1. Everybody seems to do first date stuff here. Angel claims we never had a first date. She's pretty right. However, if we did have one it would be the time that Angel came and picked me up from the airport when I was coming back from Denver after a trip there about a month or so after getting home from the mission. She picked me up because I told her I'd buy her a frostie if she did. So, that was the first thing we did. We bought frosties and ate them at the top of the now non-existant crossroads plaza. I'm not going to go through the whole day but it included eating Blimpies in the lobby of the Marriott, shopping for wedding gifts for some one(we bought a Holmes fan and Trivial Pursuit), watching skaters in Park City, buying Slurpees in Park City, watching Master and Command in Rick and Pam's basement, and ended with a smooch or two.
2. I proposed to Angel in the Art Museum at the University of Utah. I knew she would say yes since we had set a date and scheduled the temple 3 or 4 months earlier. One of the things that originally caught my attention with Angel was when I overheard her tell someone else that she was interested in art history. I always knew I wanted a wife who was into art. I'm pretty sure she was inspired to say that right then. We both like to go check out the art museums though we don't do it nearly as often as we would like.
3. Angel and I have never spent a night apart since we've been married.
4. Angel will begin her professional career as an elementary teacher this year teaching fourth grade. I still have this and next year of school before I start my career as a computer programmer nerd guy. We figure we have a pretty good setup in this. Angel will go and make a difference in people lives and make the world a better place, and I'll.....make money.
5. Angel and I live (temporarily, until the beginning of October) in BYU family student housing. We are abnormalities here. We don't have kids and Angel isn't pregnant. I haven't seen anyone else in this situation in the vicinity. We also go somewhat out of our way not to know anyone. This is partly because we're only here for about two months and partly because all the people here are wierdo BYU students. (I'm pretty positive they're all scared away by my beard and assume Angel is the BYU student. They probably think I'm keeping her here against her will.)
6. Angel and I both speak Chinese. No we don't really speak it at home (except praying. For some reason I can only pray in Chinese) and we don't play on teaching our kids anything except funny stuff. However, we do use it to make fun of people in public in front of them and just generally send messages to each other that we don't want other to know about. Unlike spanish we can be quite confident that no one else understands what we're saying because if they did they would either by chinese or a return missionary from our mission.
7. Angel and I eat burgers, pizza, sandwiches, and pasta. We've never gone out for chinese food except for mission reunion type stuff. Chinese food is no good. American Chinese food is way better than the authentic stuff but still, why would you get that when there are so many other better options.
So, that's a few things about us. If you want to know more then too bad. Here's some bonus information for you. We aren't one of those couples that always hangs out with other couple and plays board games and stuff. We haven't gotten sick of each other yet and don't see that happening anytime soon so we just enjoy each others company as much as we can.

Look at how nice you look with short hair! I bet Chloe wouldn't have been scared of you if you looked like you do in that picture when she saw you... that was a weird, long sentence. Anyway, it was nice seeing you two last week and fun to read about your beginnings, etc. Love you!
Well, I'm glad you and Angel relented and played games with us the other night:0) Angel is quite good a dominos! And aside from the mouse incident it was a pretty fun evening. It was good times having you two here again so soon. In spite of Chloe's misgivings I think you're a lot of fun.
It's great to learn a little more about the two of you as a couple.
Thanks for your advice on my blog! Also I have loved learning about you two. This post is fun. I am totally jealous you two can talk about people in front of them and they have no idea. I try to "signal" things to Jaron like if I wink that means let's go. He isn't the best at noticing and the other people think I am spastic....which I guess is also true.
Nice that you added Angel to your blog. Great picture of the two of you and it was interesting to hear more about how you met and such.
Interesting stuff. It's sad that I have to resort to your blog to get to know Angel since we live so far away, but it's certainly better than nothing. Speaking of nothing, what isnt better than nothing? Chinese water torture? Eating black licorice? (I dont think I spelled that right).
That's awesome, your guys' story sounds a lot like ours, but i proposed in a laundry room after we'd already scheduled the temple and all the other good stuff. It's been a long time tyson, hope all is going well.
I'm so glad you guys have a blog! I loved reading that post about you guys, and what's better is that Tyson wrote it! I wonder what I'd have to do to get Phil to post something on our blog... Anyway, you guys are adorable and we're not offended that you like hanging out by yourselves. We're kinda the same way. But you should show your faces up at the Holmes' house a little more often, since you're so close and all. Jack & Henry would love to see you :) Oh, and us too! Love you guys!
