beau + lindee

i was looking through old pictures and was thinking about the memories that went along with each one.

so,

 i decided to share our crazy story of how we got to where we are.

if you are bored then read on:)

beau and i were both friends with kara and saw each other very often at her apartment. 

it was always a party at her apartment until 12 a.m.

...which was curfew and beau and i would both walk home then.

we would have good chats along the way.

 halfway home, he would head for his apt and me to mine which were separate ways.

after a bit of going our separate ways, he started walking me home every night.

first, it was just to the apartment complex entrance. then to the apartment door.

my apartment manager would see us talking and warn us he had to leave before curfew.

as soon as he got home he would text me until we fell asleep. i always fell asleep first.

we were buds & did everything together

then, one day he told me he liked me.

i knew deep down i liked him so after a little while we started dating.

but,

 i told him i didn't want to date exclusively.

it was my first semester in college and i was still figuring everything out.

i was a bad girl....

i would go out on dates with guys and beau would wait at my apartment until i got back.

sometimes he was even at my apartment when they came to pick me up.

i know. i know. it's terrible.

anyway,

we both didn't have cars so we walked everywhere.

and we walked everywhere together.

after awhile he broke up with me...

{so thats where HE'S terrible, right?}

just kidding. i know everything happens for a reason.

when he did i told him i'd never date him again so he shouldn't even ask.

a few months went by..

i would see him occasionally and say hi.

honestly, i didn't have hard feelings at all.

towards the end of the semester i started dating another boy

then...

beau started texting me..just saying hi and being friendly.

i went home for winter break and saw beau a ton {since we are both from fresno}

i still had my guard up towards him.

after a while, he told me he liked me again 

and asked for another chance to date.....

this time, i had some figuring out to do 

i dated both the boys for about a month but, i knew deep down it was always beau.

i like to stick to my word but, with this one i knew i couldn't.

so, we started seeing eachother again.

meeting up after class, going to subway...you name it.

it was back to how it was from the beginning.

i told him i wanted to take things really slow and refused to kiss him for the first two months. sorry if that is t.m.i.

he told me he would do whatever it took!

honestly, we had the best time when we were together

and have created many memories.

after dating awhile in rexburg we came back to fresno.

dated more in fresno

got engaged

and sealed the deal on 8/20/10

i can't believe its been over a year

but,

 its been the best year

p.s.

everyone has a story, right?
