One Year Ago

*NOTE* I did start this on the 31st but because I had work I did not finish but I have now finished :)






I haven't posted in a long time which I will catch up on soon, but I had to make this post. For today was the day I had my first date with my now amazing husband. (Technically it was Memorial Day but it was the 31st of May so I count that as our first date.)


Let me start a few days ago.

May 28-29, 2010

This day I spent the night with my best friend Eva at her parents house in West Valley and I got a text from a number I didn't know. Which wasn't unusal since my phone that I had at the time fried itself every two weeks and I lost all vital information with no way to save it. So rather than doing the smart thing and asking who was texting me and tell them I lost all contacts in my phone I figured I would just get them to say something difinitive and figure out for myself who this was. So I asked what they were up to, they replied just at the Delta Hot Pots with my buds. So I figured it was a guy, the real question was which one. Since he said he was in Delta I thought it was this guy a dated a year ago, but then he said something about doing a Rodeo, which ruled out that one. So I thought he was a guy that I dated in High School which did prove to be true just not the one that I thought. So I gave him some sarcastic answers to questions and chatted from late Friday night to late Saturday night. I got home and told my parents that Skylar asked me out on a date. They asked when, he was going to school in Cedar, I responded that we didn't talk about it. I went back down stairs to put my dog to bed and I received another text from my would-be-solved mystery texter and he said I bet you are a good kisser. Now I know that I had kissed Skylar before now I was TOTALLY lost at who was texting me. I had the thought to check my facebook messages so I did and found Curtis Newman's message to me from January with his phone number it. I went up to my parents room and fell face first onto their bed. They asked what was the matter. I said ITS CURTIS NEWMAN!!! They said who is? The guy I said was Skylar is CURTIS NEWMAN!!! I told my mom I was going to tell him I couldn't go on a date with him, I was going to tell him no! My mom said you can't do that don't be mean just go on one date and you never have to go out again. I really did not want to, I told her no I won't go on a date with him, and I went to bed.

The next morning before Church my mom suggested that I invite him to our family BBQ the next day for Memorial Day. That way if things were awkward there would be other people around to talk to and such. I reluctantly agreed. I texted him and invited him over he said he'd love to. So with our date set I headed to church. I met with my Bishop to discuss my choice to serve a mission. I told my family that night at dinner I made my mom cry in a happy way. This would help keep Curtis at bay I was going to serve a mission.

Memorial Day. I woke up and started getting ready for the day. I texted Curtis to ask what his favorite color. He said it was Orange. Alise was dressing me and wanted me to catch his eye so she had me wear an orange shirt. I went downstairs and my dad was sitting at the kitchen table. He said he wanted to talk to me. He said that he had a promoniton that once I started hanging out with Curtis that we would be spending a lot of time together and I wouldn't serve my mission. I said you're telling me I am going to marry Curtis Newman!? He said I never said that I just said you would spend a lot of time together. I brushed it off and went about the day till Curtis came over. Everyone else came over and still Curtis hadn't shown up. I was beginning  to think he stood me up on our first date when he seemed so eager. When finally I was about to give up hope on him coming I got a text saying he was here. All of the sudden I had butterflies like you wouldn't believe. So I ran to the front door opened it and there stood this tall, very good looking, brown eyed, brown haired man. Not the boy I remember from High School he was different. I said Curtis! and hugged him then brought him in and he apologized for taking so long he had ridden his scooter down and it can't go on the freeway so he had to take the back roads to my house. I said that was ok I just thought you were standing me up, just teasing. :) I was worried about it being awkward still but actually everything went so well. Nothing was weird he fit right in and by the end of the night we were holding hands.

Today I am married to that man and I have never been happier. I love our life together. I love how hard he works to supports us and take care of us, he is so motivated and very helpful. He is my best friend, my world, my everything. I look back to before we started dating and I never would have thought I'd be where I am now. But, I can't imagine it any other way, I wouldn't change a thing about our life together (well except maybe the fact that Logan is FREEZING me to death!!!) it is perfect and I love being married.

I can't wait to spend the rest of all eternity with him and see all the things life brings us. I say bring it on we can handle anything!!!
