Mommy & Daddy Fell in Love

In the summer of 2006 I decided to pack my things up in Orem & moved out to Provo. I wanted to serve a mission, & I knew I should get some preparing and chose to move into a shared bedroom. I found a great deal and took over the contract of some gir. Parris was my new roommate! That first night in my new place I smiled so much my cheeks hurt. My new roommates told me all about the boys in apartment 2. Adam was the guy who was so funny & they all told me I had to meet him when he came back into town (He was in St. Louis). Although Adam was "so funny" & "great to be around". However, he had a girl friend, the girl that I bought the contract from. Finally, Adam came back into town. You know when someone talks up a movie so much and once you go it's just O.K. That's how meeting Adan went. He was cool enough. Through the next month all the girls would hang out with all the guys. Adam broke up with his girlfriend and got really bored. I oved the people scene and would always go to the institute dances. Adam was my wingman and I was his. I'd always ditch him, because I was afraid other guys wouldn't approach me if I was next to him. Sadly, we never had a slow dance together. The truth, he wasn't that into me either.
One day after work, I saw a Red Robin billboard. I was craving a burger. Once I got home I ran over to apartment 2 to see if someone was home. Adam was on the phone & I interrupted to ask him to go to Red Robin with me. Later, I found out he was calling another girl to go out with that night. It was my favorite date ever. If you can cal it a date, I did pay for myself. Adam made me laugh the entire time. From that day on we were great friends. He was determined to help me go on my mission. He taught me the ten commandments with my hands. We really loved being friends.
It was confrence Sunday, October 1st. We drove up into the canyon with some roommates to gawk and the changing leaves. The whole way up I was memorizing ALL his brother's and sisters names. I was determined to get it right. Once we got home something strange happened. Maybe it was the avacado sandwich he was eatting but we ended up cuddling on the couch and I went into kiss him. Stupid Move. Doesn't everyone know once you kiss you start to like them even more.
That next Tuesday I went to the Stake President for my mission interview. He felt like I was suppose to go on a mission. Even after talking about my "new" crush. I was suppose to serve a mission.
That night I went to play games at his house. He wasn't there. He was out on a date with some blond girl he met at a dance. He even brought her over. I was completely jealous. Furious beyond belief. Needless to say, we started dating anyways, with the thought that I was going on a mission. IN October, the day the Cardinals won the world series, I got my mission call to Fresno, California spanish speaking. I was very excited but I had falling too deep with Adam. I cried way too much the month. A couple of weeks later I decided if I was going on a mission I didn't want any strings attached. I was going to serve the Lord with only Him in mind, and I needed to break up with Adam. But I didn't want to. It was a horrible game of flip flop. I just wanted him to make me not go, like he couldn't live without me but he knew how much a mission meant to me. He texted me one day when I was having one of these internal fights, which said: " I would love to say don't make me wait and we are meant for each other and there's no other place for you to be but it means more if you figure it out on your own".
Of coarse I had figured it out, I just didn't want to give up either one. The rest of the week I cried and prayed a lot. Then I made my decision. I wanted to stay with him.
