Our love story!

Over the Years we have shared many love stories from many great couples. I thought I had shared our love story but I couldn't find it anywhere so I thought I would share it now.
Well I normally begin with Desiree and I met in a ball pit but I am going to go back just a bit further. And as you read this, keep pin mind that this is all my ( seth's) side of the story.
So just over 14 years ago I was going to school at UNM and living with my folks. I was sitting on the floor of my bedroom drawing and being perfectly content with life. My mom walked in and said, ' don't you think it's about time to start looking more seriously for a wife?' I don't remember my reaction but I probably just shrugged and went on with what I was doing. I hate being interrupted when I'm in the zone. For you artists you know when you are in that zone and you know how it's hard to be pulled out of it.
Anyway, I dismissed it because I knew my mom aaas really wanting me to marry a girl I had dated a fees times. She had a degree in microbiology and could support me while I finished school, etc. This did get em to thinking though. I had been dating several girls just to find out what I did want in life and in an eternal companion.
Not long after that episode I was out with a friend who had just returned from a two year mission and wanted to get back into the social scene. He and I and another friend went out to a place called block party, it was like chucky cheeses for grown ups. Anyway, we were it the ball pit at the bottom of this gigantic hamster tunnelly thing. Desiree and a group of her friends were also there in the ball pit. She stepped on me and didn't excuse herself or whatever. Anyway I probably made some sort of sarcastic comment and we instantly had a sour taste for each other.
This continued on as we bumped into each other here and there. Evidently there was some sort of issue at a drinking fountain where Desiree claims I was rude... I have no recollection of that ever taking place!!!
We pretty much dismissed each other as being overly conceded and went on about our lives.

This took a turn when I woke up one morning having had an incredibly vivid dream, or vision if you will, you know whatever. In this dream Desiree and I were sitting on a couch together, just sitting there. I don't remember what was going on around us, if we were watching tv or what. I just remember it was the most comfortable feeling I had ever experienced. It was that sort of pure joy that we always search for in life but never seem to find.
I woke up with a couple of thoughts; first was 'huh?' Second was well someone is trying to tell me something and this is the only way I will listen.
So, I thought I had to overcome whatever feeling s we had for each other and see what this whole dream was about.
I won't go into all the details of the couple of weeks that followed but we did have a first date and seeing her standing in the snow on the cliff face above me ready to rappel down... Well that was pretty cool. Standing next to her car asking her if I could kiss her, and then kissing those beautiful lips, felt like coming home.
When you truly feel love and joy, there is nothing else in life. And at that point my dream was becoming a reality. I was getting closer to that pure joy I felt in my dream.
What happened next. Well this is the ultra abridged edition of the whole beginning. We met in January, had our fist date in February, we were engaged in April and married in July. Yes, of the same year.
Since then we have been blessed with three incredible sons; Kimball, Ammon, and Kelsyn, and a beautiful daughter, Eden. They bring us so much joy and a fair amount of anger too. We have the great gift to be able to work with one another and love what we do. We have been able to spend more time together in the 14 years that we have been together, than many couples who have been married twice as long.
Our story may not be the most interesting or the most unique, but it is our story. It is our love. It is our being. The talk of soul mate is sometimes so over used. And so I won't use that, I don't feel that we are soul mates I feel we are the same soul. Two halts of one complete being.

So there it is, our love story in short form. I could go on about the details of our engagement and wedding and all the rest but I won't. Maybe another time.
