Love Story Chapter Uno

Well first to start this wonderful story it is the beginning of February 2010.  I was working as a baker at Smart Cookie Company and lets just say my life was pretty pathetic.  With working 50 hours a week and having to wake up at four in the morning I didn't get around to do anything.  I had graduated from high school the last year and was working to get some money saved up.

 I came home one day after a long days of baking thousands of cookies.   When I came home my sister had her friend over Kayla Gogan.  After talking it was decided that Kayla was going to set me up with her brother Tyler.  HA you know how those things work.  They don't.  So I just blew it off

I couple days later my sister informed me that they had given Tyler my number.  HA again you know how these type of things work. They don't.  So once again I just blew it off.  Then the unexpected happened.  Yep I got a text message, not as good as a phone call, but hey it was working somewhat.

After days of pointless texting he finally decided to call and as me on a date.  Except he didn't really ask me on a date.  I was asked hey you want to go play today?  What on earth? Go play? Who does this boy think he is.  After a lot of talk with my girlfriends and mom, I decided to go.  I was so nervous.  I had never met this boy had no idea what he looked like or how he was.  Pretty much a blind date, no what a lets go play.... this boy.

He came and picked me up and well what do you know he was cute and didn't smell bad.  This date was already going well, if it even was a date.  We immediately started talking and it was so easy to talk to each other.  It ended up being the best first date of all time. (Clarification: I realized it was a date when he payed for my ice cream, and well treated it like a date) Of going and getting ice cream and hanging out in Ikea.  We talked for hours and hours late into the night.  The chemistry was definitely there.

Yes this is an actual picture of our first date.  It was
taken on Tyler's phone.

We already were wanting to see each other constantly.  We got along so well we didn't even have to try to talk or come up with something to do.  The hand holding and snuggling began.  It was now February 10th and I wouldn't be seeing Tyler for a couple of days.  Valentines day was approaching at the bakery and let me just tell you it is complete HELL. Working 18 hours a day, yeah I would say HELL.  I had so many orders and so many people come in for gifts it is unbelievable.  Who would have known.  Valentines day is apparently the time you order thousands of cookies and buy cookies.  

As I was saying my goodbye to Tyler for the next couple of days I thought for sure he was going to kiss me.  I was pretty darn sure.  All the signs were there.  And I wanted to kiss him.  As we said a long goodnight I finally left to go inside to my house.  On my way up the driveway I was thinking I can't believe he didn't kiss me! Well halfway up the driveway Tyler says "Jenn, wait come here." This was it he was going to kiss me.  I went back and he hugged me and looked at me for a really long time then he said, "Jenn, your a good person."  Then he got in his car.  What the heck? I'm a good person? No kiss? This boy.
