The start of something good

So this our first post. I've wanted to start a blog for James and I since we got married. The best day of my life so far was the day I got sealed in Logan Utah LDS temple. We got married on my golden birthday, September 22, 2011. It was the most magical day. A lot of things went wrong that day. My hair, being late to the temple, eating too much, but in the end it all worked out and it was a day I will never forget.

I want to start out how we met:
(This is my version, James has a little bit different story)
So fall of 2010, the past couple of month were really hard for me lots of boy drama and my heart was NOT ready for anything serious. The day we met.... I didnt have my first class so American Foundations was my first. Of course it had to be raining and I was running late (waking up an hour later can mess with your schedule). My best friend Rebecca drove me to class. As I walked in right after the prayer I sat in a random seat. (Side Note: I DO NOT sit in random seats. I had my seat and I sat there everyday before this day but for some reason I adverted my seating arrangement's) So I sit next to this random guy. He looked at me for a long time after me sitting down. We didnt talk at all just listened to the teacher lecture and went on with our lives once the bell rang. The next class I sat next to him again, no talking again. Finally after sitting next to him the third time I figured we should introduce ourselves, those were my exact to him. So we introduced ourselves and we talked about his amazing shirt with a boat on it (I still love it to this day). Then from then on we would chat and talk throughout class and whatnot. Sometimes he would walk me to my next class but nothing much past that. Then one day we exchanged phone numbers but I didnt think much of it.

 During the weekend I went to sammys with Rebecca and I saw him there. I remember he was wearing sweats and a t-shirt and a cute black hat (he was sick that day). I picked him out for Rebecca to show her that was the guy from class. I rememeber going to the bathroom and had to walk right past him so we kinda said hello and I introduced rebecca to him and he did the same with Greg his best friend then we went to the bathroom. (I was not cool at all, how gross was that just going to the bathroom). He tried all night to talk to me but unfortunatly my mom wanted to talk to me as well and I didnt get the chance to talk to him, he eventually left without us talking (Sorry my bad)

He always invited me to go watch a movie with him or go her with him but I was always busy and never could (He thought I avoided him, I did not) towards the end of the semester we FINALLY set up a study date for our final. We pick a place in the Hart to study and it was a lot of fun, tragically my brother was in town and got bored with the bookstore and found us. I had to go once again. We never really went on a date in 2010, then we both left to go home for the winter track.

(The story gets better I promise, the mushy stuff is coming) So as I was driving home to WV and he was going to CO I kept texting him and we started a little relationship over texts. He went to Chile for the christmas holiday which totally slipped my mind. I kept texting but there was no response, nothing on facebook nada. SoI resolved all my boy troubles on December 30th. Then in a miraculous chain of events he came home on the 31st. No he wasnt ignoring me he was on vacation and didnt have his phone. I was relived when he texted me back. Then we continued our "texting" relationship, then once again I initiated that we should talk on the phone, texting was good but you can only get to know somebody so much.

That is were our relationship REALLY started. It took me two weeks of talking to him on the phone to know I was going to marry him. It took me about a month and a half to tell him I love him, even though we beating around the bush for a long time. One day we were talking and whenever I thought about something funny he said I would tell myself or anyone around me (besides him) that I loved him, then not catching myself I said it to him over the phone, his reaction being "FINALLY NICOLE I LOVE YOU". The rest is history.

We've been married for a little over four months. He is by far the best husband I could ask for. He is stubborn sometimes but gives in to me a lot. He knows when I feel bad or am upset and he knows exactly when to comfort me. He is one of the only guys that has seen me cry, and definitely the only guy that has held me when I've cried. He is my everything. He is the most amazing man, and I couldn't of asked for a better guy to marry. Even after me telling him no so many times he still came back and wasn't flustered by it at all. Im excited to be able to spend eternity with him and make so many wonderful memories together with our family. I can go on forever about how much I love him, and how much he means to me but I wont. Just know Im nothing without him by my side.

I Love You James Don Cook
