Psuedo date
I was supposed to go on a date with Connor, but ended up setting him up with one of my friends. -
1st date
Niel set us up on this date. We made dinner and played reverse charades. Connor and I hardly talked to each other, but it was enough to go on another date. -
2nd date
Connor asked me to go ice skating and didn't even hold my hand. What the heck? We had some good conversations because we were one-on-one and found that we could have fun together. It was right after Connor's birthday and I bought him a cupcake! -
3rd date
Connor and I watched the Christmas Devotional together. We held hands for the first time during the devotional while Matthew and Emma were sleeping. hehe Connor and I played music together afterwards and came up with the a band name that has stuck; ConKatie. -
4th date
Connor and I went to Temple Square for our 4th date. We had dinner at Connor's apartment and then rode the Frontrunner to Temple Square. We walked around and looked at the lights. A random guy saw us sitting on a bench and took a photo of us. When we were saying goodnight, we kissed for the first time at the Frontrunner station. Boom baby!!! -
5th date
Connor came over to Ben and Michelle's for dinner. He got to know Ben and Michelle and the kids. Since it was close to Christmas, we reenacted The Nativity and filmed it. -
6th date
We went on a date to do baptisms at the Payson Temple. Connor baptized me for his family names. The temple workers mistook me for Connor's sister and wife. ha! -
We officially started dating
After Connor left for AZ for Christmas break, I called him (after a good chat with Niel) and we decided to become official. We talked almost everyday over Christmas break. -
Trip home from AZ
Connor invited me to come to AZ at the end of Christmas break to ride back to Utah with him. I met his parents and spent some time with them before we headed back to Utah. We realized that we could spend long amounts of time together and not get sick of each other. ;) -
Surprise date
After my night class, I jumped on the Frontrunner and went to see Connor. I was really missing him and decided to do something crazy. We got to spend a couple hours together and then I stayed the night at Ben and Michelle's. I rode back to Provo in the morning. I told Connor that I loved him that night!!!! :) -

Visits
After church, we did visits to some members of my ward together. It was neat to feel like a missionary with Connor. -
Valentines Day
We celebrated our first valentines day together. Connor gave me a picture frame of some of our memorable photos. It was very sweet! -
Doing sealings
Connor and I did sealings together for the first time in the Odgen temple. The temple workers thought we were married and when they found out that we weren't told us that we were in the right place to fix that. haha! -
