Our Story.

So about a year ago Kevin and I went on our first date. I thought this would be the perfect time to tell “Our Story.”

If you all didn’t know Kevin and I met on Match.com. We had been talking for a while but had never had a face to face meeting. So I asked if he wanted to meet on Wednesday, I had the night off from my part time job and didn’t have to work the next morning at Hilton. He was busy watching war movies with his guy friends so he declined. I tried once more, little does he know that if he declined again I would have given up. So again I tried on Thursday, after I got off work from Target – that would be 11:30pm and I would still need to change and everything. To my surprise he said yes. So we had a date all set, I was going to text him when I left Ankeny. It was his suggestion that we go to El Bait Shop. Little did I know at the time that he LOVES trying new beer, perfect for him. So he was a perfect gentleman and asked me what I wanted to drink. I said I didn’t care so he just picked one, it wasn’t the best but I drink most of it. We talked the night away, till the bar closed down at 2am. We then went out to the parking lot and talked some more, it was so cold that night and I didn’t dress correctly for the water – oops! However I had a blanket in my car so I was able to wrap up in it. However by the end of the night I was getting tired and I had to work at Hilton the following day so around 4:30am we finally said good-bye.  It wasn’t until we were leaving I told him my noise was cold – it was, if truth be told, cold. However he took the opportunity and ran with it, and thus a kiss was given! : ) I was a happy little girl when I left him. Over the next few days we texted each other and my mind was for some reason always thinking about him. We did not set up a time to meet again however.  It wasn’t until the next Wednesday I knew he was something special. I had to go and watch Addi and Canon and he was to go to “guys night” however after a really long day at work I was not in that great of mood. However he agreed to skip guy’s night to go to Gray's Lake with – one problem, I didn’t know what time. He just waited till I called to go with me, it was rather late but we still went. It was the best walk I have ever been on. We then went to his place and watched a movie – I bet you can’t guess what we watched. We watched Star Trek, yep really romantic – I also made him make popcorn. From that point on I knew I wanted him all to myself. So from there we tried to spend as much time together as possible, I would come over after work and we would watch movies and eat pizza. Also if I ever wanted a kiss all I would have to say is “my noise is cold.”

 Exactly 20 days later we became “us.” I was after we went to On The Border with my Dad and Melissa. His first time meeting both of them. That day was interesting in and of its self. I was so nervous for him to meet them but he handled it like a pro. However while I was leaving work the skirt I was wearing split up the back and the only place that had one was in Indianola. So I had to run there quick so I could get it changed out. I did that, went and got him and the first worlds out of his mouth were, “you look great.”

The rest they say is history. I could not do some of the things I am doing with him next to me supporting me all the way. He is my rock; I know he thinks I am crazy sometimes, and I just might be but no one makes me laugh as much as him. I know that he will always be in my corner and me in his supporting each other all the way. I love you my Kevin, always and forever.
