Todd and I met at Nu Skin when we both worked there. A girl on his team wanted to set us up so she told Todd that I could help him with something (I think it was some email thing). So he called me and then came over to my desk. He wasn't exactly sure where I sat so he said "is there a Traci over here?" I knew he was looking for me and was totally bugged he would forget my name but I told him he was looking for me. There wasn't a lot I could actually do to help him so I just pointed him in the right direction and that was that.
Then Becky (his co-worker) kept on pushing it so over IM he asked me if I wanted to go to lunch with him. Sure why not? So we went on a lunch date to Yamato's (a Japanese place) and I drove because his car was broken down. He didn't like his food very much so he just played around with it and ate a few bites. I'm pretty sure I ate more than him on our first date....oops! After that we started chatting A LOT over instant messenger and he asked me out again. This time we were going to a concert at UVSC and then dinner. I told him I had to go to step aerobics first so we were totally late and only made it for about 30 minutes of the concert. Then we went to dinner at Chevy's (another place he didn't like very much). I don't think we've ever been back to either of the places we went on our first 2 dates. After our first "real" date he came back to my apartment and we hung out watching tv....and yes we kissed on our first date. We met and started dating in July and were married in December of the same year.
The first time he met the family was hilarious. He asked me if I would drive him up to the airport and since I was going up to mom & dad's house in SLC I agreed. So Heidi and I went to pick him up at about 7:00 am. I knocked on his apartment door for what seems an eternity and his roommate answered the door and told me Todd was asleep and no wonder his alarm had been going off all morning. Within a few minutes Todd shows up with a pair of basketball shorts in hand ready to go. We got almost all the way to the freeway before I asked him if he had his wallet with his driver's license. Nope. So we hurried back to his place for him to get it. Heidi and I waited in the car and he was inside for SO LONG (seriously at least 15 minutes). When he came back out he had showered and put on some cologne and picked up his wallet of course. He still only had a pair of basketball shorts in his hand and we were amazed that was all he was taking on his trip. He said he didn't need anything else since he was driving home 1 1/2 days later. We were really late by this point and needless to say he missed his flight. So he ended up coming with us since the next flight to Twin Falls wasn't for about 3 hours. My parents house was a little crazy that morning since George and his family were visiting and Danny and Emily were in the process of moving out that day. Todd just sat right down at the kitchen table with everyone and had his first buckwheat pancakes.
