This has been a pretty crazy week for me...there is much to blog about :) So the time to make the trek back to Rexburg inevitably came. Since I had mono this summer my parents didn't want me to drive back alone (the doctor said I'm no longer contagious!!) so my dad drove me to Boise. It was nice to have him with me for that part of my trip. Once we got to Boise we ate lunch at the Cracker Barrel and then he flew back to Portland and I continued on to Rexburg.
Once I got into Rexburg and moved all my stuff in David came over. I hadn't seen him in three weeks so I was really excited! He took me grocery shopping...so romantic I know :) After that we went to Idaho Falls for dinner at Olive Garden. Yum! Then we were going to finger paint pictures for each other but it was too dark outside so we found a dock on the river where we sat and talked. It was then that we bacame "official."
Since being up here David and I have spent most all our time together. Things are going great between us and I'm excited for the rest of the semester. Now for how we met...
Last semester I joined a lacrosse team, the same team David happened to be on. I always thought he was cute and funny but he didn't pay as much attention to me like some of the other guys did so we never really talked and thats how it was for the whole season. One time at practice I got hit in the eye with a lacrosse ball which hurt really bad! And so we were all sitting there (me in tears) and David said and I quote, "Welcome to lacrosse Bree." I was livid. I didn't like him for the rest of the week. But then I decided to let it go cause he was really funny. David swears he didn't say this, but he did :)
Our team eventually made it to the championships and we won! That day David borrowed my screwdriver to tighten his helmet and forgot to give it back. So the next day (this is now two weeks before the semester is over) I added him as a friend on facebook with a message telling him he forgot to give me my screwdriver back. Later that day I sign on and he starts talking to me. He was so funny! Anyway he ended up asking me out for the Tuesday and I said yes.
Our first date was to the Harry Potter midnight showing. It was a double date with his roommate Kyle and his girlfiend Sharon. We went to dinner at 5 Guys and then we had like three hours to kill in the movie theater. This had potential to be the worst first date ever since we really didn't even know each other very well and we had so much time before the movie started. It was the exact opposite. It was the best first date I've ever been on. We got along so well and talked the whole time.
Wednesday night David called me and asked me out for a second date on Friday, which I obviously said yes to. I was so happy that he had called. Most guys up here are into just hanging out all the time. But David actually called in advance to set up a date. Anyway David and I have some mutual friends on the lax team who were having a game night on Thursday so I invited him to go with me and we hung out that night as well.
Friday came and it was another double date with our friend Andy who was our lax coach. We went to dinner and then miniture golfing in the gardens on campus. It was really fun and thats when we had our first kiss. After golfing we rented the Rocker and watched it at his apartment.
We saw eachother everyday after this until the end of the semester which was only another week. He even met my sister Jayme and her family that Sunday. At this point I was really starting to like this guy which I think scared me a little at first. On Monday we kind of had a "DTR" (defining the relationship) and I told him I didn't want to have a long distance relationship. Even though we pretty much did.
So David left to go back to San Diego on Friday and we talked on the phone everyday over the 6 week break except like twice. So now we are back in the same place and things are going really well.
School has started and it is my last semester before I go student teaching in Las Vegas. Its pretty crazy that my college career is just about over. It has gone by so fast! Pretty soon I'll be off on a new adventure.
Our last night together before David left we took a bunch of pictures on his computer
