I must start off by saying that there is reason I am writing all this. Our 2 year wedding anniversary is on Sunday! Whoo! 2 WHOLE years! Its very little compared to some but very long to others. For me, this is been a very fast, crazy two years.
Here is how it all began....
Here I was, a freshman at Hillsdale. I had taken this leap of faith and moved from good ol' Wichita to Moore. I was very convinced that after 2 years at Hillsdale I would pack up and move back home and continue on. I just wanted to go away for a couple of years and go back to settle in Wichita again. This would have worked out perfectly if I never would have watched this cute boy mow outside my window everyday. Creeper, I know. But he was cute, I had a great excuse! He was tan, in shape, and well...cute!
Well at first I really didn't know who this cute boy was but come on, its Hillsdale and it only takes a couple days to learn. Ok so I now know his name and I wonder if he will ever talk to me. Im a freshman and he is a junior. hmm. I wasn't going to be one of those MRS degree girls so I figured I would just be friends with him anyway. I mean, I had plans of going back home. NOT staying in Oklahoma forever. ha! My lucky day came and it was biology class. Why he waited until junior year to take biology Im really not sure but hey, it worked for me.
It was test time. I hadn't really told anyone that I liked him, but Im pretty sure my roommate had figured it out. He came to me one day and said "Hey, you want to study biology tonight?" umm....YES! I so humbly answered "Um maybe I might have plans but I will let you know." Really I was ready to drop everything and "study". But of course, I had to play hard to get. I couldn't let it go that easy. Needless to say, I called about 30 min before it was time and said " yeah I guess I have time tonight so where do you want to meet?" Playing it so cool. Yeah right.
We went out to eat often, we went to movies, we hung out with friends, we went to the park to swing. (Not to make out...seriously! We went to the park because it's one of my favorite places. This will come back later in the story.)
Time went on and I kept up this game of "hard to get" for awhile. At least I thought I was. Nobody else agrees with me. It was about November at this point and I was thinking, seriously!? Why won't he just ask me out?? I knew the answer and it was wise, but I wanted to be dating now. Something about you should be sure you want to date before you actually do. He was planning this way better than me!
So getting ahead of myself one day, I said "ok look here, its been 3 months and you STILL haven't asked me out yet! I dont have time for this so let's be friends." He said "ok, well if that's what you want, but it's not what I want." WHAT? I felt stupid! Im not sure he knew what to do from there. I so graciously went into one of my roommates and spilled it all and she said, "karen, seriously, wait! You are going to scare him off acting like this!" Thanks for that advice friend, you know who you are!
Ok so I did, I just decided we would be friends for awhile and stopped acting like I was falling for this guy every minute. I hid it better. One month later in December, he FINALLY asked me to be his girlfriend...
