From the very beginning...

Most of you probably know our story, but I feel inclined to share it, as this is the first post on the new blog :)



When I started work at the movie theater, I tended to work with all the same managers. One day while working, a guy named Max (who started the same day I did) came in to a movie with his super hot friend. All of my coworkers were talking to them, so I asked someone who the hot friend was (no, I did not use those exact words) and they told me he was a manager at the theater. Then, one glorious day in May, I finally got to work with Brandon. I thought he was so cute, and he was way funny, not to mention super flirtatious. After working with him a few times, we started texting. I always texted him first, but he always responded quickly. One day in June, we decided that we would start dating on a certain day (as a joke), but when that day came, I was headed home to Boise, so we called it off haha. From then on, he was always addressed as "best friend."

We continued texting, and one time I even made cookies for him since he let me go to a movie. One night, we were finally going to hang out, but he told me he had to go to Brigham City because his uncle got locked out. That, might I add, was not true. He later told me he was nervous because I was a sorority girl and we didn't know each other that well, but really I know it is because he was overwhelmed by how awesome I am :) Anyways. One night when my family was in town, Brandon asked me if I wanted to hang out, but I couldn't. Later that week though, while sitting in class one day, he texted me and asked if I wanted to go get food. So I, being the smitten girl I was, left class ten minutes early to go to Costa Vida with my manager....super weird, but hey he was cute, and everyone knows I can't say no to Costa. We sat at Costa Vida and talked for two hours, then continued to text long after that.

The next day, he asked me to go on a late night/overnight adventure with his brother and some friends up into the mountains. We couldn't leave until midnight because Brandon was working, and since I'm an old lady (no offense grandmas) and go to bed at like ten, I drank an energy drink at 11:30. We never did make it to our destination because of all the snow, but I was wired from my energy drink and not quite ready to go home at 12:45. So we went back to Brandon's house and he and I watched How to Train Your Dragon, and we can both proudly say that we watched the entire thing. We texted pretty much all day every day for the next two weeks, and hung out every chance we had. We didn't necessarily like each other, but we sure did enjoy each other's company. On November 11, we went for a drive up into the canyon, and had a long long talk. That night we talked about work, life, us dating, and scariest of all, marriage. We didn't talk specifically about marrying each other, just what we looked for in a future spouse, but after that talk, I knew I was going to marry him. We officially became boyfriend and girlfriend that night, and I was pretty much beside myself.

We had a lot of good times, and we definitely had our fair share of arguements, but he quickly became my best friend, and the only person I ever wanted to hang out with. I left Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations early just to get back to Logan so I could see him again, and put off homework (a lot) to spend time with him. But it still just seemed like we didn't actually like each other, we both just needed someone to hang out with.

Then January came. We experienced a time in our life together that I like to call "The Best Worst Weekend Ever." I won't go into details, but ever since then, things changed. We were actually dating because we liked each other. Then, a month later, we started talking about marriage, and two and a half months after that we were engaged. One time before we were engaged, Brandon asked if this summer was too early to get married, and at the time, it was far too early. We decided that summer of 2012 would be good. Then changed it to November of this year, and then six weeks ago we decided to move it up, and honestly that was one of the best decisions of my life. In eight days I get to marry my best friend, who started out in my life simply as the hot manager. I couldn't ask for anything more :)
