We hung out every day after we met. EVERY DAY! I loved seeing him, talking to him, texting him, everything. I was head over heels about this boy. He didn't have an official job anymore so we were able to see each other any time I was not working.
He would bring me lunch, plan cute dates like...
What I consider our official he asked me out at night date was:
I went over to his house because he said he had something that was a surprise and I needed to hurry up! When I got there he said he was going to take me somewhere. So we went outside and their was a Harley! He took me on a motorcycle ride up to Las Sendas and we climbed up on this rock that overlooked the city. It was about 8pm so all the city lights were on but it was super dark out where we were so it was just beautiful!! Then on the way home we stopped at the store and got ice cream and went back to his place and ate a ton! It was so much fun I still think it was my favorite date we have ever been on!

One night I believe it was Oct 13 or 14 we were at institute (a class at night for lds members) and after class we went and got some food at this yummy place Cheba Hut- if you have never been you need to go! Order the White Widow its heaven.
anyway so we went to get some food then dropped off his roommates at his house and went for a drive. We went down to a lake and talked but it was freezing cold to me so we went back to warm up in the truck and we started talking about fun things we had done sense we met and then Jacob said "So I guess that means were boyfriend and girlfriend" I replied with "ya, I guess so" how romantic!! I was so excited because even though we had just met we were both tired of playing games we were both looking for something more serious. I was just one step closer to marrying the man of my dreams!

2 or so weeks later was Halloween... my favorite holiday besides Thanksgiving & Christmas. I talked Jacob into dressing up in a bunny costume that some of my brothers wore and it made me so happy because I thought it was so funny! I went and got ready with some of my girl friends then met up with Jacob and we went to get some food. Then we headed over to my brothers house for a rad party!

The next big event was the I Love You!
One day I was at work and had a few hours between lunch. So Jacob picked me up and we went to this nice place called Brio. I ordered a sandwich and he ordered fish of some kind and we ate. Then he got a phone call and ended up talking on the phone forever!! After the phone call he got kinda nervous and I thought the phone call ended up being a bad thing and that something had happened but then he turned to me and started saying some nice things about me and then said "so i have decided I am in love with you!" I froze. I was so happy inside I did not know what to do. I took one more bite of my food then replied "thanks".... WHAT! Thanks?!? I felt like a jerk but I didn't know what else to say. I knew I loved him but I didn't want to say anything just because he said it and I told him that I would say it when I was 110% because I wanted this to be the last first time I say I love you to a boy.  He was okay with it but I still felt bad good thing he loved me right!!

So I woke up so excited for the day ahead. I was on call for work and hoping that nothing would get in the way of my afternoon.
I was in the back yard letting my 4 little turtles get some sun while I waited for Jacob to come over and counting down the minutes. Little did I know Jacob was already inside meeting my mom!
*how my mom met Jacob*
She was singing a song at the top of her lungs with her head in the pantry- I had told Jacob to just come in because we would be outside. To his surprise he got serenaded & about scared my mother to death. They got to talking and my mom liked him right away.

I walked inside not expecting to see him but he was helping my mom with something. I got a big smile on my face but acted as if I was not super excited. We all talked for a bit then my dad came in and met him as well- my dad tried to put on a fatherly act but he is just a big softy. We laughed and joked around then left.

We were heading to go play ball and I was talking smack because I was so nervous about playing and duh running in front of Jacob. I ended up loosing-- big shock!! but we had so much fun playing and learning little facts about each other! I kept having to check my phone to make sure I didn't have to go to work and thankfully I didn't but Jacob had to help his roommate so we called it a day and he drove me home.

Like a real man he walked to me the front door and we had that long odd pause so me being to brave girl I am I kissed him- ya he kissed me back! then of course my dad came to the door and we both jumped back. He claimed "I heard a car door and wanted to check who it was" oh dad...! So we said bye and I went inside and he headed home.

I went over to a girls house and was hanging out when I got a text  around 6pm Wahoo! "1 new message- Jacob Beach"  He asked if I wanted to come over and watch a movie I was so excited but didn't want to just go over there so I hung out with my friend a bit longer then was on my way.

We watched one of my favorite movies ever O Brother, Where Art Tho. Have you seen it?  Yet-- we didn't watch much because we were making out. Cute boy! We could not help it!
(we are LDS and do not believe in sex before marriage just fyi)

We kissed then watched the movie then hung out and talked then I went home. with butterfly's in my stomach and on cloud 9 because I really really liked that boy!

Next. Little important parts, will you be my girlfriend?, Halloween, I love you.

Our Story: Our first "date"

I woke up to a text. I was so excited when it said "1 new message- Jacob Beach" I was giddy.
I opened it up and I cant remember what it said... something that made me super happy. So I get ready for work- I am a massage therapist so I dress comfortable that fine Tuesday I was lazy so I put on a to big white shirt and my black comfy pants and some crocks with my hair in a low pony tail. Ya I know so not attractive but its work so no biggy!

