How it all began.....

Many of you know how Brenden and I met but for those of you that don't, here's the story. My roomate (and chilhood friend) Lenzie has been good friends with Brandon Howard, one of the BYU football players, for a little ove a year now. A few months ago Brandon moved in with Brenden and his cousin (obviously not by accident).
As they became friends, Brandon would come over to our apartment and tell me "hey I have this roommate, he is a really great guy and I think you should meet him." I thought about it, but didn't actually consider meeting this anyone until Lenz came home one night after hanging out at their place and said, "Lynds you have to meet him! You'll love him, he's awesome." Well, being that Lenz and I have know eachother our whole lives, I trusted her judgement and we made plans to go over there and hang out after a football game. So it was Saturday, September 13th when I walked down the stairs of their apartment, into the family room and changed our lives forever. As soon as I sat next to Brenden on the couch I knew. I knew that he was the man that I had been patiently waiting for to spend eternity with. As the night progressed, so did our relationship. By the end of those few hours, it seemed as though we had been together for months. Our friends just watched us on the couch in awe as we laughed and flirted. It truely was love at first sight.

So that was Saturday, and by the following Wednesday we were disgussing marriage. A week later we went and looked at rings, and two weeks later he proposed. As you know we are getting married in the Redlands California Temple in November 29th, and we are SO excited! We love you all, and thank you for your support! Here are some of our engagement pictures....enjoy!
