Today marks our fourth year dating
anniversary. I felt it was fitting to look back on the last four years and
reminisce on our past. So let’s start from the night we started dating.
Actually let’s begin with the night before…We were in Kansas City for one of
our first Southwestern Events as managers, Fall Ball. On Friday, October 9, we
were all hanging out at the Embassy. I was talking with some girlfriends and
Matt came and got me. We took a walk, inside. Now if you have stayed at the
Embassy at the plaza you know it is in a big square so we kept walking in a
square. We walked, and we walked. Finally Matt got around to what he wanted to
say. I remember going back to my room that night being totally confused on
whether we were dating or not. The next morning we were in meetings pretty much
the whole day. It was super awkward because he wouldn't sit by me nor did he
say anything. We then broke up by schools so again I didn't get a chance to ask
him. Saturday night we had planned to go out for dinner before the ball that
night. As we were getting ready to go Jess kept asking me if we were dating or
not. I said I still did not know so she said she would take care of it. After
all, she was the one that pretty much set us up in the first place!
So Jess, Andy, Matt and I went to
dinner and had a great time. We then went over to meet up with some more people
from our group at the Cheesecake Factory. I remember Jess and I went upstairs
to the bathroom and she said she would ask him now. We were coming down the
stairs at the same times the boys were coming up. We stopped in the middle to
chat and Jess just flat out asked Matt, “So are you two dating?” I quickly
responded “no.” I have never seen such a look. Matt seemed pretty baffled but
recovered quickly. He said we would be soon. Of course I was anxious. We headed
over to the ball and were hanging out with lots of friends for the next couple
of hours. Finally we were dancing and it turned to a slow song.
During the song, I couldn't tell
you what it was, I know that would pry make the story a lot better right now,
he was saying things like, “So we aren't dating?” I kept saying no. Now don’t
be feeling sorry for him, he had basically already asked me out twice at this
point and I was still hanging around him…Once it was a “hypothetical situation”
in which I said yes. And the night before it was, “we can make this work
right?” As in we could make driving back and forth between Lincoln and Kearney work
because that was going to be sssoooo hard…So we get to this moment. And finally
he says it, “So do you want to go out with me?” (Okay, I’m sorry I don’t
actually remember his EXACT words, so that could be a misquote….See why I am
doing this now, I will soon forget everything!) Anyways, I said yes. And then
we were officially dating.
Four years ago, I never would have guessed that one eventful
weekend would lead to the life we have now. I am forever thankful!
