3 months after Ali moved here she met Dalen. They had both recently been to Costa Rica and connected talking about their trips. Dalen was a member of the church and Ali wasn’t. Ali went with Dalen to church (an ASU singles ward!) a few times. She was very busy with her residency which required long hours of her. Dalen went back to Costa Rica and their dating life ceased for a while. Ali focused on her career & her goal of completing her residency. One day a friend asked her to take the missionary discussions with her. She really felt she was on the slow track to learning the gospel. 4 discussions took her a year. She initially agreed to take the lessons out of a curiosity.
Dalen came back home from Costa Rica and they started dating. Ali finished her residency. He baptized her a member of the church in April of 2008. Ali and Dalen were in Costa Rica again last August when he asked her to marry him. They were married in January of this year. They decided to stay in Arizona since all of Dalen’s family is here.
Ali currently works at an office across from our ward building. She enjoys outdoor activities. She likes running, & hiking. Her and her hubby have even done some ½ marathons together. They have a little doggie named Aggie.
