Well, now that I'm married, I feel it is appropriate to re-enter the blogging world. I suddenly feel super crafty and domestic. I love it! Some of the things I've been craving to do:

Make curtains

Knit sweaters

Cook extensive meals

and

BLOG!

I have lots of pictures to put up, but currently, the only picture I have on this computer is a picture of Tommy, Ethan and I at Mongolian BBQ for Ethan's 15th birthday. I can't believe he is getting so old and I can't believe that mine and Tommy's sunday school students are the same age as my little brother. For some reason they seem so much older!

So, let me introduce to you, my wonderful husband: Tommy Michael Clements

Born April 6, 1980 in Provo, Utah with his dear twin sister, Melanie. A big surprise to his parents, Mike and Rogene, as this was before sonagrams.

After moving around between Utah and Washington in his younger years, Tommy spent most of his growing years in South Sac. (He likes it when I say South Sac, cuz it makes him sound tough, being from the ghetto and all.) Although he will argue that he was a "performer", I like to think of him as a "dancer". Tommy met and grew close with his lifelong friends in a "performing" group called Galena Street East. They not only did shows here and in DC, but they also toured Europe, sharing their testimonies through song and dance.

After his rowdy days, Tommy headed out to BYU to begin his degree in exercise science (same as me!) and took a 2 year break to serve a mission in Porto Alegre, Brazil. He is still working on teaching me Portuguese. Sim! It was back to BYU, from which he graduated in 2005? Or so. Meaning...we were there for approximately a year and some at the same time. Weird.

After his undergrad he went on to dental school at UOP in San Francisco, where he fell in love with the city by the bay. He basically had no life other than studying for 3 years, doing clinicals and trying to get his date on when he could. He left there in 2008 and has been practicing dentistry at a few different practices until he found (or rather, they found him) the practice of his dreams. He now works for Weideman's Pediatric Dentistry and he loves working with the kiddies. It is an awesome practice with good moral values that is decked out with an underwater theme that the kids love.

We met at a Valentine's Dance in February. He got my number at the refreshment table and there was some good conversation going on. He didn't call me and 2 weeks later I sat in his sunday school class in the singles ward, and it was back on. I didn't mean to, but I gave him the run-around for a little. Took off for Utah for a month and when I came back we eventually started dating for reals. It didn't take long for me to realize I was never going to find a better person than that Tommy Clements.

He is amazing in so many ways. As Melanie said: "To know Tom, is to love Tom." He is a happy person with a great enthusiasm and love of the gospel. He loves the ninja blender, Life and Planet Earth, birds of prey and his wife's cookin'. He is patient, a genius, loving, a good communicator, funny, cool, a good DANCER, a good singer, a great husband.

And that's Tommy!
