It was the glorious day of June 30, and I was at the UVSC party they threw for turning into UVU. I went with my sister Tiffany and our awesome friend Laura. We were walking out when I saw Blake standing with a bunch of his friends. I recognized him from high school and thought I should go say hi. I was kind of scared because I didn't think he knew me and I didn't want to to look dumb in front of all of his friends. I decided to just leave but then he looked over at me like he recognized me, so I thought i would just say hi. I grabbed his arm and said "Are you Blake?" and so it began....
To make a long story short, while we were talking his phone kept ringing. Finally he looked at it and said "I'm really sorry, this is my friend from my mission" I told him to answer it of course. He did, and then he started speaking to someone really quickly in Spanish. Little did I know that his "friend from his mission" was his old mission companion Dallin who was standing 5 feet behind me. Dallin called Blake to tell him in Spanish that he should ask me out. Blake said he was too shy but maybe he would.
After he hung up (and this whole time i was thinking he was talking to some long lost friend or something) We kept talking, and that's when Blake's other friend Brandon took THIS picture:
(taken on his phone so it's kind of blurry..)
He showed it to Blake right after I left (I think?) and said "you need to ask this girl out, you had this big smile the whole time you two were talking" (CUTE!!!) So Blake did... about a half an hour later.... :)
Fast forward about six months and here we are:
SO happy, SO grateful, SO excited! Merry Christmas!
