A Little History

Me and Jud have known eachother since we were in Sunbeams in church. My parents were our teachers. And I specifically remember that he was the only boy in the class, so of course all of us girls teased him. That was the beginning of a marvelous relationship. Jr. High was the time of a million crushes, and you guessed it. Jud was one of them. In seventh grade we had the same math teacher-Mrs. Barney. We were allowed to work in pairs and we took advantage of it. Jud was always partners with Klassen Stoddard, who is my one of my best friends boyfriends right now, and I was always partners with Natlalie Rogers. Somehow we always ended up forming a wild group that never got any work done until we were yelled at. Since that time I have always had a "thing" for him. It wasnt until our Jr. year of high school and a few coincidences that we were back in the same flirting position. But now we were 16... the time for dating. Of course we took advantage of it and went on our first date Oct. 14, 2007. I remember it so vividly, we went to the haunted mill, held hands, got stuck in the AFEC parking lot due to a car wreck, and flipped ice cream at a car. Young and obnoxious without a care in the world. But before our first date I went and rode with him in the truck on Oct. 10, 2007. His family was in spud harvest and since I have worked on a farm for as long as I can remember I had no problem with this. That was our first kiss. We were eachothers first everything: first hand to hold, first to cuddle with, first kiss, first girlfriend/boyfriend. The next day we were texting and he asked me to be his girlfriend Oct. 11, 2007. Once back in school the news spred like wildfire, but we loved it.
One night I was doing my homework down in our office at my house and Jud called. I answered and was excited to talk to him, but I immediatly noticed that he was crying. I asked what was wrong and he told me that his parents were making us break up, they said we were too young to be dating steadily. I started crying just then. He told me that he didnt care. He still wanted to be with me, and he would wait for me till after graduation and then he would ask me to be his girlfriend again. I readily agreed and told him he could date in the mean time if he would like. Of course he said no and told me likewise, I said the same. The next day at school Jud walked me out to my car for what we thought was the last time for a long time. When we got to my car he said those three famous words, "I Love You." I had been wondering the last little while if that was really what I felt, but hearing him say that made me sure that was what was going on. We loved eachother... but we still weren't dating.
They say true love conqours all. I am a firm believer in that. Me and Jud still held hands, kissed, went on dates and did everything normal couples do. We just weren't "dating." As long as we didn't label it that, his parents really didnt have a problem with us...as far as I know. Graduation came around, and the hype was in the air. We went through the ceremony with no problem, all the while my mind was wondering if he would really ask me to be his girlfriend or if he already just assumed that, because he hadnt said anything since. The ceremony was over and now it was on to the senior lock in. 10:30-4AM, last night in the school. We went had fun, I was hypnotized by the hypnotist and then Jud pulled me into another room, of course I had no idea what he was doing. But then he asked me to be his girlfriend. Butterflies went crazy inside of me! I couldn't have been happier; and everyone knows that I said yes!
We have no been graduated for 6 months and 5 days. I am attending Eastern Idaho Technical College (EITC) to get my LPN and ultimatly my RN while Jud has been working for his dad full time on their farm. In January he is moving down here to Sugar-City to live with his grandparents and start going to school with me, where he will work towards getting his Associates Degree in welding. We can't wait and have some very large and important plans coming up!
