And so it's begun...

 I have decided to enter into the world of blogging... Let's hope I'll be better at updating this than I am with my journal. So to begin, I would like to tell you my Love Story, which is my main purpose in having this blog. I'm not like other girls you see, I am waiting for a missionary. You'll be reading lots and lots about my beloved missionary  so I better give the background of how it all began... Oh and by the way, our story is rather complicated. Here goes! 

Andrew is my friends (Kortnee) cousin's (Kade) best friend. But Kade lived in Washington while me and Kort lived in Utah, so I never met Andrew through Kade. Kortnee had Andrew as a friend on MySpace and one day my friend Shanda was hanging out with Kortnee and saw Andrew's MySpace profile picture. Shanda thought Andrew was freakin gorgeous so she added him on MySpace. Shanda developed a HUGE crush on Andrew and one night when I was talking to her on IM she kept going on and on about how great and wonderful and absolutely amazing this guy from Washington is. I got curious about this guy and wondered if he really was all he was cracked up to be so I asked Shanda to introduce me to him. Me and Andrew clicked the second we started talking, but due to me being in a musical I was unable to get on IM for a couple months. As a side note, we met in early October and I didn't get back onto IM until late November. 

I had actually forgotten all about Andrew until one day, after I was done with the muscial, I logged onto IM. He started talking to me literally the instant I got on, and I actually had to stop and think about how I knew this guy haha. Anyways.... From that day forth we talked nearly everyday, I would hurry home from school just so I could get online and talk to him. It wasn't long after that I developed a HUGE crush on him also. But about 5 or so months after I met him I found out he had a girlfriend, needless to say I was beyond devastated... 

 About a year after me and Andrew met (September), his girlfriend broke up with him for good. He was heartbroken... I was ready to go give that girl a piece of my mind! A couple weeks later Andrew's friend Kade somehow managed to get me and Andrew to admit that we liked each other. We decided to try the whole long distance dating thing.. It lasted about a week (officially dating) and then he decided it was too hard and we broke up. We still flirted, called, and texted each other all the time, actually, more like constantly to the point we had kind of forgotten we had broken up. That New Years he had convinced his Dad to come to Utah so he could hang out with Kade (Kade's family had moved to another state), he didn't end up hanging out with Kade very much though... 

 The first night me and Andrew officially met in person was at my friend Kortnee's house. Kortnee's sister was waxing eyebrows, so Kortnee's family bribed Kade into waxing his, and as a joke I told Andrew that he should wax his too, yeah, he didn't realize I was joking and ended up waxing his eyebrows. To this day he still refuses to ever do that again because of the pain. 

After that New years I didn't see Andrew for 6 months, we had broken up that Spring because the distance was killing us but 3 months later, we were back together. Ever since that summer of 2008 we have seen each other every 2 months about. Each time I was with him I fell for him even more. Then in Spring of 2009 I faced heartbreak again. We had mutually agreed to take a break, and a few days after that he met another girl. He had already bought his plane ticket to come to Utah in May to take me to my senior cotillion so no matter what, he was still coming.  I had been so hurt by what had happened (he literally changed into another person) that after I took him back to the airport after the senior cotillion I was never going to talk to him again, even though things didn't work out with the other girl. But something changed in Andrew and he woke up from whatever had been possessing him. I forgave him and of course, we got back together.

Ever since that May of 2009 we have seen each other every single month, and in January 2010, every week, and as of April 20th, 2010, we have literally seen each other every single day. He's my other half, (no joke, when one of my friends sees me without him, they'll ask where the other half is). He's my best friend and has been since the day we met, I love him more than I ever thought possible and I love him more every single day. I have no idea what I would do without my Andrew in my life, he has done so much for me! August 11th, 2010 my dear Love entered the MTC to serve our Heavenly Father for 2 years. I was heartbroken, but I have no doubt in my mind that letting him go was the right thing to do. The past 1.5 months has been quite the rollercoaster. I miss him like crazy, I'm lonely without him, but yet, I am so happy he's serving and am so very excited for the adventures he's going to have. I never thought I would say that I am grateful to have dated him long distance, but I am. I had already learned how to live without him and how to be happy without him, in other words, I think I was being secretly prepared for being a missionary's girl. 

And so it's begun, my adventure to 2 years to Eternity!
