{Our love story}

Okay first a tid-bit on our backgrounds :)
Chase is the middle child of three.  Megan, Chase & Hunter who were raised by their parents Sherry & Dean Mainville.  He has lived in Arizona all his life and thinks it is the best place to live (even though it is stupid hot). 

Chase Also has a daughter named Capri Kelley Mainville who lives in Colorado with her mother Brooke Kelley.  Capri is now 2 and was born March 2, 2009.  She is such an amazing little girl who is very smart, talented and beautiful.  (She has brains like her father)  We try and arrange a trip to see her as often as we possibly can and currently are hoping to be there for Halloween this year.  Miss Capri is also our flower girl in our upcoming wedding and we cannot wait to see her and spend this special time with her as we become family.

I am the oldest of three. Stephanie (me), Ryan & Rachel and we were raised by our parents Sharry & Mike Nelson.  (Yes, our mothers have the same name ha kind of funny).  However, I was not raised in Arizona all my life even though I do claim this my home since I have lived here most of my life I actually was born in Missoula, Montana moved to Salem, Oregon then Salt Lake City, Utah.  Finally arriving in AZ when I was almost in the fourth grade.  Although I have never been in one school for longer than two years. 

Now how Chase & I met...Well honestly we have known eachother for quite sometime now.  Chase and I met back through some old friends/ex's etc. (I was even at the babyshower for Capri) He has attended some of my family functions (birthdays, holidays, etc.) After him being with his girlfriend on and off for so long and the same for me and my then boyfriend we both had broke away from the highschool relationships that were holding us back and my friend (Taylor Orlando) started begging me to just go and hangout with him but I honestly was not looking for another relationship.  After her pushing I agreeded that WE could go hangout with him but of course how do you think that went...last minute she cancels and he still wants to hangout so I still agreed (thank you Taylor, I do appreciate it obvi) Little did I or he know that that was just the beginning to our amazing relationship.  The only problem was that he was scheduled to be leaving for the US Airforce in only a few months and that honestly made me nervous to see where we would be.  All along we were both willing to see where it would take us even if it was only for a short time.  A few months passed and then came the tears when he had to go because I honestly fell in love with him so fast, I was shocked that I could have these kind of feelings for someone I had only been dating for a few months.  He also felt the same because on one of our dates home from the movies he says "well, I kinda..think..I love you."  (At this point I was thinking in my head umm did he just say he loves me or he thinks he loves me?! haha)  Later on our goodnight phone call it was official...this was love! Chase left for the airforce and letter after letter, month after month we grew stronger and marriage started to become a topic for discussion. We kept our want for marriage and a family to ourselves for so long so that we could do things the traditional way.  Chase wanted to ask my father for my hand in the proper, old fashioned kind of way and I wanted him to be here to celebrate telling our friends and family the great news!  After he was FINALLY home we picked a ring and it was official the next 13 months of planning started and our date was set 09-10-11.  It was perfect, little did I know though that planning a wedding for 13 months is just crazy ;) We are ready to be a family and be husband and wife.
