Boy met girl:
We met through school/church a little over a year ago. I hung out with some of the people in his group but decided they didn't like me and thought that maybe they were a little immature. He claims he thought I was emo and painted my nails black, which I don't think I have...ever.
Proof that first impressions aren't everything:
Despite the fact that I thought he was immature and he thought I had a bad sense of fashion a year later we started getting to know each other better. It's all because I was trying to get a bunch of Colorado people together in September and found his number (Note: I did not stalk him!)I sent out a text to all the CO people I knew and he happened to respond. But the party never happened and he didn't even know it was me until...
A day or two later it came up in conversation and he figured out it was me. Cat is out of the bag now and ball is in Cor's court.
Disclaimer:
At this point in my life I had decided to let things just happen and not be the girl who starts things. I decided to say yes to dates if and when I was asked but I did not plan or provoke such things.
Over the course of a couple of days Cor and I happened to go to the same social events. A BBQ here and crepe party there and a night of watching 17 Again.
The first Date:
I loved it! Very casual and nothing to worry about. Cor suddenly gets a craving for ice cream and before I know it he's on his way to pick me up and take me to DQ at 11:00 at night. I did not know DQ was open so late and this was exciting news to me. Is it ok to admit that I was most impressed with his truck? I had to pick my jaw up off the ground before climbing inside. What can I say I'm a sucker for trucks.
Disclaimer:
Even though I said I was not going to put out an indication I might be a little more interested, I still did with Corey. I wasn't even sure I was a little more interested.
After that we spent everyday together until Thanksgiving break. He was impressed that I liked to watch sports and I was impressed with finding another side to the fun (not immature) Corey.
And now:
We're engaged! Yep that's right it only took him three months to convince me...kidding it was only one! Corey is amazing and I am so excited to start this new part of my life with him.
He surprised me with a "Christmas" dinner when I got back to Co on the 31st. We exchanged gifts and ate by candle light. It was the most romantic thing Corey has done for me and yes I was teary eyed.
And then he asked if I was ready for dessert...
The room was dark except for the candles so I didn't see the ring and barely saw what was written before I realized he was on his knee asking me to marry him.
That's my version of the story anyway Corey has every right to add or change what he thinks went down differently.
Now it's wedding plans and finishing my last semester at the Y. It's going to be a great year!
I'm sorry if I start to neglect this blog and possibly abandon it all together. I will most likely start a new one when I get a hubby!
