OUR FIRST FEW WEEKS

Ok, so back when Russ and I hit our 5th year "Whatever", I wanted to start writing how we started dating. Our first date, first kiss, first few weeks and what not. But seriously I remember SO much about our first few weeks, it may take me a few weeks to get it all down. So I thought I would start this time with how things started.
Forgive me for the novel. LOL, Like I said I remember almost all of it, down to what we were wearing.
Russ and I were in the same P.E. class Freshman year. He was a "TOTAL NERD" in my book, cause I was all about the older guys... Yeah whatever, They weren't all they were cracked up to be. I never really paid much attention to him. He was a skinny little 9th grader with weird friends. But deep inside I did think he was pretty cute.
Like I said I never paid much attention to him, and to make matters worse 2nd semester, I was in Math class and Russ was "pants-ed" in the doorway, boxers and all. I can say I don't really remember that at all, he still just talks about it all the time and says he was DEVASTATED cause he knew I was in there and had a HUGE crush on me.

Sophomore year I hung out with "The Sixlets" (my girls) ALL THE TIME, they were my life. I turned 16 that year and remember I started driving to school the last few weeks. Randomly one day I started thinking about "Russell Snyder" and wondered where he had gone. I had not seen him all year. Then I saw it, the BIG BLUE FORD. I HAD to know who's truck that was. A few days later when I was pulling out of the parking lot, I looked over (cause the Big Blue Truck almost hit me) and realized THERE HE WAS! He had not moved, or fallen off the face of the earth, but was looking better then ever! And driving the HOTTEST truck I had ever seen. I waved and drove off. That was pretty much the last day of school, so the summer came and went, and he was no longer on my mind. (Sorry dear, LOL, but its true).

At the start of Junior year I started dating Chayse Davis- Football player, and a great guy. We dated for about 2 months and then we broke up. I couldn't seem to get over him though. I went on a few dates here and there, but I still was calling him all the time to hang out. We hung out until March on and off. I was being a total stalker cause I still liked him a lot! Then one night it happened. I called him up, I was with Julie (who Chayse liked) so Chayse said we could go over and hang out. We walked up the stairs and there he was, in his gray hoodie, nice jeans, and black shoes, Russell Snyder (2 weeks before we started dating). I was seriously so shy and didn't know what to say, or why I was being quite, but I was. I was not ready for the day, had a hoodie on myself, hair not done, and I don't think I had make up on. Chayse was a TOTAL jerk! I was stuck on Russ. We left shortly after, cause Chayse made Julie mad. But I knew I had to get Russ!
I saw Russ's truck a few days later down the road (at his house) as I took my little brother to his friends house. I KNEW I had to stop by.

Julie was dating Joey Pututau at the time, and I didn't want to be a 3rd wheel so I took her scooter and drove it over to Russ's. (Wearing my hair down, my bright pink "Dance" headband, tan jacket- that I loved- nice jeans and flip flops. I felt AWESOME!) The rest is history. I took him for the scariest scooter ride of his life. Dropped him off at Chayse's (they went shooting), Julie and I got pulled over as they drove away, and the following week he asked me to Prom. You already know that story. But there it is, How it ALL started!

HOLY SNOW FLAKES!!



I think I am offically over winter! I was SO happy that Spring was here, and then I wake up Sunday morning to THIS!Where the heck did it come from? I thought it was supposed to RAIN in the spring?
Ok-ok, I have lived in Utah long enough to know Utah weather is NEVER what its supposed to be. We get snow in the Summer, and hot days in the Winter. I was still a little shocked to wake up to this much though!

Lastnight while drivin home from Russ's, the snow was coming down in flakes bigger then I have EVER seen. (and I am not kidding I have lived here for 22 years and they were HUGE!)

I had to take more pictures of it. These do not do them justice, but I am tellin you, they were VERY big! It was cool.

Anyway, those are my feelings about that.... So, lets pray this cold GOES AWAY!! Driving this morning was a NIGHTMARE, and I am ready for a TAN!

5 YEARS AGO TODAY!!

Today is Russ and My 5th year... Whatever.. Anniversary or what not! (Kind of awkward to call it an "Anniversary", but its from when we started dating)
I seriously cannot believe its been 5 years!! That's crazy!!!

5 years ago today, he called me for the first time, and said... "Hey!! come on over!" (we had talked before, but I had never gone to his house to "hang out" with him)
I got off the phone and my mom said... Who was that. I quickly replied... "This boy named Russell Snyder... who I think is SOOOO Cute!" I headed out the door immediately, and drove down to his house.
From the minute I walked in the door, we just knew we were never going to be apart.
He ASKED me to prom about 5 minutes after I walked in... Of course you cannot just ASK a girl to go to prom with you, so I said "You cannot just ASK like that, you need to do something fun!" We had a lot of fun the first day, and it never had one of those "awkward moments" like a first date.
*He asked me to prom the following morning with a basket of candy and little pieces of paper cut up saying "Will- you-go-to-prom-with-me?" Very cute! I responded with a VERY BIG "YES" on the old '77. And filled the truck with candy bars.
So I NEED to say... Russ, I have LOVED EVERY minute!!
I still miss you when we are apart, even though I know I will see you hours later!
You have been an AMAZING boy friend, the love of my life, and most of all the BEST FRIEND I have EVER had!
I love you babe!!
Happy 5th year... WHATEVER!!

"I BET YOU DINNER THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!"

Last night Russ and I were out working and having a good time, when he started being a sarcastic dork.
I told him that he had the BIGGEST heart EVER... Cause he was being such a smart alec. He said "whatever" (like I didn't know what I was talking about). So I said... You have a HUGE hand which means you have a HUGE heart. And your BRAIN... How does it fit in your head?? Both your hands are GI-NORMOUS! He looked at me and with out even thinking goes... That’s not true. (HA- I know this is true) So I said... OH REALLY? I bet from the bottom of your palm, to your crease on your elbow, is the same length as your foot.
He got so excited and said "I bet you dinner that's not true!!!"
I shook his hand and said “DEAL!”
He quickly grabbed his measuring tape, measured his foot, and goes "10 and a 1/2 Inches.... Well.... I guess you could be right." He was VERY hesitant to even measure his arm cause he knew he was wrong. Measured his arm, and looked up completely stunned that I was right.
Let it be known... I was actually smarter them him on something!!
After he figured that out, he goes... so is it true that your hand is as big as your face... I am not that stupid to fall for that anymore... so I just said yes.
There are SERIOUSLY so many things on our bodies that do that. I want to investigate to see what other ones are out there, cause they are seriously fascinating!
I know from finger tip to finger tip is how tall you are... I will find out more and inform you.
Lesson learned, ladies... if you want a free meal or really anything on your man, just use your basic knowledge and you will be granted your wish!

FACEBOOK PHOTO

Ok, I was just on my Facebook and saw that one of my OLD neighbor friends added a picture from when we were little. (Thanks Amanda for the pic!) I was laughing so hard, and had to display it!
That is me on the far right... if you could not tell. LOL
