I Sure Know how to Pick Them

I love this picture, not because i look good but because of the story that goes with it.

This is the very beginning of October.

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.

More Time Together

All of these pictures were taken on different days hence the different clothes and facial hair, on him not me.

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.

New Clothes... Well New to Me

It just so happens that the grey t-shirt I'm wearing in this picture was once upon a time Jacobs. It is officially one of my favorites now still. I actually got it on the night i went on my first date with Jacob. You see when we got home from our long long long cold motorcycle ride i was still soaking wet. I went to my house and as it happens my roommate was gung-ho about locking the doors for the longest time. Well instead of climbing through the window like i later became accustomed to i just walked back to Jacobs house where i got a pair of PJ pants and this grey t-shirt. well i didn't have a dry bra and i didn't wanna go without so by the time i left i had bra shaped wet-marks on my shirt.. pretty embarrassing as a matter of fact.

If you notice there happens to be a very good looking quilt on my bed behind me my sister made it for me for my birthday.

Ice Cream, Backrubs, and Gumballs

Dani is the blonde Jen is the redhead if you would call that red... I never would have put this on except that every time Jacob sees these pictures he tells me that that was the first time i gave him a backrub. I dont remember that but i know i sat next to him and we ate gumballs it was Aug. 19. which means it was pre-our first date! It was a homemade IceCream social, and we played Mormon Jepordy because it was a sunday and there is nothing like a bit of mormon competition for a wholesome Sunday activity.

The Beginning

Our first date was Last August. He randomly showed up at my house and asked me if i wanted to go on a motorcycle ride. I said yes, of course. So i hopped on Jacobs bike with him and Mason was our double with another girl. So we headed up the mountain, it was cloudy on this side and almost chilly. We had a fun ride, it was about an hour and a half ride to the top.. thats where we took the sunset picture, it was absolutely incredible! When we pulled around to the other side of the mountain you wouldnt believe the grey/black clouds. In fact we almost got struck by lightning, im being totally serious too. Once we got closer to the bottom it started raining HARD,and it was really hold H2O, did i mention there were 25 mile an hour winds and were going like 30 miles an hour it actually hurt really bad. When we got to the bottom we had to stop, catch our breath, warm up, and wait for the bullet rain drops to stop. While we waited Jacob told us all stories about all sorts of things, mostly things from highschool.

Ok these are a common type of picture for me and Jacob, we often do the silly face thing. Did you notice the beard, its also something pretty common but it comes and goes i dont mind. when he starts noticing that my chin gets dry he shaves.. im not a complainer.
