The First Time We Met....

Petey and I met for the first time on February 25, 2010. My friends Alyssa, Laura, Desiree, and Bailey needed somewhere to watch the Utah State vs. Hawaii basketball game that was in Hawaii. The only way to watch that game was to buy it via Hawaii's website and stream it online. Alyssa, Laura, and Desiree had a group of Aggie-fan guy friends that said that they would purchase the game and that we could watch the game too. When we got to the boy's apartment we met a bunch of guys; Petey, Ryan, Jason, Colin, and Nate (maybe even more people, but I can't remember :) ) My first thought of Petey was that he was really funny and just a easy going guy...just what I've always wanted)! After this initial meeting my girlfriends and I started to hang out with those guys a lot. At first I only thought of Petey as a friend, but that changed after about a month-ish. My girlfriends and I would always joke with Petey saying that we were his mistress, booty call, wife, etc....I always said that I was his fiancee, which a year later turned out to be true :) !!!! Petey and I started to text a lot, which consisted of us mostly joking around with each other. Everything started to change around my birthday in April. We had started to text a lot more and our conversations had turned into more serious ones. For my birthday he gave me chap-stick, gum, and the movie Sherlock Holmes (which I told him I had wanted...what a good listener...it was so nice of him to get me anything at all)! I knew then that he actually listened to what I had to say and that he was starting to genuinely care about me, and I was feeling the same way towards him. Our first kiss was about 2 weeks after my birthday and that story will be posted NEXT TIME....

Welcome :)

I've decided that it was finally time to give into the blogging world. My sister-in-law helped me set up a blog last summer, but that was the end of it. We set me up with a blog, and I haven't been on it since. So....since my life has changed a lot recently with getting married and turning into a grown up :) I've decided to give blogging another go! I've also wanted to learn how to blog since I am terrible at writing in a journal. It's a fun, cute, and creative way to write/share my thoughts, tell stories, and tell about our new journey as husband and wife! We've loved every second of being married and we can't wait to see what the future holds for us!! I think my first few posts are going to be about our firsts as a couple: when we first met, first date, first kiss, first I LOVE YOU, first time meeting each other's family, the proposal, and our wedding day. I want to write down as much about our firsts as I can remember, because I don't want to look back in 20 years and not remember the details because I never wrote them down. So welcome!!! Welcome to my online journal, my scattered brain, and the story of newlyweds :)
