Dion and Whitney
January 14, 2011
One day I randomly decided to join a website called “Flixster”. This was a site to rate movies, become fans of actors/actresses, etc... One day I got a random message on my Flixster account. It happened to be a boy from Australia. I normally just spoke to people I knew on the internet, at this time in my life, but I felt different about this message I received from Dion. So I decided to write him back. I call it fate! I really don’t remember what we exactly talked about, but I really enjoyed our chatting online. I know he asked if I was LDS (Mormon) since I was from Provo, Utah. He then told me he was too which I thought was really cool. From there we just started talking a lot and getting to know each other. At some point in time I ended up giving him my phone number, but I never gave him the country code. I just didn’t even think anything of it. He ended up finding out the code and started texting me. I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I got my very first text from him. I was lying on my couch downstairs watching TV. We texted a lot and wrote on myspace a lot. After a while we changed to facebook. In March of 2008 he came out to the U.S. for 2 years. It was the first time meeting him in person. I knew I really liked him. He went back to Australia in March of 2010. Once he was back there it was back to texting and facebook for us. We also started skyping. I went out to Australia in May of 2010 for a month to visit him. Our love kept growing stronger and stronger. We got engaged while I was out there. I went back home to Utah and we started saving money to get married. Dion ended up coming back to the U.S in October of 2010 and spent almost 4 months there with me. We got married January 14, 2011. We came back to Australia to start our life together. We now have a little boy together, who is almost 1. Dion has been my best friend since we started talking. He’s always been there for me and helped through so much! I’m glad he’s my best friend and my husband!
