Love Story: Part 5

On October 17, 2009,

I made the best decision of my life:)

I feel like this next event hit off what was to become between Sam and I,

I love this day:)

***************************

A couple of days earlier,

Sam had asked me if I wanted to go to Logan, UT with his family,

To watch his sister Alice play in a volleyball tournament!

I was

BEYOND EXCITED

That Sam had asked me to do something,

And I was running around my house trying to find my Mom!!

"MOM, MOM!!"

"WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"SAM JUST ASKED ME TO GO TO LOGAN,

CAN I GO?!?!"

I totally knew that my Mom was going to say no.

I mean,

Why would she let me go to Utah with a boy she hardly knew?!

But then something strange happened...

She said YES!!!:D

It's like she knew that Sam was special,

And this day would be special too:)

So October 17th finally came,

And bright and early Mr. Sam came and picked me up:)

On our way to Utah we had solitaire

Tournaments on our I-Pods,

I chatted with his awesome family,

And even played name that tune with all the Cannons!!!

{sam's family listened to totally different music, so i did terrible, ha!}

It was a lot of fun,

And I was enjoying getting to know the Cannon Family:)

When we got to Logan,

We started watching Alice play in her tournament!

And of course I got nailed by a volleyball!!

Haha, I laugh about it now,

But I was so embarrassed!:D

Sam and I took a couple of walks throughout

The tournament,

That was my favorite part:)

During one of our walks,

Sam bent down and picked up an earring that was laying on the ground.

He said,

"Look, it's an eyeball!"

And gave it to me.

I still have that eyeball:)

After the tournament we headed over to one of

Sam's Uncles home!

They were so fun to meet:)

We headed downstairs though to take a load off and watch some movies:)

Sam's little sister Brooke insisted on watching Cinderella,

So we did and it was awesome:)

Throughout the movie though,

I had this feeling that Sam was going to

Hold my hand.

But as the credits started rolling,

I knew that the feeling was TOTALLY wrong!!

After Cinderella,

We were still tired,

So we watched a show called Cool Runnings:)

{i will forever love this show}

Once again I got this feeling Sam was going to hold my hand,

But I quickly brushed it away.

It was probably just the volleyball hit talking to me,

Haha!!

My hand was resting on a pillow though,

And about halfway through the movie my hand twitched!!

Like full on muscle spasm,

And Sam looked right at me and said...

"Can I hold your hand?:)"

I'm sure my face was turning red right about now,

But how could I say no?!

I wanted to hold Sam's hand!!!

So I said yes,

And was completely distracted the rest of the movie:)

At one point we stopped holding hands,

I don't remember why.

But Sam asked if I would like to start holding hands again.

And as much as I loved it,

I was so nervous people!!!

So I said,

"Uh...I need to go to the bathroom:)"

I totally didn't need to go,

But faked the motions like I did, ha!!

When I got into the bathroom though,

There was a huge hobo spider!!!

I don't do well with spiders for anyone that knows me,

So I ran out of the bathroom calling for Sam,

Haha!:D

We resumed holding hands,

And finished the rest of Cool Runnings:)

The movie ended though to soon,

And it was time to head home.

It was a nice drive home,

I thought a lot about the day and all the events that had just happened.

Sam totally fell asleep!!

{he wont admit it, but he did!!}

And I just stared out the window at the beautiful stars:)

When we got back to Blackfoot,

Sam told me he would take me home:)

We took a detour to go star gazing,

But really,

We just wanted to hold hands:)

Are you starting to see why this day changed my life?!:)

While we were sitting in the Land Cruiser,

Star gazing and holding hands,

Sam asked me,

"Can I give you a kiss?:)"

Once again,

TOTALLY NERVOUS!!!

And this is what I said...

"Ya know,

I kinda like when I don't know when things are coming.

I think things should just happen:)"

And just like that I talked Sam out of giving me a kiss!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

So he drove me home,

We held hands the whole way,

And I was on cloud 9!:)

Despite the fact that I had declined a kiss from this hunk,

This day was perfect:)
