First time at the singles ward!!! and I found a man!

I have been dreaming about this day my entire highschool career!!!! The infamous singles ward where there are endless boys to date and fun activities!!!! So promptly after graduation I set out to Washington for perhaps my last visit as a single women.  I went on a few fun dates and talked with my cousin about moving up there and finding a job.  I came home and prepared myself for the singles word.  My first preparation was to attend a lake trip with my dad.  There I could work on my leg muscles by water skiing and also most importantly I could further bleach my hair blond by the sun and work on my glowing tan.   I spent lots of time getting ready for church that morning.  I flawlessly did my makeup and blow dried my hair until it was perfect.  I had borrowed one of Summers skirts and in my mind I was a total babe!!!

I walked into the chapel early and immediately noticed a row of cute boys sitting in the last pew.  I made my move and sat directly in front of them.  I'm sitting there thumbing through my scriptures trying to look spiritual when someone hands me a note from behind.  I smiled and read it.....

Name:
Number:
Please return to Joseph Hartzell

I was so flattered! I wasn't even in the singles word for 15 minutes and already I had an interested boy after me! I didn't even know who this dude was but,I gave him my digits anyway. He received our home phone number and not my cell phone just in case he was a weirdo I could have my step dad give him a talking too :)

So after sacrament was over I had about ten different boys come up, shake my hand and introduce themselves.  Then this super cute boy with curly hair came up and said " Hi, I'm Joe Hartzell.  My friend sent you that note but can i really call you?" I says sure! But  By the end of that day I had forgotten what he looked like.

Two weeks later Joe was finally able to get a hold of my mom who gave him my cell phone number.  I guess my step dad kept answering and telling him (in a stern voice) that I wasn't there as I was working and not home very much. So one day I get a call and its Joe!  He invited me to a single adult activity.  It was a fun barbecue at big surf.. our towns big water park.   I was trying very hard to remember what Joe looked like but just couldn't (I have the worst memory)  So after work I met him at his house and lets just say I was not disappointed!!! Joe was very nice to look at! He was muscly and very cute! It also helped his case that he was driving his dads Firebird which I fell in love with instantly.  So we headed off to big surf.  We had SOOO much fun!!!!! I had never had so much fun with a boy before.  We just seamed to click and I felt like I had known him forever! We swam in the wade pool and he gave me a piggy back ride to the bathrooms.   We sat a chatted and just had a genuinely good time.... I went home that night and told me mom that this was the boy I would one day marry!

After that night we saw each other every day that week.  We couldn't get enough of each other at first.  I wanted to know every thing about him and I wanted him to know everything about me.  He even made me dinner one night! I met his parents and his mom took a picture of us together with the wonderful meal He had prepared!  A month or so later We went to Tucson so I could meat his two brothers and he could meat my Dad and his family.   It was fun and we loved each others family! We were all playing games with Dad and the kids when him and Shane kept passing some silent but deadly farts! No one would say anything but there was this death cloud hovering around our circle.  Finally Joe called them out and asked what stunk so bad and dad and Shane started laughing! That's when he knew he could be a part of this family!
