It's been so long guys.
Well, I am engaged. Ha. Yep. Engaged to be MARRIED! You remember that guy I talked about in the last post? Well, he caved. We're getting married in AUGUST! I can't believe it either. But it's something I know to be the only thing I need/want right now, at this time in my life.
I have always been "more mature" according to people I have come in contact with throughout my life, and I believe them. I know that a lot of things have happened in my life that have lead me to this point. Such as all the people who have passed away, break-ups, make-ups, and all the sorta "things" I had with all the guys previous to my future companion, I know that all of this was something I needed to do to lead me to David and was something I did right. I was either broken up with or the heart breaker for a reason, but for this post I thought I would tell you all some stories about David and I.
The first time I saw David was in science class I walked in a bit late (cause only cool people come late right? Maybe I wasn't as grown up as I thought I was haha) but there weren't very many places open because the room was packed, but I sat down next to him and this kid I recognized from my ward at my church, I had to kinda climb into the row, and the first thing he said was "Sorry, there isn't much room" and then we had to talk to our neighbors a little bit and at first I thought he was a little uptight. He paid attention so hard that I thought he was special at first, but then I realized he was pretty great, and was just really wanting to do well in this class. He was wearing a Guatemala lanyard around his neck and the only thing I really remembered about him was that his name was David (Cause I had a friend named David) and that he served in Guatemala on his mission. The reason I remembered he served in Guatemala was because he said Guatemala so funny. I also noticed his eyes. So gorgeous. They didn't have a black outline on the pupil so it was just sky blue into the white. So mesmerizing. I believe that was the time I first started thinking about him. And then the next class period I sat next to him again, I have already told you guys about the incident when I gave plasma and went to class, that was the first time I walked out with him we talked about him and his cousins accidents when they went and gave plasma, it was crazy stuff. Class was always fun with him, I didn't always go, but that semester was a hard and crazy one for sure.
When I went home to go to my brother's funeral, I had told him in class before here's how it all went down: he said "What are you going home for?" I think to myself...not sure if I know him enough to tell him that my brother is in the hospital and is going to die...but I was tired of not telling anyone, and I knew that he would be really cool about it. So I said: "My brother's going to die." His face was priceless. Such a big bomb to just drop on someone. But I am glad I did. He then said: "I'm sorry" And that was it. So I asked for his number to text him and ask what happened in class I texted him once while I was gone, and he promptly replied with the answer to my question and that was it, he didn't ask about how I was doing or anything just answered my question, so I thought he didn't want to really didn't want anything to do with me after that.
I was dating/"having-a-thing" with a guy at the time (you all read about him too), but David didn't know about him till later. (and he wasn't too happy about him either), but he was very kind and waited as long as I needed him to. I think he might have waited forever...well maybe I couldn't string him along forever, but he was very patient in my process in the dating relationship we had. During the time I was kinda dating this guy though, David was very persistant I think he also wanted me to think he had many people at his disposal, because I remember the first time we hung out after class I invited him over to my apartment to have mac and cheese (the only thing I ever made then) and I asked him what he did all the time and he promptly replied "Oh, I hang out with my roommates and we do a ton of fun things, we go on a ton of dates." I was thinking in my head...oh, well glad you snuck that last part in there. I was worried you didn't ever hang out with girls. Not. Goodness. I was kinda stand offish after that. I was thinking well he's got lots of game so I don't need to be to serious about this guy.
One thing I do remember about David though in the beginning was that he really did light up when he saw me. Sometimes I had to kick out the happiness when he would come to class, because he was listening to music or trying to "act cool" and not talk to me, so I would ask him how he was doing or something along those lines, and I think he was always trying to ask me something of more substance, cause I feel like he would just be sitting there racking his brain to think of something to say and then ask me something very nice, but I could only respond with one word answers and that was it. In class once, we had been hanging out a little bit more at this time and I guess he had seen me with one of my guy friends and thought it was the guy that I had been dating, boy was he mad! He even stood me up, and welched on a bet we had made before (he owed me dinner after that at pineapple grill). But when I went to class I knew he was very angry...but I wasn't completely sure why, but when I showed up he didn't really talk to me and then about half way through class he leaned over and wrote in my notebook if I would like to go to devotional with him later. I, of course, said yes. But he is just funny like that. I love that funnyness.
The first time I went to devo with him I was with Mal and he brought his roommate Jed, who incidentally was in my Book of Mormon class and I remember him being so...together. Always seemed so attentive and so happy to be there. We were in the very front row and it felt so good to be there with him. When it was done I knew he wanted to talk more, but his roommates just left him so he had to go, but after it he CALLED ME and asked if I would go to the masquerade with him that weekend I unfortunately was was still being an idiot and dating my ex and was going to Utah with him that weekend so I wouldn't be able to attend with him, but after he called I was freaking the flip out! I ran upstairs and had to tell someone! So I woke up my buddies in three different apartments. I could tell that he was very sad about the fact that I said no, but he didn't give up. I think that is one of the reasons why I fell in love with this boy in the first place. He wanted me so badly that he would wait.
