It's Our One Year Anniversary

I'm new at this whole anniversary thing. I've never had one. In fact, neither Becca or I have ever had a relationship last long enough to require one. How great is that? One year ago today, we embarked on a very long and treacherous journey in the blogging world. We've had our ups and downs but I think one year later we have learned to live and love in a way we could never have imagined. So here's to one year of absolute blogging bliss. 

Today's blog post is dedicated to all the bad dates it took to get us to where we are today. 

Becca--Single

Ally--Single

Ashley--Single

Kate--Single

Cassie--New relationship (you go girl)

Rrrosa--Long-term boyfriend

Becca:  As some of you might know, Becca has had a bit of a history with recurring allergic reactions. She hasn't had one in a few years (knock on wood), but she used to have them fairly often. The problem was that we didn't know what she was allergic to, so the reactions would come on without any warning. Well one evening Becca was on a date with this boy. The date was going fine until the drive back to our house. Becca felt an allergic reaction coming on and realized she had to give herself an epi-pen shot to stop the reaction. So she jumped in the back seat and told her date not to look while she took her pants off and stabbed herself in the leg with the epi-pen. The recently returned missionary drove at an exceptionally slow pace with his eyes bulging out of his head the whole way home. Upon arriving back to the house, Becca bolted from the car with a quick, "See ya" and left the poor kid to sort out what had just happened in the back seat of his car. 

Ally: Met in the Liberty Square (apartment complex in Provo) hot tub.  Asked her out for the next night. They went to Utah Lake for 3 hours and sat in his car. He put his hand on her knee and said, "Can I touch you there?" To which she hesitantly replied, "Sure..." He was currently aspiring to be in the Mormon Tabernacle Handbell Choir (does that even exist?). While sitting in the car they only listened to EFY music to stay spiritual for his splits with the missionaries on Friday and Saturday nights and his full-time job at the MTC. He told her he'd told his Mom all about her and asked if it was okay to tell people they were dating now (in the middle of their first date). The next day he called and she looked at her phone and immediately put it down. He was right behind her. Then he gave her a hand full of gerber daisies and said he just couldn't wait until May 16 (it was March), her birfday. She later had her friend call him to "break up". 

Ashley:  She was set up on a blind date who showed up an hour late. He took her off-roading in his "sweet Subaru". Then they went to a gas station to fill up a bunch of jugs of gasoline and drove out to the old Payson mine shaft. They were in a big group and the guys proceeded to put paper towels in the gasoline jugs, light them on fire and throw the "gasoline bombs" down the mine shaft. The cops showed up and threatened to get them all kicked out of BYU. Needless to say, Ashley never saw him again. Lucky girl whoever ends up with that cat. 

Kate: My dad made me go out with the son of this guy he knew at work. He insisted on picking me up even though he lived in Murray. He arrived at 6PM sharp, five minutes later I was telling him I couldn't be home late because I had to "get up early" the next day(little trick I learned from Seinfeld). We met up with his childhood "bud" and his girlfriend, went to dinner and then headed to Murray for a "surprise" (seriously?). Well, the surprise turned out to be two-in-one!! The first was that I got to meet his WHOLE family (on the first date). Then we went into the backyard and played board games in a tent. A tent. 7 hours later (1AM) he was taking me home where I might've fallen asleep while he was rambling on and on about how it might be hard for us to date when he went back to Utah State and I went to Provo (big worry of mine too). I call this my marathon date.

Cassie:  She got asked out by this guy in her ward. He asked her to bring sandwiches because he didn't want to spend money on dinner. He showed up wearing a purple, velour shirt (nuff said). When Cassie walked out of her room wearing jeans, he said, "Ew, you should probably wear a skirt cause we're going to an outdoor symphony." Cassie reluctantly went to change and when she came out in a skirt he sighed with a smile, looking her up and down (yuck). The "outdoor concert" turned out to be the soundtrack to The Lord of The Rings. While eating the apples he brought for dinner, he started rubbing her back. Cassie leaned forward to escape his pale, bony hands and gave him a dirty look. The rest of the semester Cassie had to pretend that she had a boyfriend so LOR boy would stop stalking her.  Oh and did I mention that he has his own jewelry making business? Could this get any better? Nope. 

Rrrosa: Never had a bad date in her life. Figures. She's got the body of a dog goddess.
