How we "met".. Its kind of a funny/weird story. We knew of each other because we were in the same stake (Honolulu West) He was in Moanalua 2nd Ward and I was in Kalihi Ward, but we never actually talked to each other. I was the young single adult rep in my ward and he was his in his ward so we saw each other in the stake meetings and still never talked to each other. Until after one of our stake meetings I was walking out to the parking lot to meet my dad, but on my way out the meeting I heard "Lisa wait" it was Elisaia. I was thinking "what does this guy want?" and "only my family calls me Lisa" Nobody ever talks to me during or after the meeting (I was still new to the YSA so I didn't really know anyone.) It was just small talk. I went home and thought nothing more of it.
At that time the YSA in our stake were preparing for the Regional Conference. Each stake was to come up with a Fairtale play for the Roadshow. We did our CTR Cinderella Story. During the practices I started to notice him. Eventhough he talked to Bruce more..but now that I think of it I think he wanted to be cool with the brother before making his move.haha. Conference came and went. Nothing came of it. Eventually my family moved out the stake boundaries and moved back into Honolulu Stake.
Bruce and I started to attend Institute. Someone invited us to play volleyball at the Tab after institute so we went. We got there and who did we see..haha.During one of the games Saia asked me if we really moved I told him yeah. He made a sad face. I was thinking "why you sad for?..we weren't even close.) haha.
The first dance Bruce and I went to since moving was hosted by the Institute I wasn't really looking forward to it since I still didn't know anyone, but it beats staying home so I went. During the dance Saia popped into where we were he said Hi and moved on. At one point I just wasn't into the dance and sat watching Bruce make a fool of himself dancing with whoever. lol. Saia sat next to me. We talked and he asked me if I had a phone. I said yeah. He just nodded his head. I waited awhile and then asked him do you want my number? or not? hahaha..thats where it all started. We always crack up thinking about that night. Eventually Saia told me this guy in his ward was telling everyone I was engaged to him so thats why Saia never made his move while I was in the same Stake. Oh well better late then never yeah?
Saia was my first (and last) boyfriend ever. I've never dated during high school or anything. I guess its true when they say "you just know." I couldn't ask for a better Husband. We've been through a lot in our first year of marriage. Lots of ups and downs of course more ups than downs. We are working on getting sealed in the temple. I can't wait.
