As one of my best friend's birthday just passed I think back to 2005. Four years ago I was falling head over heals for one of my friends named Kyle Brown. Kyle and I had been friends for a while. We were in the same FHE group and we had a calling together. He was this VERY attractive guy that would come hang out at our apartment. He was one of the first people I noticed in the ward and I hate to admit but I would ask him to fix my computer just so I could "check him out."

On November 14th (I know the date because it corresponded so closely with my friend's birthday) Kyle blew me away by asking me out on a date - A DATE!!! We had been friends for a while-since school started-and then he asked me out. Of course I did everything girls do convincing myself that he just wanted to take me out as friends. It was completely platonic. When the group we were going to go bowling (that's right bowling) with bailed out on us, we decided to go alone. I had never been soooo nervous. The date was awkward thanks to me. I refused to give him a hug goodbye and just pointed out how awkward I felt. To my surprise though, he asked me out AGAIN about five days later. I still remember getting off the phone and running to the front room to do a happy dance with my roommates when I told them.

I was hooked and I guess Kyle was too because a year and a half later we got married. I am amazed how everything worked out. Now we have a little boy and life is sooooo good. I cannot imagine life without Kyle now. It's exciting to know that we will be together forever.
