up Big Cottonwood Canyon, and as we went it felt a lot like a date. He bought us doughnuts and drinks and even made me dinner afterwards. The next week I had two dates lined up---on the first I brought my date to play ultimate frisbee, and Dave was there. So Dave gave me a lot of space the whole night. I had driven to frisbee separately from my date because I told him I wanted to play a long time and didn't want him to feel like he had to stay the whole time. So, after frisbee everyone was leaving, then it was just Dave and I. So we started chatting for a really long time and he asked me if I wanted to go to Village Inn. I kinda said no, but then he convinced me. So we went. Then I asked him to go with me to the Bees game that Tuesday---for my work party. After the Bees game, which he had insisted on driving to, we went to my house to grab a movie, then took it all the way to his house (we lived quite a ways apart at this point). Then after the movie he drove me back to my house. We basically ended up talking all night on my porch, and decided we were dating, after we kissed :)  And that's where it all began :)  Um, by the way, there was some remodeling being done at that time in the bathroom, so we were sitting on my porch next to a toilet.... so romantic... :)   Oh, and the date I had lined up for the next day I called to cancel :)  We started dating on August 5, 2009.
