Sweet Memories

As we are sitting here tonight playing the Wii fit it is so cool to think that tonight is our two year anniversary from when we started dating . I was home from Byu Idaho and did not want to go to the young single adult dance I was tired of guys and did not want anything to do with them at this time but my dad told me I needed to go so I made the excuse that i did not know how to get there. Silly of me to say that because none the less my dad showed me the way the the fairgrounds in his van and I followed behind. I felt so dumb for following my dad to a dance. I was not in a good mood once I got there and started to have some fun I met up with a friend and hung out with her for a while.But still I knew nobody but  then on a fast song I looked forward and saw a handsome blonde guy coming toward me he smiled and I got a few goosebumps and then I realized who it was it was David Tanner . He smiled and it melted me  I said hi asked him about his mission which he replied enthusiastically then a slow dance came on and we danced. Even then looking back on it now it seemed so right dancing with him everything in the world seemed to be in it's place, I was sad when the dance ended. But then he asked me if I would like to go on a date I said I would love to and we planned the date for the fourth of january . Soon after I left and I had lots of butterflies in my tummy. When the dayof the date came I was so nervous and I changed my outfit at least five times. David picked me up in his exterra and was surprised to be riding in such a hot car. Well david took me to go rock climbing and mind you I hate hate heights I am terrified of them but I wanted to impress him so badly so I did it an I did it without wetting my pants thank heavens. we laughed and pretened to be peter pan as we swung from the ropes we climbed on top of one of the rocks you are not supposed to and I got stuck and was to scared to get down . he offered to catch me which i would have loved to if I weren't worried about squishing him well he giggled as he held out his arms as  I fumbled down the rock he caught me on the last part and we fell to the mat laughing. he then looked at me and asked me hey would you like to go see a movie and get some dinner? I was stunned in Idaho boys take you to a cheap movie then take you home . I wanted to spend more time with him so I said yes.  So we headed across the street to the theater and got tickets to see I am legend. the movie began and I don't do well with scary movies my hands sweat really bad but as it came to a scary part all of a sudden he grabbed my hand it automatically sent shivers down my spine like a bolt of lightning he looked at me then squeezed my hand reassuringly. Was this the guy i knew in high school the shy guy in band in choir he seemed still like himself but he had alot more courage. The next 2 hours I hardly paid attention to the movie. After the movie he took me down 25th street to the union grill where he held my hand I to the restaurant. My friend who was a waitress there seated us and I ordered fettucine of course with some ketchup on the side . He looked at me funny and this was the first weord ketchup experience he would have with me . When I went to the bathroom my friend asked if he was my boyfriend  I told her no but deep down I was wishing he was. When I got back  we talked and I laughed like I have never  laughed before, it seemed as if I had not truly laughed until I met him. I didn't want the evening to end. but soon it came and he took me home and met my family in our basement his smile lit up the room and my parents were already impressed by how I seemed to glow and by his overwhelming happiness and spirit. Then he said goodnight and I was so wanting him to kiss me  and little did I know that this  date would be the beginning of forever.So thanks dad for being inspired and forcing me to go to the dance.
