So last night I added some new songs to my blog and one of them is called "We weren't crazy" and it totally reminds me of Ben and I. I also have been reading my journal from then and it is so funny!!! Basically we started dating in February of 2000 and dated on and off until he left on his mission in 2002. Life was crazy when we were dating, we were so twitterpated and it seemed like nothing on earth could break our stride. We had our moments :) but hey we live and we learn. One of the journal entries I love most was one time Ben came up to my house and my Mom made us popcorn and we sat on the couch the throwing it into each other's mouths. And then Ben decided to try one of those famous ear wax remover candles. We all laughed so hard. It makes me laugh to remember what dorks we were....(maybe we still are) Anyway Ben left on his mission and I was the faithful waiter, and he surprised me and came home 48 days early and everyone knew except me...nice huh! In the end it was easier because I didn't have to have a nervous breakdown waiting to see him at the airport or something. Anyway we got engaged 1 month later and I am pretty sure his family thought he was crazy to get engaged so fast, my parents were just relieved to have and end to my whining and I was so excited!! So to make a long story short.... "we were young, we were wild, we were restless......we were a lot of things but we weren't crazy" I love that man and I am so glad I took a chance on my feelings and chose to spend an eternity with him, no one else would do. (And I want blonde hair blue eyed babies.....hahah or should I say one blonde, one toe head)
