You guys, Nathan and I always have fun, but those first few months together were some of the funnest of my entire life. Mostly because we had very little responsibility and tons of free time. I was a part time nanny and he was still working part time at Haagen Dazs. Every other free second was spent with each other. We were inseparable! We went on hikes, had picnics, ate a lot of pizza, watched Hot Rod 9,000 times, talked for hours about our childhood and teenage years, I went to Nevada to meet his family, he went to California to meet mine, we celebrated every anniversary, we went to the Zoo, we explored down town, we met each others friends, we danced to the Hairspray soundtrack at 2am, we went on endless drives all around Utah, we played in Park City, we went to concerts, we ran through the sprinklers, we spent 4th of July at Lake Mead, we watched Flight of the Conchords, we celebrated my 20th birthday, we got to know each other better than we ever could have imagined and thennnn... we fell in love.
Nathan had told me several months ago that he loved me. He told me he didn't mind waiting to hear it back. Just a few weeks into that summer together I knew I loved him. And when I told him, he pounded his chest with his fist and said, "Yes!!! I am so awesome!!!"
We soaked up every bit of each other. He quickly became so much more than my best friend. He was everything to me. We were still very young, but I knew I could see myself marrying this guy.
This summer was also the summer Nathan came fully back to the church. He told me he wanted to serve a mission though he knew he had a little bit of work to do. I knew I would support him no matter what. I also knew I was screwed. There was no way I could break up with this boy I loved so much. I was totally going to send of a missionary.
The idea excited and terrified me all at the same time.
