how we met...

OKAY SO I HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH A VERY DEAR FRIEND OF MINE AND DECIDED TO SAVE IT BECAUSE IT WAS THE STORY OF HOW DUSTAN AND I CAME TO BE TOGETHER... I HAVE BEEN ASKED SEVERAL TIMES TO SHARE THIS STORY AND i AM SO BAD AT DOING THESE THINGS BUT I JUST DECIDED TO POST THIS

WARNING SOME PARTS MIGHT GET A LITTLE INTENSE ha ha ha

honestly its so crazy how this guy came into my life and how things came together. we honestly believe there was divine intervention in our lives this last year. He is a returned missionary who is finished with his bachelors and working on his doctorate and never been married. ha ha my cute little virgin (i only say this because i have been married and have two kids) who is so amazing with this unbelievable testimony

well its kind of a funny story...
my dad is the institute director at the mesa state college
and really I was a bit bitter for being out here. Sometimes I work fifty to sixy hours some weeks.... but my job and how i got it is a mystery all on its own
but i came here
looking for a couple part time jobs to support us
and stumbled on the assistant manager job at American Eagle Outfitters

so i got the job because of my passed manager experience
and the manager LOVED me so with in a week i had it
about a month later she lets me know because she is so impressed with me she has decided to go elsewhere in management that had better oppertunities and i guess wanted me to be her successor...
i was in shock
so a few weeks later I guess I was running the business
by this point i had been going to the family ward with me kids and i was going crazy for lack of social life
I decided i would go to the dumb singles ward here at GJ
Making a huge joke out of it told my parents i was going to marry the first guy i saw there imagining some fatty sitting on the couch
of course i was running late so i walked in ... and at the exact moment he walked in the doors directly acrossed from me.

my first thought was wow! cute guys actually go to singles ward
h ah a ha
but wait
it gets better
I kid you not he was the only guy in that whole entire ward that didnt talk to me
and that was freaking annoying
because i was getting attention left and right and there was no way I was going to talk to him first!!
So i went home... my dad said any luck? ha ha and i told him to go find out what FHE group this Justin kid was in because i heard someone say his name in the halway (later i come to find out it was Dustan).
he came back and said there were a few justins and didnt know which one

ya so i just let that leave my mind
i rarely went to church because of the job but he was always there on the weeks i was but it didnt matter cause the idiot wouldnt talk to me anyway, he was just the cutie that always sat in front of me
plus i was anti getting involved for years again anyway
so bout 6 weeks passed and while working i noticed him walk in my store with his mommy! ha ha ha

thought it was the cutest thing ever! I finish all of what i was doing interviewing walked over as they were checking out, just to observe... sold him a crap load of more stuff. got a credit card and then came to find out he had previously worked there over holliday in the stockroom and we happend to need help this holiday in our stock room!
so i hired him on the spot!~
called him in the next day to work and he was so wonderful, always just a phone call away and would come running anytime i needed him
time went on
sparks started flying immediately
he happened to help me so much when i was so stressed
8:17pmGillian
wow... I love this story!
8:18pmKadee
because i stress so easily and he always put me to ease
so i new there was alot going on but was so in denial
plus he was an associate and i wasn;t crossing the lines it was to unproffesioal

so.... he would bring me food knowing i hadnt eaten stay on floorsets alone with me till three oclock in the morning just so i would worry about getting things done
and one night around three i broke down in tears
i just was so overwhelmed
and he came over and decided to hold me. ... Gilly at that moment i knew i was in so much trouble!
just the passing by touching and stuff made me so excited but this feeling when he held me was so unbelievable
i swear i have never felt anything like it or could have even imagined something so powerful.
so i was scared but so in need of that feeling. We closed down shop once i got it together and i went home
a couple days later he wanted to go hang out and i agreed
.............SORRY! YOUR GETTING THE LONG VERSION! I WASNT GOING TO DO THIS!!!!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>
so he insisted coming to pick me up at my house and i kept refusing cause that was too much like a date.

but being the gentleman that he is. he did anyway. it was late and after work... he knew most all of my drama as it was, so why he was still interested i dont know. But we just went for a drive and he took me to a place up on the monument that over looked the whole city and it was so beautiful
i was freezing so that gave him an excuse to hold me to keep me warm! Once again i am so enwrapped into this feeling but so amazingly scared of it all cause it had to be too good to be real.
it got really cold so we sat in his car and talked for ever and his hand came close and this whole time i had been just hoping he would kiss me because i wanted so much to know what it felt like

his hand came close so i took it and held it and that was all the sign he needed to go in for the kiss .... ha ha ha i have never felt such a thrill in my life! COme to find out I am only his 7th kiss. and he is 23 now 24. so after that i went home my dad asked how it was i said good. he said do you like him

i said too much
he asked what i ment and i said i did not know if i like him because he is too perfect too good! so i dont know. and his response was well that makes sence... a great looking guy who treats you well and is perfectly amazing ya i would question that one too... basically making fun of me!
oh well anyway

i tried to run but found it impossible he kept persuing and we came to the decision he had to quit. So we could date. so he did and one thing led to this and here we are
the funny thing is. is he was living in orem just graduated byu
and got into a fight with his brother which just never ever happend
decided to move home that day
didnt know why just felt it was ment to be that way

and that was the same week my parents moved me here
we both were going to our family ward the first month or so and we both decided to go to singles ward for the first time the exact same sunday
so it was both of our first times
both late

walking in the exact same time at opposite ends
ofcourse we were both stubborn and would talk to each other. but he went home told his parents about one really cute girl he saw
weeks later found out where i worked. asked his mommy to go with him shopping my store to check me out. The one girl from singles ward.
didnt want know if he should take the job cause he was interested in me
his mommy told him here was his chance to find out the reall me before making his decision
and that was that
SO FREAKING WEIRD!
