So I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!
We both went to the same high school so we know a little about each other. Since his mission and me being home from China we first met at the campfire on our singles ward trip to Lava Hot Springs, where we struck up a conversation. Him and I stayed up late chatting by the fire until I finally left to bed. I knew that he had to leave early the next morning so we said goodnight and parted ways without exchanging phone numbers, which was a disappointment to me.
Two weeks later I was getting off of work at 9pm and I get a call from an unknown number, being me I answer it. What a surprise it was to discover it was Russell from the singles ward trip on the phone. Russell and I still laugh about how awkward he was on that first phone call trying to sound so suave. Our first date was the Utah State Fair were we saw the rodeo. After that first date we started texting each other EVERYDAY! I wanted to hear from him everyday, and that's NEVER happened to me before with previous guys.
Our third date was so stinking cute. Russell loves to rock climb so he took me rock climbing. After rock climbing we drove to his house were I met his parents for the first time. I see that they had plotted this candellit dinner under this canopy of grape vines with a Moroccan lantern. It was SUCH a nice dinner! He had bought the ingredients, made most of it, he even remembered I like banana nut bread and made it for me! Late that night he asked if I would be his girlfriend! :) Even though it was early on in our dating I wanted/needed/felt I should say yes. There's something about this boy.... I think he's going to be around for a long time!
Here is a picture we took while rock climbing!
