My sister Cynthia is the match maker here. She lived in Florida with her husband Tim and their two kids. Tim and Will were in the same unit in the Air Force. Tim and Cynthia knew that Will was religious so they decided to share their love of the gospel and give Will a Book of Mormon. Later they invited the missionaries over to meet with will. As my sister Cynthia got to know Will more she decided that she liked him and wanted me to "LIKE" him as well. She kept bugging me to get to know him. I kept saying no, then no again, and no once more. But you see, my sister Cynthia is very persistent! So, finally I gave in and said that I would write to him. Just as a Friend! I didn't want to get into any sort of relationship with a non-member that lived in another state. So we wrote for a few weeks and then my birthday came up. For my birthday Will sent me 4 dozen red roses to my work. Well after that I felt like I couldn't just thank him in an e-mail. So, I called my sister and was talking to her and discovered that Will was at her house. So, she surprised me and put him on the phone. Well needless to say we hit it off. We talked for hours that day and everyday after that. The next day that he told me that he was getting baptized. At this point I decided it was time for me to go visit "my sister" and I officially met Will. It was a little weird the first few hours but after that we were inseparable. I stayed for a couple weeks then he came to see me two weeks later. Then on his next trip here he popped the question at the Salt Lake LDS Temple. We had a long year of waiting so that we would be able to get married in the temple- half of which was spent apart in separate states. But in the end it worked out. We celebrate our one year anniversary on September 22nd.
