Love Birds - Tag from Johanna

1) Where did you and your husband meet? We grew up in the same town, opposite sides. We knew of eachothers families from the time of our childhood but didn't officially "meet" until a stake dance when we were 17.


2) First thing said? Kyle: Hey, you want to dance? Dana Lee: Sure


3) First date? We doubled with Darrin Case and Tamara Patterson. It was at Darrin's house and they made us macaroni and cheese. Afterwards we played games and really had a fun time.


4) First Kiss? In my driveway behind his old black truck. (We had to hide from my parents bedroom window.)


5) When "I Love You's" were first said: Kyle said it first. I said it a little while later.




6) Long or short courtship/engagement? hmm... SUPER long. Here is the short version of a long history. We always knew we were made for eachother, we just had to wait for the really right time to do this thang. 1st relationship: high school (I ended it), 2nd relationship: post Kyle's mission (Kyle fizzled out) 3rd relationship: pre DL mission (I left), 4th relationship: post DL mission (Kyle fizzled out), 5th relationship: started back up in November, engaged in April, married in June.




7) Where did you get engaged? On the banks of the Provo River. Kyle was fishing while I was painting my toenails. He "caught" a fish. He wanted to see if I was tough enough to gut it. I was and inside I found a ring! Don't worry it was carefully wrapped and had no fish guts on it. I was surpised to say the least.




8) Where did you get married? Manti Temple, June 7, 2002 It was a perfect day.





9) Where did you go on your honeymoon? Telluride, Colorado - Absolutely gorgous and completely empty at that time of year. Hiking, gondola rides, um, hanging out. It was delightful.


10)Where did you make your first home? Tiny, one bedroom, basement apartment of a house my parents owned and I managed in Provo, where Kyle finished up his last year of undergrad and I worked at Head Start.


Now I tag my old Iowa buddies, Katrina and Christina!
