My mom wasn’t a member when the story takes place.
-
I called my parents and said I had an assignment due for folklore and I wanted the story of how they met each other from each of them. They said they would record each other's story and send it to me. I requested that they have one of my little brother record the story so that their version of the story wouldn't be influenced by each other. They recorded themselves in separate rooms. \r Lisa Blay is one of my mom's college friends who was known for dating many boys.
-
My parents have ten children and have been married for twenty-eight years. Only six of the children live at home now. They weren't members of the LDS church at the time.

First Date, Jeff and Stella, How we met
-
How collected: My mom videotaped herself telling the story and they sent it to me via text message. Then I transcribed the video. Long pauses and filler words like Um and Uh were edited out.\rText: Okay so Dad and I met when he was a TA, teaching skills for an EMT class and I was taking the EMT class with Lisa Blay. And he was just one of those skills instructors and we—a group of us students would always go out like if it was—I don't know-- I don't even remember what day of the week it was, but afterwards we'd go out and have dinner somewhere, go meet up somewhere. So we were gonna go to In ‘n Out that day so I asked your dad if he would like to go with us and so he said, "Oh well the students aren't—we're not supposed to really date." And I said, "well it's just a group thing so you can meet us there if you want." And so—and Dad ended up showing up there and I ended up talking to him and Lisa Blay had to go and do something and so she left me there with Dad and he drove me home and we ended up talking for probably a couple hours. I think it was well after ten o' clock by the time we finished talking and we were just talking. We were\rparked in front of my house and we just talked for a long time and then we just kept dating ever since and two and a half weeks later we were engaged. Yeah so we met because--- we met in class and I thought he was cute and he wasn't asking me out so I asked him out. I figured you want something you gotta go get it. So the reason Dad and I are married is because I asked him out. That's it. If you have any more questions you can give a holler. we dated for two and half weeks and were engaged and we got married 8 months later.
