After we had held hands for a while and i was comfortable with the idea i sent Jacob this picture. I was in History and was bored like usual, so i drew a picture and sent it to him. Good thing the teacher liked me because i sat on the second row and i really think he would have said something if anyone else were to draw pictures in his class. i typically doodled in his class though. the outsides of my notebook are covered in names, mostly Jacob in various fonts, colors, and nicknames.
Jacob was sleepy. He had shaved his head a few days before, what you cant see is that he still has a full beard.
Then the fun really began!! As it turns out there is a covered stadium just across the street from Andy’s house. They call it the dome for obvious reasons. We all decided to climb up the dome and wait for the football team to get back from their game and it was a blast! Because it’s a dome it was really hard to start climbing up it because the sides are really steep then it evens out along the top though it is never really flat. Once we got on top there was not a whole lot to do and it was cold so Jacob and I decided to see who could find the most shooting stars.
The hardest part, not to mention scariest, of the entire dome experience is getting down. You can’t just walk down, if you had a little tumble down you would either be dead wish you were. You eventually get down on your butt and scoot until gravity gets you and you slide from a reasonable distance. We walked back to Andy’s house and all the girls went to their beds. We stayed up chatting, and I admitted for the first time out loud that I liked Jacob. What I found out the next morning, from Jacob, was that while we were all being girls staying up and talking the guys decided to make a second trip up dome… wearing only their shoes!! I would have frozen to death it was cold enough wearing pants, long sleeves and jackets!
-Next day-
We all ate breakfast, I got to pet a real live pet pig named bacon, we gassed up the quads, picked up some snacks and headed out. We rode for several hours and had a fun time. Every once in a while we would stop and snack, walk around, wait for slow people etc.
This is one of the stops.
On one of the stops we went for a little hike. Jacob was bored with the conversations so he pulled out his pocketknife and carved his initials in a tree. He realized that we still had time before we headed back to our quads and he carved mine in the tree as well. That was pretty exciting to me. Throughout our ride I rode on the back of Jacob’s quad. By the time we were done riding everybody had black faces it was pretty funny.
Ok, Jacob and i had been messing around with our phones taking weird pictures and we came up with this one. I thought it was funny and decided to send it to my dad. He teased about how very attractive the pictures and asked if it was kinda like a game of finders keepers. As dad and i were texting back and forth i was reading his texts to Jacob and we just laughed about it. Dad sent me a random text a little while later that said "you sure know how to pick um' kid."When I laughed Jacob asked what dad said this time, i remember being embarrassed and not wanting to read it out loud to Jacob. Probably because i felt like dad was right.
Especially after that first date i realized that if nothing else i was comfortable around Jacob and his roommates Ryan and JT. So, i started popping in and out of their house whenever i had nothing to do. If Jacob was home i almost always sat by him and we would talk, watch TV, take silly pictures of ourselves, and my favorite was to ask him to tell me stories. His favorite stories to tell are about him and his brothers when they were younger and mission stories, i love them all.
This picture is more recent than the others you can tell because i am wearing his watch. i found it on the dryer one day when we/he was doing laundry, obviously, and put it on. i have had it on since then around the end of September. 
This was a Sunday and for some reason i was dressed up more than i normally do for church, i can't say i remember why. however i do remember going to family dinner at his parents and playing card games with his sisters after we ate.
If you notice in this picture we are sitting on a brown leather couch but at the top of the picture there is a lighter part, that is another couch that they have sitting on top of a huge football stadium speaker. this is so they can fit 4 couches in 1 tiny living room.
