{when we first met}

Blake and I met at our singles ward in Provo. The first time I saw him I remember thinking how cute he was! Our first conversation was at one of our ward prayers. Names were exhanged, he told me I couldn't throw my trash away in a certain trash can and that was about the extent of our conversation. From that point on he asked for my name again at every ward prayer [he told me later that he really remembered it but he needed a reason to talk to me]. The first time he asked me out it was over Facebook. I made fun of him for it once but then he said the joke was on me since I still went out with him, I had no response to that.... [Not only did he ask me out on Facebook but he didnt even open my door! He thought that I went to the wrong car but really I was following him so he could open my door. He made fun of me for that for the longest time until I finally let him know that I didn't go to the wrong car but I was waiting for him to open my door! He hasn't made fun of me for that since]. We had the typical first date, you know the one that is like an interrogation "whats your favorite movie, food, color, music, animal, things to do" and so on. The conversation was infused with various movie quotes, mostly from Anchorman [his car is named Ron Burgondy]. Since our first date on September 20, we have been together every night, minus the times one of us have been gone!

A Little Background


I (Kenzi) was born in Provo and grew up in Heber City, Utah. There are six people in my family, about to be seven; my dad Greg, mom Vicky, my older sister Tori, my brother-in-law Daniel, my younger sister Hallee and my soon to be husband Blake! My younger sister was adopted in 2002 from Little Rock Arkansas and our lives have been anything but boring from that point on! My favorite place to go is Disneyland which I believe is the HAPPIEST place on earth! I graduated from Wasatch High School in 2010 and then moved to Provo to go to UVU! Now I am just working at Satton Marketing which is a summer sales company that keeps me very busy! I love to watch movies and play board games. My greatest game moment would be when I played a 66 point word in Scrabble! I must say it was a killer word.

Now to introduce my fiance...

Blake was born in Georgia and grew up in Collierville Tennessee/ St. Louis Missouri! His family is a little bigger than mine;  his dad Laury, his mom Joni, his older brother Reed, his sister-in-law Megan, his niece Sage, his younger sister Alex and his younger brother Tanner! He played football for a little while but then decided that he wanted to play lacrosse. He loves to tell me about how much of a "beast" he was running around hitting people with sticks! He even played for the University of Memphis for a little while before he went on his mission! He served outside of New Orleans Louisiana and in one of his areas he could drive to Collierville, home, then back to his mission and still have miles on his car! After his mission he moved here to Utah, which doesn't make sense since he hates the snow, to go to school. He loves to play his guitars and harmonicas which he is amazing at! He also enjoys watching movies and playing games, but i always win.
