Our Story

(According to Evan)

So we meet each other around december 2008 but we weren't really friends. We knew who each other were but we never did anything together. We happened to be on an activities committee and thats really how we meet. We got to know each other better during the summer of 2009 when we had an activity at Missy's cabin and we ended up getting to know one another a lot better. We played many games of connect four which were mostly won by me although Missy will tell you otherwise. We both thought that each other was cute but we couldn't really do anything about it at the time.

I always thought Missy was way cute but I wanted to date her even more once we started becoming better friends. We always had a good time together and so we were spending a lot of time together. We started dating each other shortly after that.

The first time we held hands or cuddled was on September 26th. It was after the U of U football game. I was going to go sit with her and her family towards the end of the game but it ended up not working out. But we had planned on hanging out after the game. I went to dinner with my friends and then I was going to meet her at her house. I got to her house and it was late so I tried calling instead of ringing the door bell and after waiting and calling for 15 minutes I decided to go home. Right when I got home she called and apologized because she had fallen asleep but she said I could still come over. And I'm glad that I did because that was when our relationship started to take a different turn. The next day we had our first kiss! I didn't take long until I was head over heels for Missy.

We saw each other pretty much every day even if it was for just 5 minutes. It wasn't even 2 months and I had asked Missy if she wanted to be in a "committed" relationship and she politely said that she wasn't quite ready for it for a few reasons. One was that once we were in a relationship things would progress really fast. Although it was kinda hard to swallow at first I understood and we still dated and still saw each other every day. So pretty much we acted like we were "together" but we didn't have the title. In December right before she went to Hawaii with her family for Christmas she said that she was ready to be in a relationship which made me way happy! I didn't want anyone else to have a shot with Missy! I wanted her all to myself and can you blame me?

We had talked about marriage and we both felt like we would get married eventually. So I started looking for rings while she was in Hawaii. She had explained to me the type of ring she would want. After explaining what Missy had told to the salesman they told me that the correct way to explain it would to say a split shank with a square halo and round center diamond with pavei on the bands. By the end of all the ring shopping I was able to explain just what I was looking for. When Missy got back she eventually decided to go with me to look for rings although she didn't want to. She was nervous going to the first place but after that she loved going! we found a ring that we both loved and made some minor changes to the setting. I wanted to make sure it was what she really wanted so I held buying it at first. Eventually we decided that it was the ring we both wanted. We had to order the ring in her size and it took 3 weeks to get here. It was torture waiting for it to get here! Missy was getting anxious and so was I.  The ring eventually got here but the most important thing is that I am so happy that i found Missy and that she is in my life!  She is my everything! I love her and want to be with her forever.
