I WIN!

First Thing:

Sometimes, when I'm trying to fall asleep, I look at old pictures and reminisce.  I was reminded tonight how much I love my husband.  It made me laugh thinking about how we began, realizing we had little idea that a roll down a giant hill would bring us to a small apartment in TX.  For the next few posts, I will be reminiscing about our relationship and putting my thoughts here.  I feel it will really help with my creativity when it comes to Nate's one year anniversary gift (which will occur approximate 41 days from today).  I know the gifts are typically paper (but I'm so hoping for a tri-gold ring, which I will blog about later).

 

The first picture.  On our way to a bonfire with a church group.  We rolled down the hill together.  Before we left we sat on my couch talking about his life.

Our first hang out . . . alone (ooo la la), which is why Doozy's is our place.  Finding out we had the same views on the church and religion.  Staying out way too late with a a final project due the next day.

Fast forward a few months.

Followed by a trip to the zoo and Wheatfield's (special memories).  Followed by a walk, a very long 12 conversation (footsie in the Piper Pit) and an "I like you" at 4:30 in the morning.

The very first day we were officially dating.  Following a walk, another longer conversation, and our first public appearance as a couple.  (This picture is not what it seems).

 

After our first official date.  Before a long mission trip to Kentucky and some very long telephone conversations.
