How we met

So, finally I will write how Auston and I met....and by that I mean actually started talking. The first time I saw him, he had just come into our Young Single Adult branch. He was introducing himself, stating that he was in the Navy and was going to stay for about 2 years. I thought to myself: "he's cute". But, I left it at that....knowing that most of my life, cute guys like him have never really liked me. So I made up my mind that I was just to treat him like any other guy. Which is basically saying, not gonna talk to him. So, needless to say, I kinda kept my distance. Anyways, the day we really talked pretty much at all, and well, not for long was on an activity going to play some "russian baseball" i think it was. I didn't want to drive by myself, not too confident in driving, especially in areas I'm don't know very well.

So, I asked the President of the branch if he could possibly give me a ride there, other people had already enough people in their cars....well except for Auston, who was all by himself. Anyways, so President takes it upon himself to ask Auston if he would be willing to give me a ride instead. To the which he replied "sure, of course". Darn! I thought, (by the way, im extremely shy, one of the reasons I stayed away from guys), I had to ride with the cuuute stranger! Im terrible at making small talk, I remember him trying to talk to me, and would ask me questions, to the which I gave him a simple answer and then turned my head away to look out the window. I think he probably started to get annoyed of this, and a little part of me was sad because I really thought he was cute, but I was partly glad, because I was not comfortable talking at all. So eventually we got to the park, and we kept our distance from each other, not really talking at all. Then it was time for the ride back to the church, and well the scenario repeated itself.

Since then, we kind of only said "hi" and "bye" to each other, He kept asking me to hang out more, like to go out. But I kept declining, yes, because I was too scared to get out of my comfort zone. Slowly I started feeling more comfortable around him. Then I find out something that I didn't like about him.......

He is younger than me!!! I was soooo sad, because I had told myself I would never date anyone younger than me.

However, as the time went by, I started liking him more, especially at the YSA conference we had shortly thereafter. I felt so comfortable, I started hanging around him the whole night. We dance pretty much every dance together, and (well he previously said he wanted to hang out, but i kept telling him no, that i was too busy). So at the dance he finally said, "so when are we going to watch this movie that we want to see?" and i responded "oh i dont know....someday"

Well that day happened sooner than I imagined, i believe it was either the day after or the day after that i called him up to see if he was up to the movie. So there you have it, we went out to the movies and from there our love blossomed.

He is the most amazing man ever. I love him so much. Seriously, I could have not asked for a better husband then him. :-)

So later this week I will write about how he proposed to me......
