If you know me at all... then you know I am a
tremendously huge Johnny Depp fan. Duh.
Well, for this little story of how I finally got Mike to "ask me out" that is an important little fact.
I first saw Mike at a football banquet in December of 2007. He was a Snow College football coach and I was fortunate enough to help out with the bowl game banquet for the team. That was the extent of our our interaction... just seeing each other. But I asked my friend Kaylee about him & she said that she had been going on dates with his roommate & could definitely get me a date with that Cute Face Mike... and thus the name Cute Face Mike was born.
So Spring semester started back up & not much progress was made throughout the semester with Cute Face Mike. I became really good friends with Mike's roommates as I started to go over to his apartment in attempt to hang out with him but Mike did not want much to do with me... sheesh. In all my attempt to get Mike's attention however, one of Mike's roommates started to have a crush on me & asked me out on dates and really threw a wrench in on my plans! ha ha. But then the semester ended uneventfully.
So over the summer we would text a tiny bit here and there. He still didn't really want much to do with me. (What a jerk right!?) And then one day I got super brave (over text... so dunno if that really is as brave.. haha) and just told him that I liked him & blah blah blah....
Well apparently Mike was with his buddies & showed them the text & they just thought that was about the funniest thing in the world. (Embarrassing much?! YA!) And he just responded back with something along the lines of "Well, I know my roommate really likes you so I don't want to step on any toes. We will see what happens in the fall." Boo.
So then comes a new year at Snow: Fall of 2008. I was stoked to be going back and to be living with my best buds.. situation couldn't have been better! And, I was very stubborn and was going to keep trying to date Mike. Luckily things were not awkward when I saw Mike after my summer text confession, haha. So we continued to talk and hang out here and there. I even threw Mike a surprise bday deal that he showed up SUPER late to & by the time he arrived I had to run my roommate to the nearest hospital due to kidney stones. Wasn't ideal.
It was after that point though that it seemed like things started to change... I can't even describe what it was or how but I just knew things were different between me & Mike.
So.. yes, FINALLY he asked me on a date to watch Sweeney Todd, and of course I was all over that. That was probably the only night I nearly stayed up all night long... we watched the movie, talked, cuddled and I even got a long awaited kiss. It was perfect. After that Mike & I became a real thing & I have been the happiest girl since!!! I love Mike with all my heart & I am so grateful he eventually gave in and gave me a chance. He has blessed my life so much and I cannot wait to spend forever with him!
I have to say... I do not think I am ready to put back on the glamorous (BIG laugh) Weber State nursing scrubs! I cannot believe how fast summer rushed by & now it is back to school.
We spent most of our time relaxin, playin with my baby cousin Mitch, rockin tube wars or trying to get up on the wakeboard & surf board! Unfortunately, I didn't take very many pics but most of the ones I got were pics of us playin with Mitch!! I couldn't get enough pics of Mike & Mitch.. 
It was such a blast and I am so grateful my cute hubby got to come along! He makes everything more fun. It was great to spend so much time with my family as well. It's a crazy adjustment not seeing them all the time so I really treasure the time we spend together.
