Beginings

I have decided to give in and do a silly cheesy sappy blog of Jared and I's doings. I would like to start off by saying I met Jared February 8th 2009. I being a young 18 almost 19 year old girl got recruited to go to the singles ward. Earlier that day two ward missionaries came to my door and asked if i would like to come to ward prayer that evening. I was hesitant but i obviously couldn't be a jerk and just say no so i agreed to going. That evening i sat there among about 20 singles most of which seemed to be a lot older then me. Jared was late to ward prayer that night (even though it was at his house). I watched as he came in and sat on the floor right across from me and thought how cute he was. As many of you might know if you have been to a singles ward activity a lot of these events are set up so get you to mingle in a co-ed fashion. So we started out the ward prayer with a game of whats your name and what are you doing for valentines day. I remember sitting there hoping that he would say he was single and when it got to him i was very glad to learn that he was. After the thought and the prayer took place all the singles feasted over some delicious store bought cookies. I on the other hand was more interested on how i could get him to notice me. I went over to where he and a group of people were standing and sat myself close by, they were talking guns, something i have no knowledge of in the slightest. I shot over a few smiles and tried to casually insert comments into the conversation. Jared soon asked if i had ever been shooting i told him i haven't and he asked if i would like to go sometime. I said i would love to and gave him my number. Four days later on the 12th he asked if i would like to go shooting with him the following day. I was sooooooooooo excited and gushed to all my hair school friends about the cute boy i had met the Sunday before and how i couldn't wait to go shooting. That Friday i met him at his house and off we went to the shooting range (I would call this our first date, Jared would not). I had such a good time getting to know Jared even though he was pretty quiet. Oh also if you ask Jared about this day he will claim that i tried to shoot him which is completely false so if you hear this story don't believe a word. After that i was a giddy little girl i sat by my phone hoping he would text me and getting butterflies when he did. The next Sunday i got a surprise as i learned that Jared is TEN years older then me holy crap i was shocked! I thought man there is no chance he will ever like someone as young as me! Man did i get lucky! To TRY and make things short I spent the next 8 months hanging out with Jared about two to three times a week cuddling and laughing, Getting off school and driving around for a hour hoping he would invite me over so i could see him again. Finally on his 29th Birthday on September 21st i got off school headed to his house and brought him a birthday present i had picked out (Flight of the Conchords season 2). We cuddled all night and finally he kissed me for the first time and thus our realationship began!
