Okay. SO it has been about a year and half since I have done
a blog post. My life got away from me a bit. I started dating an incredible man
and married him. I’ve been married for about ten months now. I graduated
college and got my Bachelor’s degree in English Education. I am now a certified
teacher. I moved to Idaho Falls to teach. Basically I found work, love, and
life. It has been a wonderful year and a half and I wish I would have shared it
more. I am starting now.
I shall start out with a little bit of our love story:
All the way back in January 2013 my roommate started dating
her now husband. She wanted to set me up with either his brother or his friend.
I met the brother and thought he was pretty cute. He was a bit awkward from
only being off of his mission for 6 days, but he was witty and I liked that. We
went on a date, which was kind of uncomfortable and that was that. Not another
date.
We went our separate ways. He dated A LOT… he likes to tell
me this fact. And, I went to Ukraine and studied abroad. When I came back to
school in the fall my roommate Kristina was about to get engaged to the man of
her dreams, Zach. I was SO excited for them. Kristina was VERY persistent in
wanting me to date the brother. I said that maybe we would go on a date when he
comes back to school in the winter.
I then asked her why she was being so persistent and she
said, and I quote, “You guys are perfect for each other, you are both so nerdy.” ... I am not so sure what she meant by that...
I put this in the back of my brain and said maybe later…
In October of 2014 Zach was coming up to visit Kristina and
little did she know he was also going to propose. All of us roommates were SO
excited. The day came for him to get there and he decided to bring his little
brother up for the trip.
There I was in my living room watching a movie and in walks
in Zach and behind him… Zebadiah Teichert. He walked straight into my living
room and my heart.
He looked good. Like really good. Like wow. I am turning
into a valley girl just thinking about it. There was flirting for the few days
he was there. An exchange of numbers, and a lot of texting and calling for the
next couple weeks.
I have to tell you, I liked him. I “like-liked” him.
Everyone always says “I don’t like games” but we all play them in
relationships. This is perfectly different for us. One day I decided to tell
him that I liked him and to actually not play the game of “Does he like me?”
and “What does this text mean, it has a wink smiley face?” …. Don’t act like
you have never done that.
I was having flash backs of telling Billy Wilson I
like-liked him in 2nd grade. That did NOT go well. But, I had to get over Billy Wilson sooner or later so, I did it, and
he said he liked me back.
And like the spectacular poet Walt Whitman said, “We were
together. I forget the rest.”
