Busy, Busy, Busy

Wedding plans are well underway and it feels like we can never get enough accomplished. Jimmy leaves to go back to school for a month and its going to be hard not only because I cant see him but because its so close to the wedding! But we are still very excited and wish it was december already!

We're Engaged!!!

We are excited to share the news that we are getting married. The big day is December 20th!
Some of you might be wondering... how? when?
We met at a birthday party in June and a friend of ours, Tyler Mecham, introduced us. Jimmy had been home from medical school only about three days and Tyler convinced him to just stop by this party. I was sitting on a couch and I looked up and saw Tyler pointing at me and and talking to Jimmy (whom I didnt know of course) then they made their way over and Tyler talked us up to one another about how cool we were and even made sure we exchanged phone numbers. Pretty cliche, but hey we are still thanking Tyler for that one. We went to the lake the following week with some of our friends and from then on we were hooked.

Who is Jimmy Gunn?

Here comes the Jimmy Gunn story. I was born in Phoenix but my family moved to Mesa when I was about 7 years old. I was lucky to be born into a wonderful family with 5 brothers and sisters and awesome parents. I attended Mountain View High School and graduated in 1997. I enjoy all types of sports and outdoor activities. After high school I served a mission in Buenos Aires, Argentina and loved every second of my time with the Argentine people. I began school at ASU studying Biology and Spanish. While attending ASU I was offered a teaching job at Heritage Academy teaching 7th and 8th grade Spanish. I taught full time for 3 years and retired from teaching to finish my degree at ASU. After graduating in December of 2004, I applied to medical school and started down in Guadalajara, Mexico in August of 2005. I'm currently in my 4th year and luckily this semester I've been able to have some of my rotations here in the Valley. It has been wonderful because I was able to meet Kelli and my life has been absolutely perfect ever since.

A little about Kelli...

For those of you who are reading our page and wondering who I am, let me tell you a little about myself.
I was born and raised in North Phoenix and I attended Thunderbird High School. Upon graduating, my family moved to Mesa and I moved to Provo to attend BYU. I loved my years at the Y and I graduated with a degree in History and secondary education. I debated whether to stay in Utah or move back down to Mesa. I decided I wanted to be close to my family and was lucky enough to get a job teaching. I was hired at Higley High School and I currently teach World Studies and American Government. This is my third year at Higley and I have really enjoyed my students. Whenever anyone learns I am a high school teacher, they think I am crazy but it has to be one of the funnest most rewarding jobs. Besides, there are three main reasons I became a teacher...June, July and August! In my time off I love to travel, read, and be in the outdoors-camping, fishing, riding quads. This past summer however was the best yet..I was lucky enough to find Jimmy and I am so excited to spend forever with him.

My Ring-I love it!
