6 years and counting

So here in a few days, Bevan and I will have been together for SIX years. It's amazing how fast time flies. In honor of this occasion, I thought I would share a little bit of our history.
Bevan and I met when I was a senior in H.S, and he was in nursing school. We both worked at Shopko, where I had been for about a year or so- and he was hired on as seasonal help. The first day we ever talked, I was assigned to show him around, and our first assignment was to clean up the picture aisle. It's amazing because I can still remember that day vividly. Instantly, I had a crush on him for many reason.
A. He had tattoos.
B.He was in a band.
C. He was sooo incredibly smart, which I found very attractive.
D. He was not afraid to put me in my place. I will admit, I tend to be quite spoiled- and I loved the fact that he was not willing to take any of my B.S

However, he had a significant other (who he had been with for about two years), as did I ( but mine was a stupid highschool thing). So from that point on, we were really good friends, and hung out together as often as we could. We would go to shows together, or watch Star Wars- or go out to lunch.
Finally, graduation comes-and the day after I graduated, I went back to Kansas to have my last "responsibility-free" summer (and boy did I EVER. Another time though.)
During the summer, I actually started dating (for the second time) a boy I had been "in love" with since the ninth grade. We made all these plans that I was going to go back home to Idaho, stay for one semester, and then I would move back to Oklahoma, and we would go to O.S.U together. Well, at summer's end, I reluctantly moved back to Idaho- and within a few days, Bevan and I were hanging out again. One night, he finally spilled the beans and told me he was in love with me, and that him and his long time girlfriend had broken up.
And as they say...the rest is history.

(This is just the shortened version. There is a LOT more to the story, but I HATE it when people just ramble on on their blogs...like I'm doing now...so I thought it was time to end it!)

A couple pics from our Paris honeymoon. I will try to find some oldschool pics and scan them in.
