Our Story, part 1

One of my New Years resolutions every year is to be better at keeping a journal. And frankly, I'm just not very good at it. I prefer blogging for some strange reason. But this is my journal and I do plan on putting it into a book one day. I have the worse memory, and I am quite forgetful. There are things that I want to remember and never forget. I want to leave my children something, so that they will know who I was and what I stood for. Therefore, I also want them to know how I felt about being a daughter of God, a wife and a mother. I want them to know how I felt about each of them and others who are important to me in my life.

Some of these posts will go on for several weeks. Like my husbands, I want to write down our little story. So let's get started.
Josh is my best-friend. We were friends for about a year before we started dating. I met him at Hurst. This is one of those stories for us, where I know the spirit was guiding me. One day I was driving down the road and I drove past Hurst, and thought, "I wonder if they are hiring?" I had a great job, that I loved and was making quite a bit of money doing, but I pulled in the parking lot, went inside and applied for a job and was hired on the spot. The cashier manager's name was Andie and she also had a sister who worked there, named Trina. Kym was another one of the cashiers that also worked there. At the time I had no idea how these 3 girls would become some of my best-friends and change my life in more way's that one. But that's a bunch of different posts!!!

So shortly after I started, Kym got married to Aaron. Aaron and Josh grew up across the street from one another and are best-friends. So Aaron says to me one day, "I have this friend I want to hook you up with." Whatever, I thought. I was running around with a certain Richfield boy at the time. Aaron brought Josh into the store with him one afternoon. "Cute, " I thought, and I really liked him right off, but we were both had other things happening. And as a side note, Josh thought I was a bit on the obnoxious side the day we met. I was a little to hyper for him! I still remember that I was filling the pop machine when they came it. Crazy! We all started to hang out in a big group. There was Trina, Andie, Kym and I. Then we had Aaron, Josh, Adam, and Ammon. Also mixing in this group were my little group of Piute friends, Colby and Ryan, sometimes Tom, and then there was Cowboy, Triscuit, for a minute there was Shauna and lot's of other people int he mix, but that was the majority of us. Now the funny thing, is that we all dated within the group. Which, made it a little awkward at times. Can't even get into it, because that would take me a week of just typing!!!!

So Josh and I got to be pretty good friends. We spent that first year all hanging out and we watched each other as we dated other people. We both liked each other, but it always seemed like one of us was dating someone, when the other wasn't and so we just never got together.

Kym and Aaron's home was our hang out spot. They had a town home over in Dixie Downs where we all practically lived. There are a lot of great stories from that house. It's the place where Josh first kissed me and where Trina and Ammon started dating. It's where we played pool in the garage every night and spent countless hours sitting out on the lawn just talking.
