20 years ago this Halloween...
I sang with our group (yes we had a group) in church. A very nice lady came up and asked the group if they would like to come to her ward next and sing in their ward since they didn't have a musical number. Of course we said yes.
I can still remember ( and so can Thayne without my help) what I was wearing. I had on a light pink sweater dress that went down to my mid calf, white nylons and white high heel shoes. My hair was in a very pooooffffy pony tail with big poofy bangs.
The ward we sang in happened to be Thayne's ward, I had no idea who he was.
This is the conversation on his bench...
Thayne to his sister: who is the girl in the pink dress?
Thayne's sister: that is one of the Poppleton girls
Thayne: I bet you I will date her.
That night Thayne called me asking me on a date to Disneyland in 2 weeks.
I said yes!
A few days later because he figured he didn't want to wait 2 weeks he called and asked me out for Friday night. So we went out Friday night and ....
It was the worst date ever for both of us.
I was trying to figure out how to get out of the Disneyland date for the next week. Since my sister was doubling with us on the Disneyland date I decided to go. Thayne and I had a blast and dated for 5 month until Thayne left on his mission.
We dated for 6 weeks after his mission.
(Magic Mountain date)We got engaged 6 weeks after he got home from his mission.
(we didn't even try to match, scary we matched that well)
We got married 5 months after that.
and 17 years later today, I couldn't be more in love with him.

That is too sweet! If you would have shown me just the picture of thayne, I wouldn't have known who it was. You don't look a bit different, just flatter hair. You guys are awesome, I'm glad we know you!
Who would of known you would of given Thayne grey hair in 17 years Ü. I can't remember him looking so young. Once thing I remember is the same weekend he came home he was a bridesgroom for his buddy and I ask him what he was going to do and he said he wasn't getting married for 4 years, he had a lot of living to do, yes but, he knew if he waited that long someone else would scope you up so as wise as he is and 17 years later he proved to be a very smart man. And a lucky one at that. Congradulations you too on this special month.
