Our Story

Cheers from us to you!

I wish I could say that the story of "us" was an exciting one, but to my dismay it is far from exciting. To be very honest the story is very typical, but for us it is the best story! (Obviously or we would not be here to write this blog! Ha) We met 2 years ago through mutual friends (thanks Chris and Maggie!), I had just got out of a tough, long-term relationship and Josh's career choice at the time kept him preoccupied from having any kind of serious relationship. We initially stated that we were perfectly fine with hanging out, getting to know each other as friends and not really expecting much more. A little background info on myself, I am a hopeless romantic, I truly believe in love, and the fact that everyone has a second half out there just waiting for you to stumble upon. Well, unfortunately for myself I started to fall hard for Josh, I mean who wouldn't; he's funny, caring, talented, confident, driven, in touch with his faith, a family man, exceptionally passionate about anything he puts his mind too, and as he would tell you great at just about everything. (Ha oh no he is not boastful at all...) So one night after we had been hanging out for a few weeks I mustered up the courage to tell him how I really was starting to feel. Must to my surprise, after spilling my heart out to him, he turned me down! He told me that he really could never see himself settling down, or having a family. Talk about a huge smack in the face! I was left completely confused, and down right ticked off! I really felt we had been connecting and things were really heading in the right direction. So we went back to being friends. The next night after we had our little falling out, I was invited over for a group dinner. I seriously contemplated not going because I was in fear of the sheer awkwardness we were going to have towards each other, but decided to go regardless.  As I had expected, sheer awkwardness to the fullest. We hardly even looked at each other, or made small talk, and to make matters worse after dinner he literally hid up in his room.  So to end the extreme discomfort I had clearly caused him all night I decided to leave. It was no sooner that I got to the stop sign at the end of his hill that I got a text from him. The text read "I have made a mistake, I can't just be your friend, I am starting to fall for you too. Can we try to work things out." At this point my head was spinning, I didn't know if I should turn around and go back to talk about this or just play hard to get. Naturally I decided hard to get was he way to go because I was not about to get screwed over a second time. So I tried to play the "maybe friends is the best thing for us" game for the next few times we saw each other, but all the lead to was me being more and more into him. No matter how much I tried to act like I was just not into the idea of an "us", he stayed persistent.  Finally, after trying to pretend I wasn't totally falling for him (which I guess I'm a very bad pretender because he said he knew all the while that I was into him!), I gave in and accepted the fact that I was totally head over heels for him. After that we have pretty much been inseparable, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
