You know the saying love at first sight? I never really was a big believer. Can that really happen? Don't you kind of need to get to know someone before you start throwing out words like love? But then I met Scott. I wouldn't say it was love at first sight, but it was pretty darn close. Shall we say obsession at first sight? Our story didn't happen over a long period of time. It wasn't full of games or back and forth or waiting. But Scott and I were made for each other- why wait?
From the moment Scott came into my life, I knew he was different. I fell faster and harder than I ever thought imaginable. To the outside viewer it may seem like we fell in love over a short period of time, but time really wasn't even a concept to us. It was just me and him, and nothing else mattered. I never really had to decide if I wanted to date him or if I wanted to marry him, because it just felt so natural to move into those next steps. And (thankfully) he was always on the same page. The day I married him I didn't think I could love him anymore than I already did. But I have fallen more and more in love with him each day after. I truly without a single doubt believe he is my soul mate. And every day I am in awe of how perfectly perfect he is.
*********************************
Scott and I met on August 26th 2012. My roommates and I went to a concert to meet up with my roommate's boyfriend and some of his friends. (That's a mouthful isn't it?) I wasn't actually thrilled to be going. It was the day before school started, I had to be at work at 6am, I was really tired and wanted nothing more than to go to sleep early. But after some convincing, I decided to go.
Once we got there I noticed a cute tall blonde boy standing with my roommate's boyfriend. Fun Fact: I actually had swore off boys for the semester THAT MORNING. I was just really tired of the whole dating thing and felt like I needed time to focus on myself. But of course when I saw Scott, I instantly regretted that decision. But then I thought to myself "hey you didn't give up flirting, just dating" and sat down next to him. We chatted the whole time, and hit it off like never before. It sounds cheesy but it was like we were the only two people in the room.
*we apologize to the girl sitting in front of us who kept giving us dirty looks for talking and laughing throughout the whole performance. If you are somehow reading this maybe knowing that you were there for the start of an eternal relationship will make you a little less angry?
We texted that night and all day after. I remember talking to my sister the next morning and telling her about this amazing boy I had hit it off with the night before but wasn't sure where it would go. It probably would just be another good story to tell. It wasn't just a story. Scott waisted no time and asked me out two days later.
Where he displayed his thriftiness by spending a whopping $3 total on our first date. And held my hand later that night.
We had our first kiss after a night of Comedy Sportz, an improv show that anyone who is anybody in Provo has frequented more than once. During the show one of the "players" came over and asked if Scott and I were dating and I got so nervous because we hadn't really had the conversation yet (BECAUSE I HADN'T EVEN KNOWN HIM FOR A WHOLE WEEK...told you... fast) so I blurted (ok yelled) "NOOOO" right as Scott was saying "yes." Whoops. Luckily that night we had that conversation and sealed our decision to date exclusively with a kiss. Pretty much from then on we were inseparable.
(The first photo ever taken of us... and of course Scott just had to be wearing a jersey)
Over the next few months our relationship only continued to grow. We learned how to like each other interests. Ok mostly I learned to like UNC and basketball.
As time went on we realized we couldn't live without the other. You know what that means.
We filled the spring with hanging out with friends
And wedding planning
Which really was lots of cake tasting and getting our picture taken.
We were apart for the summer but Scott made a few trips to San Diego to come see me.
And then finally after the longest summer ever we were reunited and SO ready to get married.
August 17th 2013 was the day we became forever.
Aka a giant party with all of our friends that I would die to go back in time and relive.
Fast forward a wonderful THREE years of marriage and four moves, and we are somehow even more crazy about each other than we were on that day. Sometimes it is just so mind blowing to look back and see how we got to where we are now. And how much more is yet to come.
