Valentines Day 2008

Valentines Day

Keifer & I have been talking for several weeks by now & he asked me to come to the station after I got out of school that day. I had planned to go up there anyways, I had bought him a Valentines gift. When I got there he had roses & a teddy bear for me!

I was so shocked he had gotten me a so much & then he asked if I would be his girl friend.

Of course I said yes & that was 3 years ago now!

Obviously we have had good times along with bad times since then but for the most part they have been the best days of my life!

I know in my heart he is perfect for me & God must have had a plan for us to meet!

Keifer Jordan Stidam is the BEST thing that has ever happened to me.

The summer of 2008 Keifer asked me if I would marry him oneday & I was shocked because we had only been dating for maybe 3 or 4 months at the time.

I thought about it for a minute & then I said yes...

I just knew we were soul mates & that I loved him with all my heart!



All these pictures are from along the way.

When Love Began

Keifer & I met Friday January 25, 2008 threw a friend who introduced us.

He came up to the arena in Quincy where I was riding my horse to get ready for a show.

I was really shy back then & didnt really talk to him... I think I may have said hi, or maybe I only waved haha!

He says he fell in love with me as soon as he saw me (who knows).

I wasnt lookin to great that night, I was in my big jacket with a hat on!

He was nice & all but I thought he was friends with my friends boyfriend who I wasnt fond of because he was always in trouble, so I didnt pay much attention to him that night.

The next Friday night he came back to the arena with my friends boyfriend & a few other friends where with him. They were all talkin & carrying on with each other... Just so happens that night I wasnt riding so I was stuck on the bleachers & he kept sittin next to me tryin to talk. Again, I was tryin to ignore him but he was very persistent lol.

Him & his friends had went to the store to get beer & I didnt know what they were doing & I guess since I wasnt paying attention to him that well I didnt notice he had been drinking.

Well long story short he wrecked his truck that night on his way home from dropping his friend off. Talk about NOT a good start to our relationship... When I found out that he had wrecked I kinda felt bad & wondered if he was ok. After I heard he was ok just had to get a few stitches I was mad at him. Although we werent dating or even talking for that matter I thought to myself, how in the world are you going to start trying to get to know me & then do something so stupid?!

The next time I saw him was when I was with my friend going to get her boyfriend to go to a motocross race. We needed gas so we stopped at this tiny BP station that I had never stopped at before & wouldnt ya know Keifer Stidam worked there...

He came out to pump my gas & my heart started racing, It was the first time I had seen his face in the daylight & he was so cute, even with stitches in his chin! LOL

I still didnt talk to him but I couldnt stop thinking wow, I think I like this guy.

After that day my friend & I started going to the station on almost a daily basis to see him.

I always made Sydney go with me because I didnt want to be standing there awkwardly... I wanted to be able to turn to her to laugh when it got quiet between me & him.

(GOOD TIMES)

one of our many trips to the BP to hang out :]
miss those days!
