Mauwage. (and a little note for TMY)


Hey,
so, I got married Thursday.

I married a really great guy.
Tim.

Now
majority of you who read this know our story
or experienced (somewhat) along with us. ;)

But
some don't
so
I'm going to tell it to you
cause it's good.

Beginning:

There I was, 
sitting in the gym
attending my first "singles ward activity"
it was a Halloween party.

I was carving a pumpkin with my bestie, Rae.
when all of a sudden
in walks this guy.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

I guess you could say it was love at first sight for me.

He came strolling in
casually
talking to everyone around.

I wanted him to talk to me.

We were getting ready to leave
so, I invited him
and a few others
over to Rachel's house to hang out.

When he arrived, I made sure he would sit by me.

I casually pulled out my MacBook Pro (because I thought I was cool)
he inquired about it
we found out that we both loved Mac's.

HELLO.
this was perfect.

We became instant friends.
I had a HUGE crush on this kid.

He teased me constantly.

One time he text me and told me he was at my work place
which he wasn't.
I'm still upset that he tricked me.
My heart about burst when he told me he was there
tsk. tsk.

He was the BIGGEST flirt ever. 
ask any of the girls we hung out with.

I couldn't handle it.

I remember watching a movie with all of our friends.
He and I were sitting by each other.
I asked if I could lay my head on his shoulder
Pretty sure that weirded him out (or did it? :P)

too close

just friends.

I wanted more.

he liked being a bachelor.

lame.

he should've liked ME.


Long story short 

(cause there are just WAY too many stories and highlights to fit into one blog post)

I had had enough.

I was going to date this guy.

I told him to ask me out or to stop flirting with me.

The next day he called me up and asked me out on a date.

We went to Settebello in SLC.

On the way there, the GPS decided to take us to the airport
and we got lost there.
we got caught in a restricted type area
I was sure we were going to get arrested for trespassing or something.

We got out
after many tears from laughter

we had a perfect first date
and second
and a third
and a forth...
and...

I broke up with him.

-WHAT THE HECK, KELSIE.
You've finally got the guy of your dreams
he wants YOU-

I left.

I was scared.

I dated a few other guys but could never get Tim out of my head.

We started hanging out just as friends 
it was so nice to be around him again.

He asked me if he could take me on a date.
I was resistant, but I said yes.

It happened all over again, but this time we ended up getting engaged.
in Ireland no less.

Yeah, he's a keeper. ;)

I can't begin to tell you how much this kid means to me.
He has put up with SO much.
I've put him through the ringer and he's still stuck by my side through it all.
That's commitment and love right there.
the best kind.


He's the best 
kindest
thoughtful
loving
funny
smart aleck (in the best way)
tender-hearted
sweet
hard working
the list goes on
guy.

The guy I had a major crush on for nearly 3 years is now my husband.
HUSBAND!

I still can't wrap my head around it.

Thanks for loving me through my temper tantrums, 
stubbornness, 
sarcasm, 
whining,
 bluntness, 
snorting,
 the impossibility of me telling a story in less than 15 minutes, even if it's about a trip to buy bread,
burping,
 messy car/room, 
and my mushy gooshy love for you, Tim.

Here's to Eternity, cause you're stuck with me! ;)

I love you.
