Hitting the Mark

Our first picture together :)
(crappy picture of me...but it is what it is. Ty looks great! oh...and the outfit...it was halloween. Ty did not participate in the fam party. lol...just picked me up. Hence no outfit for him.)

One year…and only one word comes to mind to describe it… WOW.
Yes, wow is right!
For one…I didn’t know that anyone could put up with me for a year.
Here is what Tyler has dealt with in just the last few weeks…
Me locking myself out of my apartment.
Me forgetting stuff that we need for school.
Me loosing my keys.
…oh and if seeing me every night and dealing with my stupid moments then isn’t enough…we’re now in school together. 4 classes of ME! ya, me and school are not friends so if you see him you should tell him good luck because I wouldn’t want to be at school with me! I’m sure glad he is though because he makes class lots better. I never knew how funny he was til I heard all the stuff he says under his breath in class. He’s a crack up ….anyway back to the subject.
… just last night I locked myself out AGAIN. And the worst part is I didn’t even leave my doorstep.
I KNOW I test his patience… I think I test my own patience so I just am glad he is still around.
Technically we haven’t been together for a whole year…I met Tyler a year ago today but I figure it counts…because once I met him and I knew I liked him…and I spent lots of time with him from there on out.
So here is our story…
First of all…Tyler’s friend/roomie just so happened to know my friend which was awesome because I don’t think we would have met otherwise…even though our friends didn’t do any of the work.
So September 8, 2008 is the first time we hung out. And it was a rather random night.
I had talked to Tyler for all of 5 minutes…if that and his friend’s dad came downstairs (his apartment was in his friends basement.) and asked if Ty would come help him give the friend a blessing. So he did just that. It was SO awkward for me cuz I didn’t really know Tyler and now I was going to go sit in on a blessing for some kid I didn’t know at all with his family. Very uncomfortable…and SO random!
Anyhow once that awkwardness was over we went back downstairs and talked for a bit. His friend later joined and I pretty much was booted from the conversation. They served in the same mission and started going on and on about the mission and sharing mission stories. I’m not even lying. It was kinda funny really. Kind of unusual first hang out but it was funny. I had a good laugh.
Now you all are probably wondering why on earth I came back? Too be honest I’m not really sure why. Lol. But something about him was just fun and full of life so I did.
Why he wanted to see me again? This is still unknown to me…because according to him I gave him the most pathetic “dead fish hug” ever when I left…but let’s face it…he was doing good to get a hug since he had been giving priesthood blessings and talking up the mish. A missionary handshake may have been more appropriate…lol. In spite of all the randomness though, I started hanging out with him more and more. The second hang out was Way Fun I thought. And he didn’t go off about the mission at all. We stuck to frozen yogurt from Spoon Me, a nice chat, a jam session is his car with his buds, and pizza, and a movie. (ok, I lied he did talk about the mission a little, but it was short and sweet.) The first date was a week from our first hang out and it was super awesome. Took me to my favorite place to eat….brownie points for him…and from then on out…we just kept on dating. ☺
Thanks for a great year Tyler!!!

Love you.

PS…he scored more brownie points tonight, because he got me the cutest 80’s tshirt at the Blink 182 concert. He’s awesome!

Happy Birthday to Me!

So Sunday was my birthday and usually hate having my birthday on a Sunday, because it limits what I can do, but this year I was stoked. am SO busy with school and work that it was nice having it on a day where I didn't have anywhere to be other than church.

It was a great day. I went with Tyler to hear his mom speak in their family ward and then off to his single adult ward to hear his little sister, Kristin speak. Immediately following that Ty came back with me to my house for dinner. We of course, had one of my favorites, Steak. It was yummy. We just hung out for the rest of the day and relaxed. I got some great gifts from Ty and also from my family and friends. My friends who were all single and out playing on Valentines evening dedicated a photo album to me on FACEBOOK and also dropped some very STRANGE gifts off to me at 1 am on my birthday. A Mary (as in Jesus' mother) doll that talks. She tells the entire Christmas story I think and its pretty funny, the also got me a Hannah Montana t-shirt which is probably the best gift I've ever received haha... and some other very random presents. Tyler owns about 35+ watches (as of lately I think he's bought a new one almost everyday) and so surprise surprise....he finally bought me one. Its Pink! My favorite and it is super cute and along with it, a Volcom shirt...in his words...I need more boyish clothes.

I appreciated spending it with my family and Ty. I also loved that Monday was a holiday and my amazing manager aka my aunt gave me the day off to continue to celebrate my birthday. I went shopping with my mom in the morning, then to lunch with my parents at Jason's Deli, one of my favs, and then we went and bought me a new bed and tv! I'm pretty spoiled I think!!! And to top the day off we ended it with dinner at Los Hermanos with myparents, grandparents, and Ty! I am one lucky girl. Thanks everyone for making turning 20 so great!
