Four Years Ago- Our Story

It was Tuesday April 14, 2009, and I headed to my first day of work on the grounds crew at BYUI.  It was a cold rainy day, and I didn't really want to go to work since my boss wasn't going to be there and was going to  be just a bunch people I didnt know. I headed in and decided to have a good attitude. I walked in to the meeting place, which was in a tin shop place, and looked around at a whole group of men. Being a single college girl I scoped out the crowd, seeing if there were any good looking guys.

*Side note. The day before Thomas had basically sworn off girls. He had told his sister he was done, and wanted a break, and was sick of dating etc.......anyway......

I saw Thomas and thought he's not too bad, kept looking around and came back to him. He was the best looking for sure. Anyway..... i told one of the managers I was new and on Jeremy's crew and he yelled out, "she is with Jer's crew, who does she go with?" Thomas had a hat on, and arms folded and he kinda mumbled, "she's with us". My first thoughts were, "holy cow, what a grump, he seems so full of himself"

Our crew gathered up a bunch of supplies hopped in the trucks and headed out. Thomas drove, and I sat in the middle, between him and some stinky married guy. Thomas and I started talking... and talking... and talking... and laughing... and then flirting..... ALL DAY LONG. Even though it was cold and rainy all day..... We were best friends in a matter of minutes it seems like. I went home for lunch and told my bestie/roomate, Brittany,  that I just made a new best friend and how he is so funny, and we get along really well and how he reminded me of one of my good friends from highschool. She said that day... you are going to marry him. I told her, "ya right and don't say that, and it's not like that, and I didn't even know if I like him, he is just so cool, and fun and easy to talk to." She said over and over... Kayla this is the guy. You seriously are going to marry him.

The next day was cold and rainy again, and everyone went home, but we decided to stay. We had lunch at my apt, and my roomate Brittany Marquardt met him. She said the same thing again.. i was going to marry him....  We went back to work and worked all day raking leaves, pine cones etc, talking, flirting, getting to know eachother. We were SUCH good friends immediately.  We took eachothers numbers, and he asked me out for that saturday. By then I knew I definately liked him, and I was pretty sure he liked me just as much.

For our date, we went down to the river, built a fire, fished a little, had tin foil dinners and dessert. It was a blast!! We had SO much fun!!! The weather was perfect, the view was gorgeous. It was the best first date ever.... and we were basically inseparable from that day on. We spent every minute possible together.
