it just occured to me, that this story will read backwards...hmmm. haha oh well.

back to my story:

"so where was I? oh oh oh okay. well first of all, there was some talk around the apartment about brittney's older brother. how'd he'd been hanging around, and janelle thought that we should go out. i kinda just laughed it off. Well, brit was having a little bit of a rough time, (i'll spare some of the funny details for her sake, since i'm pretty sure she might read this) and i come home one day from work and there is this like, tension in the apartment, all of a sudden this boy comes flying in and runs to the bathroom. In our aparatment, i really wasn't too concerned, just a bit curious i guess. and then, everyone's like "shhhh here comes brittney!" and here she comes, crying! she storms through the house, and out comes tyler. (i didnt' know him at this point) she is yelling at him, about something i can't quite make out. somethigna bout their dad i am thinking. Then tyler did the cutest thing, he was calming her down, and took her to get all the things she needed. they came back with tons of food, sheets, all sorts of stuff. he helped her put her room together. I wasn't there long, we didn't really have a connection, but just from what i observed, he seemed like a really sweet guy.

That same night (possibly the next) I came home from work and he was at our house, just hanging out. We start talking, and he asked me the ususal questions, where i was from, how old was i, that kind of thing. I told him i was from Alpine, and he started asking me if i knew so and so (if you've ever met tyler this is SO typical of him to do! hahaha he know's everyone) Turns out i did know a few of the people he knew. One in particular. There was this girl, that i shall leave her name out, and he was crushing on her! So, here we are, facebook-stalking her, and i'm pumping him up to ask her out! haha later on that night, it's starting to get later, and we've all had a fun night just haning out, and tyler see's my Office season. So, he starts asking who's gonna go to his place and watch office with him. he's asking janelle, kristina, and then he's asking me....without ANY hesitation i'm like, "sure, why not" haha little did i know..

So, we go over to his house, and yes he's living in a townhouse, and yes that's against BYU-I rules. anyways haha so he pop's the disk in, and i'm laying on his couch, and to my surprise, he plops down on the floor! I thought me might have thought i was maybe kinda cute. guess not. guess he really just wanted to watch the Office. haha

did you know that i always fall asleep watching movies at night. we'll watch movies, and i don't even get through the opening credits! So needless to say, i'm out. I'm still not sure what time he wakes me up and tells me that i can go upstairs and sleep in his bed, and he'll sleep down here on the couch. So, i stumble my way up the stairs, and am instantly asleep agian. about 6? am i'm wide awake. first of all i have to pee. really bad. second of all, that sneeky little bugger came and got itno HIS bed sometime in the night!! So, i'm trapped. I don't want to wake him up, but i seriously am going to pee my pants. wouldn't that be a great first impression. I lay there for a second doing an inventory of myself. I can almost guarentee my hair is looking far from hot. I can tell my day old mascara is all faked off, and onto my face, and my breath!! oh boy. I decide i ahve no choice, my bladder is going to force me to wake him up and find the bathroom! I slowly start to wiggle my way out, of course he wakes up and see's the mess i am. talk about awkward. So i run to the bathroom, do my business, grab his toothbursh (i'm disgusting, but desperate times calls for desperate measures) and brush away that nasty breath. He's sitting on his bed, probably wondering why on earth he's up so early, and why is this girl here, but i pounce on up next to him anyways...

next thing i know, first kiss. Innocent, cute, best kiss ever. then, he just says, "well i guess i better get you back to your apartment" Ha! i guess he was nervous? but at the time he seemed so....chop-chop. My next thought was "crap!" brittney may beat me up. haha So we go back to my apartment, and allmy roomates are up, to avoid any awkward conversations, we all decide to go to breakfast, and frontier pies. confusing i know haha. even mroe confusing was that meal. tlyer ordered the CHICKEN POT PIE. sick. sick. sick. OH, and the gentle men that he is, he let me pay for my own! So, our first date, was...haha oh funny. so funny.

okay, skip ahead a few days, and we're at our REAL first date. Leading up to this date, things were very easy. thats the best word to describe it. easy! There wasn't any jealousy, worrying "he didnt textme back!" "all he said was K" "should i call him?" none of that crap. which was SO rrefreshing for me!! coming straight out highschool basically, this was great. He stalked me a few times in the library, and then got the nerve to ask me on a date. ready for this? RAQUETBALL. haha BYU-I approved gym clothes and the wonderful goggles. yes, goggles. If you've ever played a game with me and tyler, when we're on opposite teams, well ha you know that it isn't ususally pretty. We're both just a tad bit competitive, which can lead to dirty looks, occasional swear words, and trash talking, a whole lot of trash talking. SO, for our first date to be raquetball, was interesting. He thoought he was pretty good see, and i'm a tennis player so i thought that this should be right up my alley. long, well acutally short story short, we didnt play for that long. We both didn't want a huge fight over whose keeping score right, or making up their own rules on our first date haha.

the rest really is history. after that first eventful office watching night, we just never stopped being together. I had never met someone so, perfect for me. Once i was sure, i never looked back. And I knew that he didn't either. there was such trust, and surness, that we never doubted eachother's feelings for one antother. it was always mutual. we never had to "DTR" we both just knew. ALhtough, when I said "i love you" first, i could've killed him. So, we're sitting there, it's all cute like, and i'm like "ty, i love you". he, bieng the jerk that he is says "what?" so i say it agian, a litlte louder. he saids "what?" this goes on 3 times!!! until i finally get it, and he busts up laughing. typical. That still makes me mad to this day!! how mean. haha anyways, he said it back, and that was that.

the next big step in our relationship, was. hahah you ready for this? if youve gone to BYU-I you'll understand, otherwise you'll just get a good laugh. Okay, Holding hands in devotional. hahaha ridiculous i know. but it's like making it public to the world, "we're together and we want everyone to know" it's rexburg's version of "shout it from the roof tops" hahaha funny. but it was importnat at the the time.

then the semester ended. and i was going home to alpine, and he was staying ehre for another semester of school....

gotta fold lauundry. be back later
