I know this is so cliche, but it honestly feels like it was just yesterday!
Andrew picked 3/9/2007 because he thought I would like the numbers...You know, 3 times 9 is 27. I'm kind of weird about number combinations. I blame it on my Math Game 24 days back in elementary school, but you probably have no idea what I'm talking about :)
Anyway, when I was digging for this picture I had a grand time taking a walk down memory lane. You can join me if you want...
Andrew and I were in the same ward at BYU and we became friends when his apartment asked my apartment if we wanted to do a dinner group on Sundays. I soon developed a "pretend crush" on him - it would have been a real crush if only he would have been a little taller :) I know, I'm a little superficial, but I figured it out eventually. Andrew decided he liked me when we went on a road trip to Colorado for a BYU football game. I mean, how could you resist this...
I guess he wanted someone who could appreciate a football fanatic...
My birthday was about 2 months later and I caught him checking me out...
About a week after my birthday he needed help with his Statistics homework, and since it was my major I offered to help. The following night he needed more "help". This time around he claimed there was an extra credit problem he had to do so we turned to it. Turns out he had made up his own stats problem, which was actually pretty elaborate, and typed it up and taped it in his textbook to ask me out. I think it was when I found out that he had been up all night trying to come up with that question that my pretend crush turned into a real one. After our first date we hung out practically every night. Then we both went home for Christmas break and we talked on the phone everyday. When we got back to Provo after the break we changed our statuses on facebook to "in a relationship" :) And the rest is history!
Here are some of my favorite pictures from our dating days...
Looking at these pictures makes me realize that now I'm a lot less tan and a lot less blonde than I used to be, but I'm ok with that because I've got a great husband and a sweet little girl who love me no matter what! Andrew is at school taking a Finance test, but when he gets home we'll celebrate with some Moose Tracks ice cream and watch Lost together. How romantic!
