Our first date: Andrew

Having spent my entire life in Grantsville I had met and at least had one conversation with pretty much every single person i went to school with...elementary through high school. The town is so small that it was almost impossible not to. Though during the spring semester of 2008 I found out that maybe there was at least one person i may have missed, her name was Megan O.. The first time I really thought of talking to her or approaching her was actually on Facebook. At the time I wasn't looking for a relationship nor was I interested in anything other than school. Because of my focus on school I decided to try and hook my friend up with Meg...I told Paul that he should talk with her on facebook and he did. For the first part of the summer her and Paul became pretty good friends and i had the chance to go swimming with them and also my little bro Aaron. The first time I formally met her was about an hour before we went swimming. Aaron and I were down in the basement following the hard core workout videos of P90x (anyone who hasn't tried those and wants a REAL, intense workout, I highly recommend it) and the two friends came down stairs to try and convince to quit working out to go swimming. We resisted the temptation and convinced them to wait a little longer for us to finish. The four of us spent about three hours at the complex, swimming and tanning in the sun. After our first time hanging out we spent a couple random times hot tubing with a couple other people, but we had never been there for each other. Finally the day that changed everything came and that day was the 24th of July.

This was one of the most eventful 24th of July I have had in my life. In the morning I went with my family to an early movie and lunch. I cant remember what movie we saw or what restaurant we ate at, but I do remember seeing one of my former co-workers and the elderly lady was excited enough to see me she gave me a hug... Anyway as we were driving home to Gcity, Paul text me and invited me to go to lunch with he and Gun at the local Mexican restaurant, Casa Del Rey. Being that I had already eaten I told him I would come but wouldn't eat. When I got to the restaurant I sat on the opposite side of the table of Paul and gun. They had already started to eat and were in a hurry to get to work at 3. As we sat there talking I made my biggest effort to convince them to take the night off and hang out with me. Both said no. After my second lunch I went to my friend Zach's house and spent a couple hours there watching him, Tony, Kevin and Boone slug it out in an intense game of Risk. As the day went on I continued in my efforts to convince Paul and Gun to stay...but to no avail. However, later that evening Megan told me she was taking the weekend off and heading to Cedar City with another kid...at the time this didn't effect that much. The next evening was Friday night and I received a random text from gun at about midnight that said..."Hey I am back in town we should do something this weekend". So I immediately asked her out for the next evening, Saturday the 26th, after the Miss Tooele County pageant.

The day was finally here and the pageant was over. I picked her up in my little red pick up, threw some lawn chairs, fishing poles and a tackle box in the bed and took her to the dam. It was extremely windy and not a very good night for fishing, but I didn't care because I was already having more fun on this date than i had ever had in my life. She kept laughing at me as I tried to re-string her line and keep my chair from blowing away at the same time. After a couple hours of failure we decided to star watch. We through a blanket down in the back of the truck and watched the stars and joked around with each other. Somehow I was able to get her to give me a back massage and knew then that something special was going to come from this haha. The entire time we were in the truck I felt very comfortable around her and knew that she was someone I could get used to talking to. She was very understanding and kind hearted. After about a half hour in the truck we both decided we were hungry and being that we didn't have any fish to fry, we headed to Denny's. I have never spent so much time in a Denny's with one person. We had an awesome time and some mediocre food...(I find that Denny's is only enjoyable in the early hours of the morning). On our way home from Tooele I was planning on dropping her off as soon as we got in to town...however, the fun I was having changed my mind. We spent the last hour of this epic date driving around town. I was driving with my eyes closed and she was directing me where to go...a lot more fun than it sounds I promise. I finally took her home and exactly at the time I was pulling the covers over my body in bed, about 3 Am, I received a text from gun...and she was bored, I thought to myself "Why did I drop her off?"
