So this means we're really married...

Alright, so I finally gave in and decided to join the world of blogging... I mean, it was about time since Ammon and I have been married for almost one whole year! (I know, it's crazy to us too...)

I feel as if you can't really say that you're married until you have your own blogger account, so here we are! :) (Plus, some people wouldn't start their own blog until I did one... so now you have no excuse! You know who you are...)

Anyway, a little bit about us....

Ammon and I met in June of 2008 (we don't really remember the exact date anymore, because after the date neither of us wanted to remember it or the other person ever again...).

It was a sort of blind date, not because people set us up because they thought we'd be perfect together, but more like my roommate was going out on a blind date with his roommate and didn't want to go alone... so she literally begged me to go (and Ammon's roommate did the same to him). We went to Red Lobster, both of us hate seafood, and ate our non-fish meals in silence. Seriously. We didn't talk.

Then, we got ditched by our roommates, and after sitting awkwardly in silence some more at his apartment (luckily he had other roommates home watching some dance show so the awkwardness wasn't quite as obvious) we decided to find them so that I could go home... Luckily we sort of started talking at that point, and we each decided the other one was less lame than we originally thought, but still pretty lame.

Somehow we ended talking on Facebook and after some convincing Ammon and I continued to go on dates and somehow ended up being best friends. We even have Panda bear best friend key chains to prove it! :)

Then after about 7 ish months of dating/best friend-ing, Ammon decided that he was ready to move on with the relationship.. And get hitched... And I was most definitely not ready for that..

So he decided to move to China...

Yeah.

Apparently it seemed like the best option? But really, his parents were going over there, and his little sis was going over there, so he decided to go as well.

We decided that while he was gone we would try to figure out what we were going to do with ourselves. Honestly, about 3 minutes after I dropped him off at the airport I already knew that I was going to marry him... that I needed him in my life, and on my continent. :)

So after six months of him partying it up in China, and me being desperately lonely in Utah, he came back and we were engaged like 4 weeks later at the end of June. :)

It was fabulous!! He proposed IN the Oquirrh Mountain Temple... during the open house... he just broke into a room in the temple (apparently he got permission beforehand... but I was sorta panicked that he was actually breaking and entering in the temple) and popped the question. :)

We were then married in the Salt Lake Temple on October 9, 2009!! :) (We share our anniversary with my parents.. it's pretty sweet, and they were nice enough to 'share' their day with us.)

So that's basically how we became Mr. & Mrs. Cunningham.

Sorry for the epic post of lots of words and no pictures, next time I swear that it won't be nearly as long...

Hopefully I blog once in a while, although I'm not making any promises... This might be my only post.. ever. So enjoy it! haha! :)
