Our story

Our story..
         It all started on December 31st 2011. New years eve. Every year for New years girls spend a lot of time getting ready for the dance that our stake puts together. I helped all my friends get ready, and I was left a little short on time, but I put on my new dress and did my hair and makeup, as me and my friends were getting ready to run out the door, my mom insisted we take pictures.

I didn't expect this night to change my life the way it did. I went thinking "ahh this'll be fun! It's the start of the new year."

Upon arrival, I looked for my boyfriend (at the time) and my best friend! Before I found my boyfriend, I scanned the room for cuter boys, and one boy caught my eye. I didn't think I'd actually get to talk or see him again, but five minutes later I hear "Are all y'all stake dances this big?" (in a deep southern accent). I could barely make out what he was saying with the loud music, but it didn't matter because GOSH DANG HE WAS FREAKIN ATTRACTIVE! He went on introducing me to all of his friends that he brought, and I couldn't remember any of them, but it didn't matter at the time. Our conversation lasted about five minutes, because I knew I'd be seeing my boyfriend at any moment. I went off and had a good time, but I just couldn't get that cute boy out of my head!
(just so we are clear, I really didn't like my boyfriend at that time)
So I went about my night, and I was dancing with my friends, and slow song comes on, and of course NO ONE asks me.. until... that same deep voice that I couldn't get out of my head, says "do you wanna dance?" I smiled really big and said "YES!" (okay maybe not that enthusiastic, but in my head I was jumping up and down).  We danced two songs in a row, and in those two songs I found out that he lived THREE HOURS AWAY! what the heck? I was crushed, just kidding, but I was upset that I wouldn't be seeing his beautiful self again.
After midnight, and the dance came to a close me and my boyfriend were standing next to each other, and then out of no where Tyler and his group of friends came up to me. Tyler said "you should text me sometime" and hands me a slip of paper. Nothing was on it? ummm, I'm a little confused? I told him it was blank, and at that point i'm thinking, he probably gave his number out to every girl here. My boyfriend was pretty pissed that I didn't say anything about him, and he stormed off, but I didn't care. Tyler wrote his number down and gave it to me, and I wasn't planning on texting him.
I walked away and went and told my best friend what just happened, we laughed about it, and then told me they were having a pancake breakfast party. I asked my parents if I could go and they told me no, even though everyone was going. So here I was sitting completely by myself after the dance, and nobody is texting me, because they are all busy and having a good time, so I decided to text him.
YUP, I gave in.
~ 3 days later, I broke up with my boyfriend.. hehe

~ weeks past and Tyler and I became completely attached to our phones!

I would not say it was love at first sight...but I did know that I liked him

March 30th 2012 came and Tyler asked me, he got me a cookie cake that said "will you go out with me, I promise I'll be sweet?" of course I said yes!

April 2012 was just awesome, he told me he loved me for the first time!
One night we were talking on the phone and he gets really quiet, I asked him what was on his mind.
He told me that at the New Years dance he got this feeling that he'd meet his wife at that dance. He told me that he felt impressed to give me his number. He didn't give his number out to any other girl, which is a big deal for him;).
Gosh I fell so in love with him, that some real stuff right there.

You may wonder about the distance thing... but honestly if its worth it, you'll make it work!

Its been a little over a year that we started dating, and he is now serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Mexico city, Mexico.
~Yes, I'm waiting. (:
~Yes, I couldn't be happier

I'm a missionary girlfriend, and proud of it!
what's two years, to eternity?
