Nick and I became friends almost 7 years ago when we met in a
production of High School Musical with Actors Youth Theater in Mesa, AZ.
The first time we ever talked, he hit on me, But then he found out i
was only 13, and he was 15 so needless to say he dropped that idea haha
but man did i have the
biggest crush on him. The whole school
year after that (oh yeah we went to the same school together too) he
would say hi to me and I would melt. It was embarrassing. But anyway,
That summer We were in another show together - Aida - This show was were
we became really good friends. He drove me to and from practices and
performances, which fueled my teenage girl crush even more. In the show
we were paired as a couple throughout the whole show...Foreshadow? ;)
The joke that summer, and following school year was that when he got
back off his mission we'd get married, but neither of us actually
thought it'd happen. Then about halfway through the school year he
invited me to go ice blocking with him and some of his friends, i about
peed myself with excitement over the fact that he actually wanted to
hangout with me! So i dressed up all cute and what not, got there and
talked with him for about 2 minutes before he left with another girl and
i was alone with all of his friends that i had never met before... I
was angry! And from that point on that teenage crush was gone, and in
it's place was a big ol bitter grudge. We would still talk now and then
but not as much as we used to. Then he left on his mission and we didn't
write so we didn't talk for about 2 years. While he was on his mission i
dated plenty of other people, but oddly enough i always seemed to
either compare those other guys to him or just randomly think about him,
but i would always just brush it off as nothing. Then on September 11,
2012 he got home from his mission and everything changed. A couple days
after that i was on my break at work and i go to check my phone and i
had 3 missed calls and 2 messages from him asking me on a date, and I'm
thinking "Is this real life? We haven't talked in 2 years? Really?" We
weren't able to go on that date that he asked me on so he made me
promise that i would come to his open house, i agreed but i really
didn't want to go cause part of me still held that stupid grudge about
how he ditched me that one time, but of course i ended up going. As soon
as i walked in and saw him, we made eye contact and i got those same
old butterflies that i used to get (cheesy, I know, but it's what
happened) by the end of the open house we had planned a date for the
following Wednesday. The date was only supposed to be a 3ish hour date, 5
o'clock dinner and a movie and then he'd take me home, but no, we hit
it off within the first 15 minutes and that 3 hour date turned into a 7
hour date because we didn't want to leave each other. By the end of that
date i knew i wanted to marry him. A week after that we had our first
kiss, 2 days after that we became an official couple
about a month after that we decided we wanted to get married and a couple weeks later we were engaged..
5 Months later we were sealed in the Mesa Temple for time and all eternity on March 7, 2013..
...And
1 month after we got married i got pregnant! And it has been such a
blessing. We're having a boy and His name is going to be Liam Michael
Bowler, and we are already so in love with him. Can't wait to hold our
little man :)
