Get your Motors Running...Head out on the Highway...

That is the plan of Jennifer Collen Johns and her husband Cordel (Cory) Johns when their kids are a bit older. They want to get on a couple of Hogs and tour the country. Motorcycles, that is. They would love to take their family on a biking adventure. Currently they have one son. His name is Rowan and he is 9 months old. Jenn and Cory have been married since August 12th 2005.

Like most of you married folks they have a story. But in the story of their lives together starts in a different spot for each of them. Cory remembers meeting his wife at an activity she isn't so sure they met at. She has a distinct impression of their first meeting. (Which was weeks after he says they met!) But, they both agree on what their first "official" date was. Jennifer was saying how she wanted to watch all 3 of the first Star Wars movies in one sitting and Cory heard this and invited her to do just that. During episode 4 (aptly titled "A New Hope") the were sitting on opposite sides of a 3 cushion couch. By the time the Empire Strikes back started there was not longer a whole cushion between them. Before Return of the Jedi they left and went to an Indian restaurant for dinner. They returned and watched the 3rd movie and knew they had someone special....

They dated for just over a year. Cory made the ring he proposed to Jenn with. (Ask her to see it.) They both make jewelry now. They were married in the temple in Bountiful Utah which is where Cory is from. Jenn comes from Logan and sure misses the seasons. They know how to dance and love it! They had danced together a few times before that first date at clubs where they showed off their swing and waltz skills.

Jenn went on a mission to Tallahassee, Florida. She is a registered nurse who is currently working as a full time mom. She is a teacher in the primary where she gets to teach the 5 & 6 year olds about the gospel.
