How we began..

Tim and I met when I was a sophmore and he was a junior. We met at a regional choir concert that surprisingly neither of us actually wanted to try out for (thank goodness for our teachers that signed us up without our concent)We went to different high schools but we both shared a passion for music. Something that has never changed. Tim had the BIGGEST most contagious laugh of anyone I had ever met and I was VERY timid and shy. I had my eye on him the entire practice but for some reason he played things cool and acted like girls were lame sauce in his eyes! Later though, after our lunch break, Tim was sitting next to me and I was THRILLED! He was such a good little flirt and I was addicted to his personality and good looks almost instantly. Unfortunately, it took some time for Tim to feel the same as he was currently "playing the field." He made me ask him for his number, which was entirely out of character for me, but I felt like it was necessary for some reason. It took about every ounce of courage in my body to ask for it...and it payed off! We stayed in contact for about 6 months and then...silence. However, it was not too long after that he called me out of the blue..Long story short, we dated all of my senior year and he put in his mission papers..
I felt so selfish, I really just wanted him to myself but knew the blessings of a mission and the importance of serving the Lord. So right after I graduated, Tim and I said our dreaded goodbyes.
So sorry this picture is just little for some reason.

We spent the next 2 years of our lives, writing and praying for things to work out between us. Thankfully, time flew by and he was home in no time (although, sometimes it felt like it would NEVER end!!) I went to the airport with his family and waited anxiously for him to walk down the terminal! Every man in a suit walking through the doors made my heart spin but when his nieces and nephews started saying "He's coming he's coming", my heart started pounding so loud I could hear nothing but the sound of my heart beating so quickly I was certain it would come flying out! The second I saw him, I burst into tears and all I could do was look at the man i loved standing feet from me. I waited for his family to hug him then for the ok from his dad, and I got my chance to throw my arms around his neck and give him the biggest hug I had ever given! It sounds so cheesy but the world simply fell away and it was just Tim and I. His sweet whispers of " I love you Trina, thanks for waiting" made 2 years with out him worth the wait. He held me while I sobbed into his suit jacket. It could not have felt more right, more perfect!! Our embrace was quickly inturrpted as we were reminded of the fact he had not been released and we would not be allowed to touch until he was! Such a bittersweet moment!

We spent every waking moment together and 7 weeks later he popped the big one!! He took me to the place we had met 4 years earlier! Side note-It was summer and nearly impossible for anyone to get in to the school auditorium, but he is magical and amazing and somehow pulled it off! I should have expected it but for some reason, Tim had me tricked into thinking that he we were going to pick up DJ stuff for his brother! Sneaky boy! Anyways, it was perfect and I said yes a million times through my tears of joy!! I had dreamt about it for so long that it was really hard for me to believe it was actually real! Simply perfect, just like my Tim!

Six Weeks later we were married for time and all eternity in the Snowflake, Az temple on September 12th 2009. I felt like a princess marrying her prince charming in a castle. Pretty much my dream come true! It was the most amazing day of our lives, at least so far! But that might have to be story for another blog, as this one seems to have gotten out of hand and dangerously long! Hopefully I'll get a better grasp on this whole blogging thing!
