Reed & I ended up going to Rexburg together for a weekend. It was probably the most fun I have had in a while. We spent the whole weekend with Natasha & his best friend who also goes to BYUI. We went to the park, watched a movie, went long boarding, ate tons of pizza, had a bonfire, & much more that I can't even remember. I was able to learn a lot about him on the 3 hour drive there & back, & obviously spending the weekend with him. I definitely fell for him that weekend. Everything about him was perfect. He's cute, loving, spiritual, kind, giving, & so much more.
The next week, he invited me to his sisters mission call opening. I was kind of freaking out because that meant I was going to meet the rest of his family. But it turned out to be super fun & I had nothing to worry about. Since then I have met his whole immediate family & most of his extended family. They are such awesome people & they treat me as if I'm already part of the family.
We have hung out so many times since then, even though it was hard finding time between both of our jobs. We became official about a month after talking. So yes, I have a boyfriend!
Now here's the crazy part. We are planning on getting married in December! We just know that we are right for each other. We have prayed & asked Heavenly Father so many times if this is the right thing, & every time I get this warm feeling inside that it is right. I know I want to spend eternity with Reed. He has told me so many times that he also wants to be with me forever.
Here's our plan:
August
- Spend a week with him & his family at their cabin
- Go down to Florida for a week so he can meet my family
- Get engaged
- Move to Logan, Utah to be close to him while he attends USU
December
- Get married for time & all eternity
August could not come fast enough. As much as there is to look forward to, I somehow forget that I'm moving back to Rexburg next week to start Spring semester. I'm going to be 3 hours away from him for the next 3 1/2 months. We are going to visit each other at least every other weekend but it's going to be so hard to be away from him day after day. We have talked a lot about it & we know we will be able to find a way to get through it. It is just going to be a challenge we are going to have to overcome as a couple. But I know we can do it.
So yeah, that is my life right now. I can't wait for the future. There is so much in store for us. I will definitely be keeping you all up to date on what is happening.
I would love to answer any questions or write about anything so if you have any questions or suggestions, please comment & I will love to answer or write about it :)
