The weekend after we became "official" it was General Conference for our church. And he came to Logan to spend it with me, even though he should've been in his hometown working on the restaurant he was starting with his brother. We may or may not have kissed through some of the first session on Saturday. (I know, pretty scandalous stuff huh?) Then we met up with my family for Baby Animal Days.
