My Best Friend

I know it's been a while since I posted, (8 days to be exact) but I was waiting for this particular day to write my next post.  This is an extremely special day for us here at the Morgan house.  It is on this day, one year ago, that we got married! 

So for those of you who don't know, I met Landan Dymond Morgan when I was 13 years old.  We were on this two week long trip called the 'Back East Trip' where we visited all of the historical church sites back east.  Landan and I were fortunate enough to be assigned to the same bus, and the luck continued as his crappy friends 'forgot' to save him a seat by them, so he had to sit in the back by me! We talked for a little, and quickly became friends.  I would have Landan talk to all the boys I liked, and as his reward, I would tell him secrets I had dug up about people on the bus.  (We were quite the little team).  Landan was such a little dork, I remember him telling people to 'call him Captain Morgan' ..... and flirting with all these girls on the trip because as he puts it, he's a "Big Deal".  I also remember Landan coming to my 14th birthday party, but I did not like him, and was definitely not interested in him.  Infact, I was not even remotely interested in him untill he returned home from his mission FOUR YEARS LATER.

Landan would not date me untill I was out of high school, so the day I graduated I texted him and said, "I think I'm finally old enough for you now." And the magic began! Landan and I dated all throughout summer and decided that we were not going to break up when I went to college at Northern Arizona University.  Two weeks after I had left, this smooth talker came up to my school to propose to me.  I, of course, said yes without hesitation and we began making plans.  Our long distance engagement was hard, but Landan wrote me letters, called, texted, skyped, and sent me presents almost every week so I wouldn't miss him too much.  When it was finally time for me to move back home, it was the middle of December and the wedding was only a few short weeks away!  When the day finally came, Landan picked me up, and we took our little road trip to St. George where we were married and sealed on January 7, 2011 in the St. George temple. 

I love Landan more than words can even express.  I really feel like he is the only person on this whole earth that I could have married.  He is so patient, kind, giving, hardworking, honest, loving, and of course handsome.  He comes from such an amazing family who has been so gracious and has accepted me as one of the family since day one of meeting me.  I have the best in-laws anyone could even dream of.  They raised a son who is more than I even imagined.  He is truly an incredible man, and I am so happy and fortunate to have found my soulmate at such a young age.  I love you Landan! One year down, forever to go. ♥