I happened to work in the same office as my mom- she was doing nutrition scans in the room next to me so after my first few clients I went and got some lunch then sat down to catch up with her. the first words that popped out of my mouth were "So I met the man I am going to marry last night" with no expression on my face. My mom quickly stopped what she was doing and wanted every detail. I started talking then got a text and wahoo!! "1 new message- Jacob Beach" this time it said "want to go to lunch?" I replied "ya, I am starving" little did he know I had just bough some lunch. my mom enjoyed it for me!

So I had about 3 hours till my next appointment so I took off and met Jacob at Panda Express. Yum!!
I got there and saw him and my heart went crazy he looked good. All dressed up button up, slacks, dress shoes very nice! then like I said.... too big of shirt, comfy pants, crocks! and nasty pony tail. yuck!  I bet he wished he could turn around because I did not look cute like I did the night before.
We sat down and talked forever about everything he even ended up sitting right next to me by the end of lunch instead of across the table. I guess looks are not everything!

I found out that he was quitting his job so he was out "looking for something new" aka waisting time at Walmart.
His favorite thing to do was play basketball- he lived with the 2 guys I met at the party- he was 24- he is like a human jutbox(?) (he knows every song)- he was interested in me!!
I had to go back to work so we said good bye and planned to play some basketball at a court by my house the next day/afternoon. I was so excited I could not wait.

The rest of the day we continued to text and get to know each other.

Tomorrow: basketball, and the kiss!

Our Story: Lets start at the beginning

About a week before I met Jacob

(short recap) I broke up with my last boyfriend about 3 or 4 months earlier then met another boy & lets call him "rebound". I would never normally like a guy like him I just needed to get over my last relationship of 18 months.

October 2008- I was living at my brothers house because my parents and I got in a fight and they kicked me out for a bit. I had an awesome friend names Hailee that I had not seen in 18 months because I was that girl that never saw her friends only the guys. I was so excited to see her and she had just invited me to go to a dance party called Rockin R Ranch ( I don't dance). We danced for hours non stop I ended up getting home around like 1am or so and could not even walk normal I was so tired and my feet hurt so bad!

I am in the middle and Hailee is right next to me in the black & white.

I ended up getting sick right after that with tonsillitis and went back home to my parents house because I was annoyed with my brothers roommates and tired of living out of a bag. I was home alone for a week because my parents were on vacation. I remember calling my mom crying because my throat hurt so bad and I could not eat or drink anything but refused to go to the doctor.

By Monday night I was all better and my parents had just got home. I was talking to them about how I was done with guys and going on a 5 year plan of no dating, a mission for the LDS church when I turned 21 then picking my life up again when I returned.

That night I got a text from Hailee (remember awesome friend) that said she was doing a game night at another girl Emily's ( a girl I didn't really like because she was perfect & I was jealous(now one of my best friends)) house and she wanted me to go. So I got up dressed and was ready to be with some girls. I got their and was having such a fun time I had missed people and having so much fun!

(are you bored?... get excited!!)

About an hour into game night in walk 3 boys. I grab my phone and text Hailee something like "Ya, I like him he is way cute" regarding a boy in a hat and long shirt who I thought was like 25-27 years old. She says "that's Jacob he is like the sweetest guy I know".

the 3 boys that walked in. Jacobs on the right in Black.
Picture not from the game night.

We all start to play a game called Mafia and I was one of the "Mafia" so I got to pick who got killed.
If you don't know what Mafia is look it up and you will understand this better.
After the Mafia kills a person the other people have to try to figure out who the Mafia is- if you caught you are out of the game. Well this kid Jacob look at me and said "you look like a criminal"
I respond with "Me are you kidding I am so innocent" -- I got caught by the cute boy and was out of the game.

After the game I went out on the tramp with a friend and Jacob and his friend Seth followed us out their. We played around but I never spoke to him I just smiled. Then we went back inside and hung out.

Hailee had gone to Massage Therapy school with me, that's how we met, so she was giving a shoulder rub to one of the guys and this kid Seth grabs my arm and pulls me across this table or something and is being a jerk saying "rub my shoulders" so I push on a pressure point and he didn't want anything to do with me! So I switch spots with Hailee and am now sitting by the cute Jacob. He asked if I want a shoulder rub and I said ya that would be awesome. We start to talk and learned that he was 25 and that I was 19 ( he thought i was like 15) I also learned he served his mission in Guatemala for the LDS church. I say "My grandma was born there" thinking so was but it was really just Mexico. He gets all excited and wants to meet her. (He LOVES the Guatemalan people) So he then says how much he loves basketball and I told him I could beat him any day because (lie) I am just that good. So we exchange numbers and then I leave to go home.

When I got home I laid on the couch to pass out and I grab my phone and text him (WHY!?) I guess I am creepy. I text "I am serious about that basketball game" then I fell asleep.
