February 16, 2007: I was working in Full Service at Supersonic Car Wash. It was a Friday night. In a hurry to start the weekend, I left work that night before fulfilling my clean up duties to bring the carts in. Justin Sorenson didn't let me get away with it. I received a text message from him while I was driving home. It said: "Thanks for bringing the carts in..." Oops. I apologized and told him to have a good weekend. He said something about that not being very likely because he didn't have any plans that night. So, taking a hint, I told him that I could hang out with him if he wanted to. He did. So I made myself look as cute as possible and tried to act nonchalant in front of my family while waiting for him to pick me up, but I think my mom could tell that I was a little too excited to hang out with someone that was only a friend from work.It ended up being a really fun night. We rented and watched Fletch with his friends Skilar and Marci. We sat close to each other during the movie and I could tell that he liked me when he walked me to my door and gave me a hug. I was even more excited when he texted me after dropping me off and said that there is a sequel to Fletch if I wanted to watch it with him. We did two days later and have been pretty much inseparable ever since.
Good thing I slacked off on my cleaning that night.
I would have never thought that three years from that night I would be blogging about my first official date with my husband while balancing my MacBook on my 8 months pregnant belly! (Our first unofficial date was about a month earlier while I had a boyfriend and everyone from work went to Tucanos. It wasn't a date but we went together and it was really fun.)
We have both grown so much since that night and I know that I am who I am today because of him. I love him more than anything and I am so happy that he wanted to marry me and its not always easy but we really make each other happy.
Love you, Justin.

so cute! isn't it crazy? haha, us and our nonchalant-ness.
crazy! I can't believe it has been that long. We have all come a long way huh:) From us thinking justin was a creeper dating a junior in high school:) We kept thinking he seems like a way cool guy, why would he want to date a junior in high school even if you are so cute! I am glad he did. We love jus too!
Ha ha Val, do you even understand my awesomeness? Yeah I don't know how I snatched him but he's a keeper for sure. Hopefully I'll be moving a half hour away from you this fall! That will determine how much of a keeper he really is. (Just kidding... hopefully he doesn't read this.)
Wow, three years? I remember when
you first brought him to family dinner. You both looked so happy to be together...and still have that look even more.
love it and love you guys. SO MUCH. p.s. i miss you and have been thinking about you lots lately and we really need to go to lunch before the baby comes. yeah? yeah.
That is so cute! I never heard the whole story! I love how happy you two are and I can't wait to meet this cute little guy in your tummy! I am glad you slacked off that night too because it seems you two are perfect for each other! Love ya Lyss
