In the Beginning


I'm starting this Blog to keep a journal for our family so I figured I should start at the beginning: When Scott Met Kimberly

Scott was starting into his last year at BYU and had spent a busy summer preparing for application to Dental School. I had decided to apply to Law School because I couldn't think of anything better to do with my time. When I returned from my mission I went to BYU for a semester and had even applied to and been admitted in the Statistics Graduate Program but found my experience a little disillusioning as far as the relationship front went. So my application to BYU Law School was made with a little trepidation, and with the hope that I'd actually get in somewhere else. However, Scott's wishes thwarted my plans and I like to believe he PRAYED me into BYU.

My Ward and Scott's were combined during the Summer and since the Law School started a week before regular classes and I had a week of Orientation I showed up at the end of Summer but before the Wards split again for the school year. One of my wonderful roommates invited me to join her for the final combined Family Home Evening Activity before the Wards split. We pulled up and there on the grass, awaiting a promising game of Ultimate Frisbee was a tall, good looking blond, throwing a Frisbee with another guy whose features I fail to recall. After the song, prayer, and spiritual thought, everyone started filing off to the field to play except for the few choice spoil sports who lack confidence in their Frisbee abilities, like myself, and those who want to meet them, like Scott.

Scott got my phone number that night, the next night the wards had a closing social at a skating rink and we oh-so-subtly showed off for each other and even did the couple skate, the next night Scott called and asked me out for our first date. On Friday we went to "The Hasty Heart" at the Hale Center Theater and out for Ice Cream at the Creamery on Ninth and the rest was history. Of course, there were other exciting adventures on the way, but, this is just the beginning after all
