When You Know, You Know

Essentially we started dating five days after he got home.

Now we just kind of look at each other and laugh.

"Is this real?"

Yes, it is.

Seven Hundred and Thirty Days- I MADE IT

May 31, 2013 Scott came home from his mission after being gone for exactly two years.

It wasn't real until Tuesday night when he was standing there, hugging me.

I had just gotten off work and he came to see me.

I was wearing my Jamba clothes and felt so not pretty.

But I was so happy.

It was so surreal.

I remember letting go, looking at him, and wanting to cry.

We walked around Jordan Landing and just talked.

It was late, dark, and I felt like we were the only people in the world.

I still couldn't believe he was home.

Talking to him was so easy, as if no time had passed at all.

But at the same time it was different, we have both changed a lot.

The next day he took me on a date.

It was the most perfect first date, ever. 

We went to dinner, square danced, and then played at Copperton park.

I was on cloud nine the entire time.

We sat on the picnic tables for three hours and talked about every little thing in the world.

He drove me home, walked me up to my porch, and kissed me.

I think it took me three days to stop smiling.

Sunday night I went to his house and we played a game with his parents. 

I love them.

I've missed them so much, especially Mr. Simpson.

Being there again reminded me of my high school days.

It's like home, but different.

Scott and I talked some more when his parents went to bed and we tried to figure out what we're going to do.

I still don't know, we still don't know.

I just know that I like being with him... a lot.

Yesterday he took me on another date.

We hiked the U with Austin and Shaunie.

It was certainly an adventure with an amazing view.

After sitting at the top for a while, we went and had a picnic at Memory Garden and then walked around Temple Square. 

I got super sunburned and that made for some pretty good entertainment.

I had a lot of fun and I'm really glad I finally got to do that!

Plus I thought it was really sweet that Scott planned that whole thing just because I told him I have always wanted to hike the U. 

I'm just really happy to finally have my friend home.

He's amazing.

:)

Also, we totally matched.

And as always, DFTBA
