Husband Tag!




This is my first "blog tag". Yay! I'm glad its about my husband. I don't say enough about him on this blog.

Stats: Lance grew up in Alpine, Utah and hence loves big trucks and extreme sports. Poor Lance has missed snowboarding, mountain biking,rock climbing, hiking and camping since we have moved to Florida. He loves painting, music, muscle cars, working out, and his kids (oh yeah-- and his wife!) Lance works in residential construction and has served in the Elder's Quorum Presidency for the last 3 years.

Us: I met Lance while working as a hostess at Chili's in Orem, Utah. I turned a corner, looked up and saw him-- tall, tan, green eyes. I couldn't take my eyes off him all night. He was different than any other guy I had dated. He was a constant challenge and I was determined to make him fall in love with me-- never would have dreamed we'd get married...

Inside Info: Seems gruff on the outside, but is a big softy underneath it all. He doesn't have an insincere bone in his body. He is honest to a fault. I have to admit it hurts to hear the truth to certain questions- (Do these jeans make me look fat?) But it is a trait that I have grown to love. Now I have no patience for insincerity in others. Lance makes me laugh harder than anyone and makes even the most mundane activities so fun. He truly is my best friend. I tell him anything and everything (ad nauseum).

What's this about not seeing us for another 2 1/2 years??? You WILL come to Prague, if I have to fly out to Florida and drag you back myself!

CUTE! Lance is a very funny guy, but you 2 are hilarious together! I'm coming the end of April for like a week and a 1/2, we better hang out!

I'm not going to be in Utah until March 25th. I'm so sad I'll be missing you guys. :( Maybe we'll have to come visit you in Florida or you guys can come to DC...
