I was born into the LDS church. At a young age, I learned in church that the only way you could get to the highest kingdom was if you were married in the Temple. Ever since that lesson, I felt broken because my mom and dad were divorced, and we didn’t have the priesthood in…

October 14, 1983-The Big Day! A man called to tell me that we couldn’t rent the Cultural Hall after all. There had been a mistake and it had been double booked by accident. Someone else had rented it for a basketball game. I was shocked to think that a basketball was a priority over a wedding…

Sunday, July 10, 1983 Richard took me to Temple Square, where he proposed to me in front of the Christ statue and, of course, my answer was yes. After I had said, yes, Richard tried to talk me out of it. He said, “You don’t want to marry me! I can be an awful person!”…

Sunday, May 8, 1983 Mom, Elisabeth, Mom’s sister, Jytte, and her husband, Mike, came to the airport to pick me up. To my relief, Mom never said one word about me taking off to Hawaii. Instead, everyone seemed happy to see me and wanted to know all about my trip. After Aunt Jytte and Mike…

Saturday, April 23, 1983 When we got to Hawaii, Dave’s Dad and stepmother, Susan, came to pick us up at the airport. When they saw me, they gave me a beautiful lei with pink and white flowers as they welcomed me to Hawaii. They drove us to their house. They own a big beautiful house…

Saturday, January 22, 1983 I slept over at Ed’s and Mom’s place last night. I’m here a lot because I have been painting the kitchen and Elisabeth’s furniture. Elisabeth’s room is starting to look cute! When I got up, Robbie was happy to see I was awake because he wanted to make me French toast.…

Wednesday, November 10, 1982 When I got home from work, Dave called. We talked longer than we usually do. He invited me to go with him this Saturday to a class called, “Know Your Religion”. Friday, November 12, 1982 I had to work tonight at the pizza place until 11:30 p.m. It is so scary…

Wednesday, October 13, 1982 When I was working for Lisa today, Dave asked me if I was doing anything tonight. I told him no. Then he looked flustered. I stood there and waited for him to ask me out. But it was as if he couldn’t gather up the courage. Poor Dave. I was no…

Monday, September 6, 1982 Dave called to invite Mom, Elisabeth, and me over for dinner. Since we don’t have a car, he came and picked us up. When he got to our place, he told me that he was going to invite me to go roller-skating with him that night I left with Jeff, then…
