Connect (5 minute prompt)
I wrote this while the kids were asleep,
Hailey was reading and Blake was watching Fixer Uppers (he’s a keeper).
I think Blake and I connected from the minute
we met. I won’t forget it. I worked at the college library at BYU-Idaho
and was walking on the second floor and he stopped me and asked me to help him
find The Cat in the Hat in Latin. I
thought he was the cutest guy I had ever seen and loved his shy smile and
friendly manner. We searched for the
book and couldn’t find it. In the
process, I learned he was going to be a doctor and had served a two year
mission for our church to Spain. I was a Spanish minor, so that was
awesome. We parted ways and I thought he
was pretty awesome. A few days later, I
was taking a nap in the library (don’t judge me) and he woke me up and then
asked me on a date. I told him I couldn’t
because I was dating someone. But I
thought about it all through American Heritage and was pretty annoyed to be
dating someone at that time. Well, me and that someone took a “break”. I was studying at the library one day and I
was looking for “Christian Slater look-alike/Blake”. I couldn’t find him, so I
said a little prayer. “Help me to find that guy if I am supposed to.” Wouldn’t you know it, there he was thirty
seconds later. I asked him if he still
wanted to take me out and he did. We
connected again on that first date and I knew I already knew him. We already knew each other. Sometimes you meet someone you just connect
to. It was so easy with him. I’m always
so grateful that it was the easiest decision of my life to marry him.
