Well where should I begin? Grant and I met the week after I thought my life was coming to an end; little did I know it was just going to actually begin! On Thursday May 28th 2009 Grant decided to come to CLARITY a night for college aged adults get together and worship the Lord. Luckily for me, God had a bigger plan that night than I could have known. I made met Grant numerous times randomly throughout high school, so I see this amazingly good-looking guy standing at one of the group discussions tables. SO I turn and look at Hannah White and Amanda Godwin and say that guy is mine! (they think I'm kidding!) So I go over to him and just start talking and I am almost positive we hugged...however Grant does not believe so! Anyways we talk for awhile and then go our separate ways. Later that night or into the weekend I tell Jeremy (Heff) that he needs to hook me up! So later that weekend Amanda Godwin, Allie Shafer, and I go over to Nate Sneads where Grant just happened to be. So we talk quite a bit that night and then on facebook that night. That is where he finally asked me for my number. I think the next Sunday night we went out for coffee at Starbucks in Ankeny. We basically shut the place down. We talked non-stop all night. In the middle of our conversation my sister Sara called me like 15 times but my phone was in my purse and then got his number and kept calling him. Finally he said someone keeps calling me I'm sorry can I answer this quick...hilarious my mom and Sara crashed our first "date"to get my keys because Sara's car keys were in my car! It was a little embarrassing! Regardless, we slowly but surely fell in love.
Grant being the smart man that he is wanted to take our relationship slow and to not rush into anything. So we did not start dating until July 31st 2009 when Grant officially took me out to dinner at Three Timea's this is what he considered our FIRST DATE! After dinner he took me to Grey's Lake and we walked around the lake and onto the multicolored bridge and halfway and told me that he really liked me and I told him I really liked him and he said that he was falling hard for me and we officially became a couple.