When I had finally had enough of my ex and said yes to hanging out with him, I was actually just on a "break" with my ex and wasn't really looking for anything, but I knew that David was lots of fun and I would have a good time. So I told him we should hang out sometime on a text finally and he said "he was thinking the same thing" (I was so excited when I read that text, and I was very happy that one of us had the guts to finally say it!) But anyway, we went to the Taco Bus and then took the food up to the MC and ate it in the crossroads, and all I remember talking about was him. We semi talked about his ex before the mission and I remember hearing that she never really just stopped and that she might still be there. I absolutely hated hearing that! But after we went down to Kiwi Loco and got fro yo and then walked over to his apartment and on the way there we met his roommate and he asked David to go give his gf at the time a blessing, of course he went (I mean how perfect right?) So we did that, I think that was one of the first time I started to fall in love David. (I'm not sure this was all in the same night...I'm pretty sure it was though haha) but after that we went to the stadium and just walked and talked and he told me that his middle name was Ernest even though it was this weird mix up and I from then on I thought his middle name was Ernest for months till finally he told me it was James but I was very happy with that night he told me about some of the things he did with his friends. I did a cartwheel on the top of the stadium steps. When we went down I swore I saw a parachute thing and I yelled at him in the middle of his story and started running after it and yelled him to come with me, but it wasn't there...I'm not crazy people. I promise. But after that we gathered a bunch of leaves and we recorded me "jumping" into them even though I really just ran and stepped in them. It was funny. Then we headed up to the Smith building and found a classroom and drew all over the chalkboard weird pictures and talked about life. He told me he wanted to be a dentist and told me a story about dentist's visting Guatemala and how much he wanted to do that. I remember thinking that that was so amazing. I loved hearing that and it made me fall in love with him.
I remember when I finally told him about Mckennon, he was so upset. I have no idea why, but it made me so happy that he cared so much to be upset with me. I told him in the I-center, and he was so angry that I went to see the movie skyfall with him that night and not hang out with him. I regretted it the minute I told him cause I realized how much I truly did love him...
Our science teacher was insane and wouldn't really teach anything relating to science, well he would for about 20 mins of the class and then the other 40 mins he would show funny videos or talk about his wife and three daughters and how the would shoot things. It was always so funny to us. He would also say "Key in on this" all the time. We use to make fun of him for it. I think that teacher brought us together very well. I should thank him one day. I loved David in that class.
I never regret anything I did with David. The first time I broke up with this poor guy I knew that it was for a good reason...I wasn't over my ex and was struggling with things from my past I took him to Jimmy Johns and we sat there for like 2 hours just talking about it. I remember watching him walk away that night...something inside of me knew that it was for the best and that I was going to miss this so much. But I also knew that this wasn't the end (mostly cause I would see him in class) I eventually went back to him. I not sure how we got back together...but the second time I broke up with him was worse. I remember thinking: " oh my gosh I could marry him..but no way and I am going to any time soon. Never ever." I broke up with him after the christmas devo in the Icenter (lots of things happened there for us) but I was sitting out of the the third level and he was so upset, he cried. He asked if I could just walk around with him outside after so that he didn't punch something on the way home. and so I walked with him, we talked and I seriously thought we were just going to be friends at this point but we wandered into the married housing and I sat on a bench and he asked if he could kiss me and I, of course, said yes. I loved him right there too.
Oh our first kiss! Hehe I had told him that he wasn't allowed to kiss me till he asked me on a real date and he didn't want to ask me of a real date till he could really do something special. but I remember I was getting so tired of waiting that finally I said that that friday night what we were doing was a "date" so we went and watched White Christmas and he was kissing me all over my face but not my lips cause that wouldn't be the right place for our first kiss or something so instead I think we walked around for a while until we got to my lounge and I all I remember is sitting down on the same couch and knowing it was coming...and HOLY CRAP was it awful. It took like thirty years for us to actually kiss and when we did it was slobbery. It was kinda symbolic of our relationship till that point though. hahahahaha I remember calling my mom after and saying...yeah not so sure. But we definitely got better, that and I didn't care...I loved him anyway.
One of my favorite memories of David and I was when we were waiting to kiss each other and I always walked him about 200 feet from my apartment in the amphitheater thing and we always messed around for like 20 mins before he finally went home, but I remember once we danced under the stars and he put on pandora on his phone and we danced. Oh my gosh how badly I wanted to kiss him there..but it wasn't time yet. He hadn't asked me on a date yet. I loved him so much that night though.
Another thing I remember him doing was bringing me things. In the beginning he brought me cinnamon rolls, I think once was for my brother, and another time it was because he either lost a bet, or I asked for them. But I was always so happy to get them, I never ate them though (my roommates usually did) I was happy to get them because it showed me how much he truly did love me. Another time he brought me an origami flower to ask me on our first "date" since I had never gotten flowers from a guy he wanted it to last, I still have it. Oh my gosh I love him so much.
I had this bad time in my life during that time and I remember hating fairy tales and not believing in them at all...but David and I would always disagree on it and he would say that he believes in them and all I could think about was Sam from the movie Charley and I was just so in awe that a man could think that. I remember it gave me back some of my fantasy world that I loved so much.
I know that David and I have many more memories in store for us, and some of them aren't going to be as pleasant as these I have just told you, but I'm not going to blog about those, because those aren't the ones that matter. All that matters is that David and I are going to get married and we will be married forever. I love my fiance. More than I have any one in my entire life. I hope he and I can always cherish each other. I also know that if we do, we will be set for what's in store for us. And I am grateful for him. Very.
