First date
11 months ago, I was working weekends in the JFSB. I was in the basement putting a classroom back together. One thing that you must know about the basement of that building is you pretty much have no cell-phone reception. Imagine my surprise when I heard and felt my phone go off in my pocket. I stopped what I was doing and looked at the text...it was from a number I didn't recognize. But, it was all good because it was my now boyfriend, asking me what time I got off of work. He then asked if I was interested in going with him to watch a film at the International Cinema an hour after work. I of course enthusiastically responded yes. I proceeded to text two of my really good friends saying that the man I had a crush on for three months finally asked me out. I called my mom to tell her and she brought me an essential item: a hairbrush. I'm very glad that she brought me a brush because my hair was in a messy ponytail. I met him at the International Cinema, my heart pounding like crazy. We proceeded to watch the movie (Twilight Samurai, which by the way is a very good movie). I put my arm away from his, not wanting to touch his arm for fear of being too forward. Later on during the movie, my arm was hurting from where I put it. I put my arm in front of his so that it wasn't touching his, making my arm much more comfortable. As the movie went on, our arms moved closer and closer towards each others'. Next thing I knew, we were holding hands. I thought to myself "Wow, that was fast!" but hey, I wasn't complaining. :) It felt really nice holding his hand. After the movie was over, neither one of us wanted the date to end so we went over to the Creamery to get ice cream. Afterwards, he walked me back to campus where my parents picked me up. Needless to say, we both enjoyed the date and thoroughly enjoyed sharing the details with our family members and roommates.
Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day was 2 weeks after we started dating. I knew that we were going to go out on a date that night but didn't know what exactly we were going to be doing. He texted me, asking me if I had any ideas. He also told me that he wanted the date to be a little fancy. I started freaking out after that text. I told my best friend and anyone that would listen at my ward's Valentine's Day dance that I felt like he was going to kiss me that night. After telling this to a guy in my ward, he told me that if it happens, it happens and not to worry about it and to be myself and have a good time. We decided to go to a masquerade ball. I wore a pink and red blouse and skirt...he showed up wearing a nice suit accented with red. He also showed up with flowers and chocolates. :) The dance itself wasn't a very good one. He tried doing a waltz with me, something we both failed miserably at. While we stood there on the dance floor, he kissed me for the very first time!!!!! After he kissed me, we went outside. While we were outside, he held me close and sang to me. That was the very first time he had sang to me and the very first time a man has ever sang to me. It melted my heart. :)
It's crazy to think that for the majority of this year, I've been dating this wonderful man I call my boyfriend. Here's to 2016 and hoping for another wonderful year with him. :) Happy New Year everyone!!!
