I've been tagged

How it all began!

My friend Stephanie tagged me and so I am going to try and remember as much as I can.
1. Where did you meet your husband?
Michael and I grew up in Bakersfield and always knew of eachother. It wasn't until after his mission one summer we met formally at a young adult dance. I was invited to go with Lisa Faulkner and was sure there would only be freaks there but boy was I wrong. ( There were a ton of freaks)HAHAHA!
2. What was the first thing you said to your husband?
I can't remember but Michael seems to think it was "Want a blow pop!"
3. Where was your first date?
Michael and all the other guys set up a tv out on Highland high schools baseball field and we watched a movie. I was feeling really bad because I couldn't remember the movie but then Michael couldn't either.
4. Where was your first kiss?
To give a brief back ground, Sharol Austin and I were talking to Michael after one of the young adult activities and were telling him that girls give signs to the boy when it is ok to kiss them. So and few weeks later Michael brought me home from a date (which one I can't remember) and walked me up to the front door and we stood there for about 30 minutes not knowing what to talk about and then he finally kissed me after I gave him the ok sign. I thought he never would and boy was I SOOOOOO happy.
5. Did you have a long or short engagement/courtship?
We dated off and on for about 9 months. Michael kept telling me I wasn't the one and that he just wanted to be friends but I kept fighting and it finally worked. We were engaged for 2 months and that was still too long.
6. Where did you get engaged?
Michael took me to the beach for the day on May 25th and it was freezing. We stayed there for awhile and then we went and walked around the Sherman Oaks Mall. He took me to dinner at a little Mexican resturaunt right by the temple and after we ate he asked if I wanted to go over to the temple. I said no because I was cold but he said we really should so off we went. We got there and walked around the grounds until we came to the bench right outside were the bride and groom come out. We were sitting there for awhile and then the next thing I knew he was on one knee. It was great!!!!!
7. Where did you get married?
On August 2, 1996 we were married in the Los Angeles temple.
8. How did the reception go?
There are only a few things I remember. Adam Rosses wife dancing to "Hey Macaraina", The line was forever long, they put a picture of Michael burnt after the dust storm on the picture wall, and I didn't get any cake.
9. How was the honeymoon?
We flew to Florida and went to Disney World for a week. Other then it being really hummid it was a blast. There are so many parks there that we really didn't know where to start. One of the days we went to one of the water parks (Blizzard Beach) and went down one of the tallest slides. I was cleaned out pretty good by the time I reached the bottom if you know what I mean! We also went to Pleasure Island and they wouldn't let me in unless Michael had a note from my parents allowing him to take me into the park.( You had to be 21 or older ) I hope some day we will be able to go back.

Tag your it!

So does that mean I have to answer all the question?
