Sarah's Version...
Ok, we met at UNT. He works in the language lab and I work in the MacLab for the Journalism department. Last semester (Fall 07) we meet because I had two Spanish classes and was supposed to spend an hour in the lab each week. He caught my eye but I didn't do anything because I was dating someone else and it was really complicated with him. We walked through the building at the beginning of the semester (first week or two or school) and talked a little, found out that we were both dating someone. Even though we were both dating and I thought I was so happy, there was always something about him that drew me to him. In November, we started talking and I invited him to come hang out with some members. That was a Thursday night that I talked to him. He came to my lab when he got off work and we ended up spending the entire night together. I think that was the 29th of November. It was around 3am that we finally stopped talking and that is because my mom came looking for me. My phone was on silent and she was worried when I didn't answer after trying to call me three times. Later that weekend, I picked him up and he hung out with us. I was worried about it all and very uncomfortable. My ex ended up there and it was more than obvious that Gordon liked me. My ex and I just broke up and I felt very uncomfortable with it all. I invited Gordon to the first presidency message. That was Stake Conference weekend as well as a temple trip. After my session of stake conference I rushed to meet him near the square and we watched Loralyn's harp ensemble with Sheaunna. After that he came with me to Leah's and then to the stake center. (I think this is all in the right order. I have a horrible memory) I avoided him for a long time out of fear. I think something inside of me knew what good would come from our friendship and I think Satan knew as well. I was scared. He started investigating the church and I tried to push him farther but yet be helpful with his investigation. I know I was confusing him because I was confused myself. Gordon was baptized January 4th. January 18th we sat and talked and he made me dinner. I told him all of my issues, well 90% of them. It was something I have never done. I don't open up to people that well when it comes to my family and our past and what we went through. That Sunday the Lord made it clear that we needed to date. The rest was history. February 19th I was given a very strong confirmation that I needed to marry him. It was my second answer. The first was the day before when I opened my fast about marrying him. That second one previously mentioned was while I was reading my scriptures the 19th inside the temple.
