Jase and I met in institute class at UVSC (UVU now). He was the cute guy in the class that came with a friend and a cute girl. I noticed him right away, but thought nothing of it, since he came with a girl to class. During a fun Q&A girls vs boys class, he made a few comments that made him stand out. We chatted maybe twice during classes. A couple weeks after class started Jase gave me a call to go on a date to the Jazz game. We talked the whole night & had a wonderful time!
At the door step, Mom came out and was overly exstatic and scared Jase a bit. He then left without mention of a 2nd date. Two days later, I went to institute class again…looking my best. We had an awkward conversation after class….no 2nd date. A week after our first date, he FINALLY called again…after a family visitor left I called him back & we talked for 4 hours that night. I invited myself over the next day to do “homework” and we hung out almost every day since.
Here is a pic of us on Jase’s big beanbag between his creme leather couches. A couple weeks into dating, I had a pink pen in my hair and I leaned up against the couch and make bright pink pen marks all over the couch. I was so embarrassed, we scrubbed it and it came off…thankfully!
After dating a month, my friends and I got tickets and dates to go see the Thriller Dance show put on by Odyssey. We dressed up…OF COURSE! I had this long black dress, Jase actually hemmed it and helped me alter it. Momma LOVED that he sewed. He got a 70’s outfit and we went out with the friends. It was an awesome night. We went to Hard Rock Cafe first them to The Thriller Dance performance which was amazing. 
After 3 months of dating we got engaged. Jase asked my dad for permission for my hand…so romantic and scary all at once. He proposed at a Jazz game; the Bear took me out on the floor during a timeout and then Jase pushed him out of the way and then he proposed.
This pic is of us outside of the institute building, cuddling up as always.
