Enginerd Romance

 As of yesterday, Logan and I have been married for three years!  Our anniversary was a little different this year than it has been previously.  First of all, although we did our traditional Jackson Hole trip, this year we took our six month old baby Lucy with us.  I will post more pictures of our Jackson trip later. Second, our actual anniversary was on Mother's day, so it kind of got lost in the celebration of Mothers.  Neither of these are necessarily bad things, I just didn't get to focus on the importance of our anniversary like I normally do.

So, here is the story of our enginerd romance:

Looking at the surface, Logan and my romance was pretty normal.  We met in college, started dating, fell in love, and got married.  However, if you look deeper, you can find the true nerdiness of our relationship. 

Logan first noticed me when I was giving a presentation about the Logan landfill and recycling in our Environmental Management class.  We first started talking to each other when we were in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) presidency together.  Then, we started doing our homework together, and started talking to each other in our Transportation class.  We worked on the steel bridge together.  Sparks started flying at the ASCE steel bridge and concrete canoe competition.  Almost all of our engineering friends at the conference noticed that someone was up, and when engineers notice stuff like that, you know it's getting serious.

We went to homecoming dressed in duct tape.  And then, we even started reading the steel manual together by the hearth.  It was destined to be a serious relationship.

On May 8th, 2008 the week after we both finished our bachelors degrees in Civil Engineering, we were married in the Bountiful Temple.  As you can tell from the picture below, we were pretty excited about it. 

The past three years have been fantastic.  Logan is such a great husband, and I love that we can be nerdy together.  We have visited buildings that I designed, gone to bridge launches for bridges he has designed, and look at the structural components of all large buildings we enter.  Logan is the best dad!  He is so good with Lucy and does whatever he can to help me when I need a break .  Pretty soon Lucy is going to know the difference between a beam and a column, and between a beam and a girder. 

 This picture looks like a normal self-portrait -- really we were trying to show the crazy snow loads on the building behind us! Nerds!

I'm so glad I married Logan!  I love you babe!
