Dinner with Linds and Ryan

We love our friends Lindsey and Ryan! We met up and went to Fox & Hound for some drinks and appetizers.

The Good Old Bothell Dance Days!

Random Story:
When I was in Seattle, I had a friend in my stake named Jordan Staples. He went to a different high school but it seemed like every time we saw each other was at Bothell Stake youth dances. The place to be I guess on a Friday night. We never danced. Only talked and make fun of the dorky kids. So, Jordan's family moved to Utah and we lost touch. Then randomly one day on Facebook, I found him! Turns out he had gone a mission to Canada, he's a current student at Utah State and he is married! Him and his wife Paige are out here in Charlotte for the summer selling security. So, we hung out tonight. It was so much fun catching up with him and really looking forward to married life. Hanging out with married couples is the best! We loved it. And 6 years later and he's the same Jordan! His wife Paige is a beauty and we had a good time chatting about the upcoming wedding!

9:30am

Two weeks from now, I will be in the temple, dressed in white, kneeling across the alter looking at the love of my life. So excited for time and all eternity!

Just a note though, where did the freakin time go? Because I swear yesterday it was February 16th when Ryan and I got engaged, I blinked, and now we are just 2 weeks away from the big day. only 166 days of waiting....haha. I have experienced so many wonderful and beautiful moments with Ryan. He is such an amazing person and I truly am my best self when I am with him. ok ok ok...enough.

tennis!

Tonight, Ryan and I took on my dad and brother, Jared. It was intense. Ryan played a lot in high school and before the mission, so he's got some skills (it's hott!) And as for me, I work really hard so I'm improving. Actually, I want to join a fall tennis league at one of the country clubs close to our house. SO. We played doubles and by the time we got done, 3 hours later, and 22 games later, Ryan and I lost to my Dad and Jared. But that's ok. It was so intense and it just makes me want to try harder next time! We now have plans to play every Thursday. After the wedding it will be quite cozy in the Steele home with, Mom and Dad, Jared, and Ryan and I. BUT we want to make tennis a focus. My dad even said, I'm glad we played tennis today instead of going to the driving range. Wait, What? Good times had by all.
