My Love Story


I have a special treat for you today. Davis and my love story! {Cue: awwww.}

linda + davis

This picture was taken last summer. Yep, he’s tall, dark, and very handsome, and he still makes my knees weak 7.5 years later!

Our love story is a little serendipitous. {Is that word?} We both attended Brigham Young University- Idaho, but we didn’t have any classes together, let alone even in the same buildings. And our apartments were not very close to each other either. So it was definitely meant to be! If we both had not applied and been chosen to be on the planning committee for a service club at BYU-I, we probably would not have met.

Now, are you ready for the cheesy name of the club we met in? Serving with Smiles. Yep, true story. And yes, our “mascot” was a big smiley face. Too funny. Anyways, Davis and I talked a few times during our semester term on the planning committee, but did not go on a date until the Serving with Smiles banquet dinner. And that may not have happened if I had found a date like I was supposed to. But I slacked off because of finals and never asked anyone. So Davis and I were magically talking after the last planning meeting a few days before the dinner AAAAND I asked Davis to go to the dinner with me. Yes, I asked him out first. {He will claim something different, but don’t believe him.}

I ended up getting deathly sick before our first date, as in bronchitis, but I really wanted to go to the banquet. So I went anyway. And I was miserably sick the whole time. I coughed like crazy and could barely talk. And Davis was so sweet to me. He would get me cups of water and tissues without me even asking him to, and then the next day, he brought me white daisies and chicken noodle soup. I was smitten! We continued dating and then one summer day, Davis rode up on a horse and threw rocks at my window and then while watching the sun set, asked me to marry him. {He did good, huh?} We got married almost exactly 1 year after meeting in Serving with Smiles.

So that’s our love story. I just love love stories!
