Getting to Know Us :)

Welcome to our little John Family blog!! I thought I'd kick this off with a little intro to who we are. Devin and I probably met sometime in our teen years. Neither of us really remember a specific first encounter with the other, but we've always known about the other. We spent the majority of our lives in the same town/area, seeing each other at various church functions and get-togethers. We became good friends at the beginning of our last year in high school. We spent the greater part of senior year dating and grew really close.

Shortly after graduating, Devin left for a two-year mission in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ten months later I took off for an eighteen-month mission in Melbourne, Australia. While we were apart, we kept in touch by hand-written letters and weekly e-mails. After I returned from Australia, we decided two and a half years was enough time apart for us, so we agreed to spend the rest of our lives with each other! We were married in December of 2014 in the LDS Idaho Falls temple. We plan to welcome in the newest member of the John family in this coming March and can't wait to be parents!

A big part of who we both are is our religion and the value-system we share. We try to rely on and recognize the Lord in all aspects of our lives. We both understand and appreciate that the Lord has given us each other to learn and grow together. We enjoy finding ways to strengthen our relationship and want to be as best of friends as possible. We are still learning and will continue to learn throughout our marriage, but are very excited for the great possibilities in our future!
