It all began with a flirt and a hit!!!

If I got a calendar out I could find the exact day I met Steve. It was a weekend in September 1989. I went to a U of U football game with some Kappas. I had fun running around flirting and not paying one bit of attention to the game. After the game (that I'm sure the U won because come on, it's the U) I was walking back to the Kappa house with a friend and she fell and got hurt so she went home. I was left with the option of going to my car and going home, or walking to the Kappa house alone and hanging out. THIS is where I believe fate takes over. I walked by myself over to the Kappa Sig house and went in to this party alone.

That same night Steve had just broken up with his girlfriend and had come back from the game to the Kappa Sig house. (I'm sure to find a quick scam!!)

I remember exactly where we were standing in the Kappa Sig house. A group of people were just talking and laughing and Steve said something funny (imagine that). I remember hitting him in the arm when he said it, and then before I knew it, he had hit me back! Boys don't hit girls!!! But this boy did! We ended up laughing and dancing at the Kappa Sig house. Then he took me to the "U" on the hill. I told him over and over I wasn't going to kiss him, but man, he knows how to work it! We kissed on the U, and then in the car in a park until we were busted by the cops!!

Sorry, I got lost in the past there for a minute. I just found these pictures of the two of us and fell in love all over again......


This is my favorite picture of Steve and I. We went to a Kappa Sig formal and he gave me a watch that night. We jumped in a hot tub in clothes, and just laughed and had so much fun. I totally fell in love!!


Cute couple at a Greek thing. I seriouslly just love him!

Awesome memories of Lake Powell.
Hard to believe that it all started with a couple of kids falling in love and here we are with 5 kids and an awesome life!!!

And I remember the first time I saw/met Steven. He was all dressed up in a tux and looked yummy. We were at the ward singing as a family at the Spring Sing "Be Kind to your Parents." Remember that song until you die, and hope your kids are as good to you as you are to me!!!! Love you, The Hammer Mom

My FAVORITE part about this walk down memory lane is that you called it a "quick scam". SCAMMING....that is what we called it in the 80's! Linden will die when she reads that. HA! This was awesome and what a great couple you are. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. I'm gonna go scam with Chris right now! : )
