11 years, baby! I met Jay when I was 19, he was 22. According to him he was “smitten at first sight” and wanted to ask me out on a date but he got so nervous and scared and thought I’d never say yes to him. So he never did. But the thing is, I liked him too. There was this deep, instant connection with us I couldn’t deny. But I was the most awkward, least-smooth girl who had no game whatsoever and never gave him any hints I was interested (I had a way of letting guys I was interested in think I did not like them whatsoever. I have so many awkward stories😩). Then 3 years later when I came home from a LDS mission, he told me his biggest regret in life was never getting the courage to ask me out on a date 3 yrs. prior. And then asked me if he did ask me out back then, if I would’ve said yes. I said, “I would have said yes. But back then I said yes to every guy that asked me out.” Easy, sass!😂 So he asked how about now… If he asked me out, what would my answer be now. I hesitated whether I should tell him the truth or lie. I decided to be honest and said yes. And a year later we were married. It was the best yes I’ve ever said.
I absolutely love growing old with you @jaystory9. I’m so excited for us to become grandpa and grandma, retire and hit the movies & Sizzler’s together, and shrivel up and get wrinkly & saggy together. Happy anniversary, babe! I love you so much.
