One Year

No we haven't been married for a year... but it has been a year since we met. To some of you that might seem crazy that we are married and had not even known each other for a year. But when its love, there's nothing you can do about it:)

Hunter got home from his mission from Detroit on June 23, 2010. On that day my sister texted me and said she wanted to set me up with somone. She has set me up before and it didn't go so well ;) So I said I don't know.. and she said it was her friend Nicole & Jay's brother and she said he just returned home from a mission (yay!) and sent me this picture...

How could I say no to that!?!? So I said "Yes Please!!" After a few weeks of not hearing anything about going on a date or anything I was bummed out. Let's face it.. he is such a good lookin man! Then one day I was working a 12 hour shift at work and finally was able to go one break. I grabbed my phone and saw that I had a text message from a new number.. It said Hi Kelli, this is Hunter Chamberlain... and thats all I had to see and I was so excited!! He just said a little bit about himself and what he likes to do and I remember feeling bad because that text was from five hours ago... so I texted back hoping he would text real soon! He tells me now that he didn't think that I would text him back at all because it had been so long. We texted for awhile that day and were trying to set up a date but my work schedule was so crazy working 6 days a week. (after we were engaged and talked about how we met he said he didn't believe that I actually worked those hours and thought I was just putting off going out with him... not true :) ) Then a week or two later we set up a date for Friday August 13, 2010. We met at my sister Kari's house and I was hoping he wasn't there yet.. but he was. One look at him and I fell in love instantly. We ate pizza then played a mario game on the nintendo. which Hunter and I lost everytime. Then we randomly decided to go see knight and day. We rode over to the theatre in his car and before we got in and he went to the drivers side and I was thinking he wasn't going to open the door for me, but then he said Dont touch that door!! And I stopped not sure what he was meaning and Hunter walked around to the passenger side of the car and opened it for me. Hunter thought I didn't like him at all, and neither did the other couple that was there. But walking into the movie theatre I wasn't sure if Hunter would pay for me or not, so I was talking to Kari telling her I didn't have money and she said she would pay for me if he didn't. But sure enough he did pay for the both of us. The whole movie Kari kept nudging me and telling me to hold his hand or lay on his shoulder. And believe me I wanted to.. and Hunter says he did to. But we didn't. We left the movie and dropped me off at Kari's house.. we did one of those side hugs with a person you just met and he said he had a lot of fun and we should do it again real soon, and I agreed. But I was wondering if it would really happen or not. After this day we never missed a day of texting.. aside for the two weeks he left me to go hunting. It's funny talking about how we both knew that we were going to get married because I went to work and talked to my friend Whitney and she said what if you guys got married.. and I said its not if... its when. And Hunter talked to his friend Jeremy the night after and said that he was going to marry me. So this is a story of Love at first sight.. if you don't believe in love at first sight, you should. Cause thats how we fell in love :)

Sorry for the long post.. but this blog is acting as our journal :) And I dont want to forget any details.
