glad

DAY eight.

i am so thankful for my sweet love, ryan. and i'm doing this because i WANTED to. :)

i kiiiiind of maybe remember what he was wearing the first time that i saw him {yes, i said saw him, not met him} for some reason, we ran into each other at wild west. super lame, but it is what it is. he introduced, i told him i knew who he was, and he acted like he knew who i was too. actually, i think we were facebook friends for some reason (probably from my creeping days).

we hung out one night, and didn't see each other again for almost a year. 6 days and it would have been a year. back in the day when you could post questions on facebook like "who is your smelliest friend" or something like that and it gave you three people to choose from. well ryan accidentally chose me for "who made you smile today". we hadn't talked in a long time, and just barely became friends again on facebook after he kept deleting me. i got on facebook chat, and asked how i made him smile, knowing there was a mistake...AND THE REST IS HISTORY. haha just kidding. he said it was an accident, but that night was our first date. we saw shutter island, and my heart felt like flutter island. then i got home from seeing that movie, and i thought i was on shutter island.

i think we were both pretty scared of the relationship, so we didn't jump right in. actually, i was a lot more ready than he was. but don't tell him i said that. we went on dates, and i saw him play lots of times, then one night watching levi smith....he was ready to "be with me, be with me". i am so crazy about this guy, and have been practically since i laid my eyes on him. he's got the best heart. he's so considerate and compassionate. he is always helping others, to get nothing in return. he is a go-getter, and i have had the best time watching him have so much fun playing guitar. his passion for music is overwhelming and i am so so so jealous of that passion (as in, i wish i had a passion for something like that). he is brilliant and so funny. his family is the best, too. i am so blessed to know them. they are all so special to me. i have had so much fun the past year and a half. i am so thankful to have him to go to church with me, something that i've always wanted. he is so great. love that soul. so proud to call him my boyfriend :)

love you most!
