Traditions

• One day He learned that She had a love for flowers. She grew up gardening with her grandma and taking flower arranging classes in high school and college. One day she told him that She was the Yellow Rose of Texas :) He thought that was perfect since he had been wanting to give her a rose for the longest time! So one day while She was in English class bored out of her mind, he ran to the rose shop and totally surprised her with a beautiful rose with her favorite colored ribbon tied around it. She thought it was the most thoughtful thing ever and made her day a thousand times better! So from that week on, He has surprised Her with a single rose every week... but always at a different time when she was least expecting it... Keeping their  romantic side fun, always :)

The Proposal Flowers :)

•  Since they started dating, Brent & Crystal made the temple their date night every week. Sure they had other dates throughout the week, but they always knew they would make it to the temple every Thursday or Wednesday night together :) She's excited to be able to go to more areas inside the temple now more often :)
• Brent served his mission in Brazil so he knows Portuguese, and She grew up for 5 years in Venezuela so She knows spanish. It works out pretty well because they can actually understand each other pretty well. So another tradition they started to do was read the Book of Mormon together every night in PORTUGUESE!!  It's been an adventure, Brazilians sure pronounce everything differently than Spanish people. But Brent is patient with Her and helps Her learn the words one by one. So maybe by the time they go to Brazil next year for the World Cup She'll know how to speak some Portuguese!
