Our love story is one of Teddy's favorite things to talk about and one of my favorite things to sit and listen to :) I will try to do my best at this story to bring it the kind of sweet romance that Teddy always seems to add.
It all began in the Fall of 2012. I just returned to church from a stint of inactivity :[ One of my co-workers invited me to attend a singles ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. {The BEST decision I could have ever made}
It was a beautiful time in my life, I finally decided to remove all negative and degrading aspects out of my life, I started to feel the Spirit once again and I began making new friends. It was a complete switch from the life I had been living. I finally had found true peace and happiness.
Sometime in early October I attended a new member class, which is a one time class to fill out paper work and get to know certain members of the ward and find out when activities are held. Teddy was part of this committee and had the lucky opportunity to get to meet all of the young single ladies who were new to the ward ;)
Little did he know, I had already knew who he was through a friend of mine who had nothing but good things to say about him. I remember when I first saw him it amazed me at how happiness and light shone forth from him. Immediately you could tell what a great and wonderful person he was. And little did I know, he had his eye on me from that one time I had attended the new member class.
About a month after attending the class I got asked out on a date...but not by Teddy! It was your typical "get to know you" type date and right away I knew that things weren't going to go past friendship with this nice young man. A few days after that date I got a Facebook message from a Teddy Huntsman :)

As a little side note, and I think possibly Teddy's favorite part of the story, the day after the "non-advancing" date, the young man bragged about his multiple dates he had over the weekend in a church meeting...where Teddy happened to hear. Teddy asked him which girls he had taken out and when he found out that one of the girls was me, the fire was lit! According to him, there was no way this other guy could win me over! It was game on from that point on...even though the other guy didn't even come close to comparing to Teddy :)
We planned a date for the next Saturday, which was November 24th...a day after Teddy turned 23. I remember the days leading up to our first date, I was so excited! Me and my cousin Kortni had long conversations about it! It was a very nice first date, no boring moments or awkward silences. We enjoyed dinner at Cafe Rio and as Teddy would say, "the rest was history."
