How it all began...

Yes I know you are thinking, here we go just another new family starting a blog. Well, you would be thinking right. We are a new family and I was thinking why not write down the happenings of our day to day life. I know, I know your thinking okay, I am sitting here reading your blog so tell me something interesting. Here we go another story of love at BYU-I.  Well this story cant just be told by one so here it is my side of how we met.
Megan's Side 

Okay so it all began in the fall of 2012. Picture this a new semester.  You are busy meeting new people going to new activities and of course scoping out the boys. Well this particular semester I wont lie was a hard one for me. I had just gone through a pretty hard breakup and was trying to find someone new. I remember seeing Brian walk into church and thinking that he was pretty cute. Although I was not the type of girl to walk up to some random guy and introduce myself. Mistake number one. Brian being a quiet guy I always wondered what he was thinking but never said anything. little did I know what he was thinking. Well, a year or so went by we talked a couple times but nothing really. All the times that we talked I felt like he didn't want to be there. So as the 7 week break for school came up he started asking me questions about our major. He asked me things like who to take for classes and how to buy a parking pass. I thought he was crazy.  Finally I just gave him my number. we started talking everyday and It was the best. We talked on the phone for hours and texted all day. This was only because he was in Michigan and I was in Rexburg. When he came back I remember being so nervous and didn't know what to do. But everything just clicked. I fell in love with him more and more everyday. The poor guy took care of me everyday as I was sick all semester. Finally after all the talk of getting married he finally proposed on October 5th!
HE ASKED!!!!!
We spent the next couple months trying to plan a wedding. Luckily we had the best family in the world. They planned our wedding and helped us so much. We got married on December 21, 2013. It was the best day of our lives.
Brian's Side 

Well my side of the story goes a little bit more in depth because I did all the work :) (yeah that's what he thinks)Well as Megan said it started in the fall of 2012 and I was looking for someone new to date. I had just gone through a really big break up while I was living in Utah. I was looking for someone new, fun and interesting to date. I remember one Sunday night I went to ward prayer for our ward and that night Megan's apartment did the spotlight and as they were introducing their selves I payed close attention to Megan's. I looked her up and down and said to myself DANG!!! I am going to date that girl. I never really said when but I knew that it was going to happen but it wouldn't be for a while. It was so hard after that to talk to her because she was cute and I couldnt talk to her. One time I went to a fireside and I sat right next to her and it was so hard to talk to her and I just wanted to lean over and give her a big fat smooch on the lips. I was going to ask her out and the day I finally got courage to ask her out and that day she got a boyfriend. I was so upset. Then our seven week break came. I left and went home to Michigan and she stayed in Rexburg.
 About a week passed when I found out that she broke up with her boyfriend. I was so happy :) I then facebook stalked her. (like everyone does to girls they are interested in). I then wrote her a message saying:

Brian Mackey
Megan B what is happening? How is your break going? Doing anything fun? anyway just wanted to say hi
Megan Mackey
Hey whats up!? Break is going great. I have been working a ton but that shoukd slow up soon and then ill do something exciting haha. How about you how is break?
That was the begining of our conversation and then it was history from there. At the end of our facebook conversation it went like this: 

Brian Mackey
awesome thanks for the help I am all signed up it will be an interesting semester but I think it will be fun with all of my classes! Another question did you ever have a parking pass for the Hinckley building? Do you know how much it is?
Megan Mackey
It was about 40 bucks you should just text me haha it would be easier lol (her number).
When she gave me her number I ran around the house in joy. My mom could tell how happy I was. We then texted and talked all day everyday after that until we got back to see each other. We had our first date over the phone watching the same movie together. Priceless right? Then it was time to go back to school. I was so exicited and nervous to go because I would have to see Megan face to face. I finally got back put all of my stuff in my house and then went straight to Megan's house. I knocked on her door she opened it and I put out my arms to get a hug and she hugged me. That same day we went on our first "real" date. We went to go see my sister and her new baby and then went to dinner. It was an amazing day. That night I asked her to be my girlfriend and she unforutently said yes. I dodged a bullet with that one. Then it was history after that. We dated for about three weeks Until....
We had talked about marriage and I knew she was the one for me after much prayers, fasting and dilibration with the Lord. I then went to my brother in law for help. I needed help to put a ring on her finger. She told me what she wanted and that was it I then had a mission to find the best one. So Mark and I went out hunting and took a while but I found one and I knew it was the right one. I finally got it and I had it in my possion and I was so happy. We then went to Utah for General Conference weekend where she met my family, she was a little nervous at first but she did great and hit it off great with my family. Satuarday came around and I knew this was the day that I was going to ask her to be mine. I was so nervous the whole day and she new something was up but I tried to act normal. I took her to temple square we walked around a little I had the ring in my pocket and I made she she walked on the oppiste side so she didnt know what was going on. She made it to the other side and I told her here come on this side. Then she knew something was up. We sat down on a bench and I was waiting for a while and then I sat next to her and I was so nervous. I took the box out and said something whatever it was it must have worked and then I asked her to marry me and she said No!!!!!

Oh wait just kidding she said Yes!!! Then it was history from there. We planned a wedding in four months and got married on December 21st in Salt Lake it was the greatest day of my life!!!!!!!!
You see I have married the best man in the world. I am the LUCKIEST girl in the whole world. Dating was fun and finding him was even better. I will say that marriage is not the easiest thing in the world. Actually if you think about marriage its not comfortable at all. I will let you know that being sealed to Brian was the best choice I have ever made.



We go on so many adventures and have the best time doing them. After we were married we spent two days in Salt Lake and then went to California. We had an amazing reception and spent new years in Sacramento. We were so blessed to have time to be together because now school has started and we barley see each other. We are living with my best friend Stefanie, her husband Korey, and their new little one. We have the whole basement and it is nice to have a place to call home. We have had so much fun putting together a home and starting our lives together.
