Okay... so if I remember right we left off on the triple date... LAME! Hated that night. But onto better and brighter things! Well Scott slowly started coming over to Aaron and Woody's to hang out with all of us. There was one Saturday I had gone with my mom over to our storage unit and ended up rolling my ankle while moving stuff in it. It hurt so bad! But we laughed so hard because I fell to the ground and ended up getting a fishing hook stuck to my bball shorts. They were mesh so this stupid random hook got stuck in them and took me forever to get out of my shorts. It was really funny to us at the time... well it still is... my mom and I still laugh about it. But anyway, I hurt my ankle and we were supposed to be getting a group together to play bball. Which meant me showing off my skills to Scott. But I can't with a hurt ankle! So I was hanging out with Aaron and totally bummed. I went anyway of course. Then Scott convinced me to still play even though I couldn't run. He'd just pass me the ball and I'd shoot. I had an on day too because I was scoring like crazy! And I could hardly move! It was amazing. The things I do for a cute boy :)
Well there was a Friday night we were hanging out at Aaron's... like always.....and we were hungry. So we were gonna go with some people to grab food but this one girl took forever to get over there so Scott and I drove to Wendy's to pick something up. We came back and ate and talked. I remember thinking how perfect he seemed to me. We kept saying the EXACT same thing. It was like jinx every few minutes! I kept thinking okay... this guy and I are so much alike. I wish he liked me! Well he was talking about this thing he had to do for a class. He had to go observe art at this bldg in SLC and write a paper on a piece of art. I was telling him how I love museums and things like that....::hinthint::.......and he being the smart man he is, invited me to go in with him. Of course I said yes. I can't ever say no to that cute face. So he said he'd call me the next day and gave me an approximate time. So I took 2 hours to shower and get ready.... yeah... 2 hours....then I started getting really nervous. I hadn't heard from him and I got back into my CA mentality where the guys are jerks. I thought... oh, he's probably gonna call and bail on me and I spent all this time getting ready. My heart stopped when my phone rang. I was so nervous to pick it up. So I'm just waiting to hear..."Oh I'm not gonna go today..." or something like that but alas, what did I get? A "Can I come pick you up at ....." Oh yeah, I was so ready! So he came and got me and we headed into SLC. I found out that we were picking up his friend that had the same assignment. I got to meet some of his buddies and thought they were really nice. His friend that came with us was Chad. I ended up having quite a bit in common with Chad too. Especially when we both pulled out our Aqua Cadet cards (#3402!) Scott thought I'd end up dating him or something. Kinda funny. But I had fun with him out there. Then we got a phone call when we were headed back to Tooele. It was from Aaron who preceded to laugh when he heard we were together.... I think he saw it coming.
So we get back in town and are trying to figure out what to do. So we revert back to our Napoleon Dynamite knowledge. We go to the dollar store and buy some string and action figures to drag out the car window around town. It was so cheesy and lame but we had so much fun. I even rocked out to 80s music in the car for him. We had a blast that night and I had never felt so comfortable around someone before. That night Scott stayed over at Aaron's and the guys were gonna do a breakfast the next morning before church. So I headed over the following morning and was so excited to see Scott there. We ate breakfast and were getting ready to head over to church. Scott was teaching the young men in his home ward and had been attending there but this day I convinced him to come with us to the young adult ward until he had to go teach. So I thought I was pretty hot stuff walking in with this super cute boy. I also noticed some of the other girls eying him. I just wanted to say "back off! He's with me!" But of course I didn't. Then during the meeting he kinda put his arm around me. It was more like on the back of the chair but I didn't care... I was so excited at this point. Well the time came for him to go to his home ward and stuff but we figured we'd meet up again later at Aaron's house.
I could not wait to get over and see Scott. So I went over there and we just hung out and watched movies. I can't remember all of them but one for sure was "So I Married An Axe Murderer." It was pretty much the greatest night of my life at that point. He held my hand and I leaned my head on his shoulder. We cuddled. He was just so cute and so sweet. Once we watched like 3 movies I had to get going home to get to bed for work the next day. This part's good! So he walks me out to my car like a gentleman. He always was....of course things are a little different since we're married and much more comfortable but he was the best boyfriend a girl could ever have. So back to the story....he walks me to my car and at this point I'm not really sure what's gonna happen. Hug goodbye? We both knew we really liked each other. Then I hear the cutest words ever uttered from a guy's mouth......"Can I kiss you?" Maybe its just me but I thought it was so sweet of him to ask me first. I can't remember my answer... at this point I was too excited to think about anything.... but it was along the lines of "yes." Now at this point I had only kissed 2 guys before. Both were really awkward first kisses and one wasn't bad after that but the other could've been better. So I'm freaking out thinking that with him being as hot as he is, he's probably kissed lots of girls and had a few girlfriends. I was amazed he was still single. How lucky did I get? So we move in for the big FIRST KISS! And let me tell you.....it was the most perfect kiss I've ever had in my life. As lame as this might sound... we even re-created our first kiss and practiced it when for when we kissed each other at the alter. It wasn't some nasty overly passionate kiss. It was a simple 3 kiss kinda thing... I can't really explain it but it was amazing. He is seriously the best kisser ever.
So I went home on cloud 9. I couldn't believe that the cutest, sweetest guy in the world just kissed me. I was in awe. Well the next day we went to family home evening at the institute together. Holding hands and all. Then we went to Macey's and messed around in the Halloween aisle putting on scary masks and taking pics. In our bedroom we have a pic from that night. His brother Aaron had asked if we considered ourselves official and talked about it while driving in the car. We decided to count the day we had our first kiss as the official day we started dating. Which was October 16, 2005. From that day on we have not gone a day without seeing each other. We would always hang out after we got off work. He had to work at like 5am so he'd call me and wake me up and we'd talk on the phone then (you can tell I was so ga ga over him then because I didn't mind him waking me up so early to talk...hahaha). Then he would have to leave for school about the same time I'd leave for work so he'd come by and see me off in the morning. When it would snow he'd brush off my car for me. He really was the best boyfriend. He'd actually take me out on dates. We'd go bowling or see movies. We'd take our trips to Temple Square. There was even a period of time I got really sick. I couldn't be on my parent's health insurance because I was 21 and couldn't qualify for it at work because I hadn't been there 90 days yet. Luckily I had the money but Scott took me to urgent care only to find out they could only treat my symptoms. Love the viral things I get. It wasn't strep but I had all the symptoms. I had a horrible fever and coughed like crazy and had the worst sore throat. It took me a month to get back to myself. But the week I was off work he would spend every minute he could with me. He even kissed me when I was sick! I had a bf that wouldn't get within 3 feet of me when I was really sick on Christmas...yeah... glad that guy dumped me. And Scott never even got sick. He was so sweet.
So yeah..... I think I'm gonna end the story there for now.... this will probably be a 4 part thing. I'll do another post when its been 5 yrs since we were engaged (Feb 3 2006) and then our 5 year anniversary (May 13, 2006) Hope you guys don't mind reading about how crazy I am about Scott. I just never knew I could love somebody so much and can't believe my husband is so cute! Heavenly Father truly blessed me by sending this boy my way. I must have done something good ;)
