Our Story

Adam and I first met when we were in the same "family" on our stake youth pioneer trek over four years ago. At the time I was 15 and he was 18. I was basically immediately in love with him after spending four days with him. Being the naive teenager girl that I was, I thought I might have a chance with this guy who had already graduated from high school and already had a girlfriend, even though I couldn't even drive. To give myself a little credit though, he was definitely leading me on. The summer of the trek we hung out a lot, and boy was he a flirtatious one. I remember I got my first cell phone right after we got home from the trek and I only had 400 texts a month (crazy right? nothing compared to the thousands we use now) and I would text him so much that I would run out in a week and wouldn't be able to text anyone else.
As the summer ended and school started my romantic fantasies started to die down. Until basketball season anyway. Adam was hired as an assistant coach for the high school team and it just so happened that I was taking drivers ed in the classroom right next to the gym around the same time as practice, so when we got our breaks I bet you can guess what I was doing. It sounds really creepy to say that I would watch him at practice, but all the other girls were watching the guys playing, so no one would even notice that I was watching the guy coaching.
When basketball ended my stalking time did too, and our contact became kind of scarce. Adam was getting ready for his mission, and I had moved on to high school boys. Once he was on his mission I actually decided to write him at some point, but he stopped writing me because his girlfriend told him not to, but then she got married while he was gone (remember that story all you future missionaries).
One day, after I'd grown up quite a bit and forgotten the woes of my younger years, I went to another friend's homecoming and there he was. He stood right next to me, gave my best friend a hug, and didn't even look at me. What the heck right? But I thought that maybe I'd just changed so much over the years that he didn't recognize me. I'd just chopped all my hair off and colored it, so it was possible right? Anyway a couple days later he popped up on my facebook and so I added him as a friend. He messaged me, we started texting, he invited me over to watch Transformers, and the rest is history.
