The Beginning

I love our "story". It's kind of messy but that is what makes it so great. So here it goes...

Austin and I never went to the same school. Back in 9th grade gym class I distinctly remember my friend talking about "the hottest guy" that lived by her and went to PG. Turns out that hot babe I'd never met (yet) was Austin. 
Austin and I cannot remember how we met... weird right?? I mean, I remember the silliest things from clear back when, but for the life of me I can't remember the first time I saw Austin or how we even came to exchange phone numbers. We shared a lot of mutual friends, and when we get talking about the past we're often like 'hey, I was there that night!' or 'so and so was like my best friend', but we can't ever remember meeting until 10th grade (2004). We've kind of come to the conclusion that we met through our friends Nate Creer and Ashleigh Bucceri.
I'd love to say that we had this cute little fling, but that's not how I remember it. My first memory of Austin is us parked at Cedar Ridge Elementary and making out in his truck...haha. I was totally crushing on Austin...I mean who wouldn't?? Hot baseball player that went to a different school?! Duh! And this is where we disagree on our 'story'. Austin totally used me as a make-out buddy. I wanted to hang out with him outside of the elementary parking lot and he blew me off. I was so mad and we quit talking. He's CONVINCED it was the other way around and when he asked to hang out I told him I had a boyfriend. So you can choose your side ;)
After our sophomore year fling we went our separate ways. He graduated from PG and I from Lone Peak. At that time we had completely different friends and never hung out. I went to college at UVU and lived with my friends in Lehi, while Austin had moved to Arizona to play baseball at Chandler Gilbert. I believe this is about the time when my brother, Chance, started hanging out with Austin randomly. During these years our only connection was being 'facebook friends'.
Fast forward to 2010. At this time we had many mutual friends again and Austin was starting to hang out with Chance more often. We were both in and out of relationships with other people, so in June when he'd asked me to hang out I kept blowing him off thinking he was going to get back with his ex any day now. On the 4th of July, he'd asked me to hang out and I told him I was hanging out at my house with my family. Wellll.... my friend Brie was there with me and little to my knowledge she was texting Nic. She asked if it'd be ok if he came over. I said sure! Then I asked who he was with... "Austin and Carson". I was so embarrassed that I'd told him I wouldn't hang out with him, but he ends up at my house anyway...lol. We hung out all night and the next morning went to breakfast. At breakfast was the first time I realized I had a connection with Austin again.
And that, my friends, is how My Love and I got reconnected after 6 years. Stay tuned for the next post...Our dating life! Trust me, it gets interesting...to say the least.
