Dancing in the Rain

A continuation from our first Saturday together. After learning the dance I leave so that he can go to the temple. And every woman knows that a man who goes to the temple is HOT=humble obedient temple worthy. I went and got ready to go out to eat with my roommates. We went to Casa Manana. Kaitlyn and I got Dr. Pepper and were soooo hyper! The waitress liked me and waived the fee for my dessert saying she told them it was my birthday! I felt like a princess! Free fried ice cream equals one happy Taylor. Then it was pouring rain and my flippy floppy's were hydro-plating as Payge and I ran to get the car. We went to Walmart and I dropped in the toliet paper then ran away. My lil brother at college Bryce came over after and we had all moved our beds into the living room preparing for one big sleepover. Bryces showing up took us girls by surprise and somehow kaitlyn and I got turned around. Long story short I shot my bedroom door completely ignorant to the fact that it was indeed locked. Haha I totally locked myself out of my bedroom. Haha I was having a heart to heart with adam and had to text him back. I am all chill on my bed texting while bryce valon and kaitlyn are all trying to unlock the door. I call my dad to know what to do and he just laughed and said good luck and that he was too far away to even help. So I just casually get up, grab a bobby pin inserting it into the doornob, and I turned it left and opened the door. I am such a boss! It was soooo cool first try and I 1oo% got the job done. I was practically a lock smith and now have official bragging rights to being a pick lock. I was in the middle of my celebration dance when there was a knock on the door. Rex was at the door and he looked even more beautiful than I remember. He comes in and I try telling him the story but he was preoccupied with his own thoughts. Out of nowhere he grabs me up and takes me outside closing the door behind us. The rain came pouring down as he took me in his arms and danced in the rain. Bucket list check! Rex was sooo oh so romantic and I could of lived in that moment forever. It was just so sexy hot. He didn't even ask me he was just taking initiative as a man just getting what he wanted.

My dream came true that night.

First Saturday Together

That Saturday he invited me to celebrate payday with Hawaiian snow! We went on a big walk and ended up talking about my family. Rex is more visual and took me back to his place to show me some of his family videos. Can I just say that his family is downright hilarious. Such funny videos. I just remember sitting there in amazement that this amazing guy was holding my hands and sharing his life with me. Why me is all I could think about. Rex just does that to me I guess. He just makes me feel so comfortable to be around that I forget that he is kinda a big deal. Totally out of my league in my thoughts but ya never know. He gave me a private lesson on his Mr. EAC line dance talent number. I was pretty terrible at first but it was my first practice come on...give me a break!

Our Night in the Cotton Seed

Friday was all I looked forward to that week! I was sooo super excited to hang out and be around Rex. We shared a seat belt because Rex was freaking out about safety...super smooth! Listened to music were terrible djs and time flew by. Went to Travis’s house ate awesome food then went to the church. I met Chantel and she is too cute. Everyone had changed clothes and were ready to start the show. Rex looked for me and I was sitting by the girls...I didn't realize he wanted to sit BY me...oops! I told him to just sit by his friends. The concert was amazing! Travis's piano song fireworks was beautiful and his arrangement of my shepherd almost made me cry. When Rex would sing I would just be drawn to him. He has an amazing ability to be super animated and engaged in his singing. Its super cute. After we hugged and he was all like Good Job thanks for coming trying to be funny. Haha. Then we all changed again , but into crappy clothes. We were headed to the cotton seed. Little did I know how much fun that would be. They took us to this HUGE barn and in the back end of it was tons and tons of cotton seed all piled up! The whole activity was climbing up the seed to the top where it was sturdy enough to just walk around and then you would go to the end and drop off. Rex would grab my hand and we'd jump or he would throw me. Whenever his friends Daniel or Rylan would fall over with me he would mark his territory by coming to my side letting the guys know, hey back off dudes. Haha Anyways it was my very first time playing in cotton seed and I love trying new things. Everyone eventually wearied themselves out and we decided to take a seat. Rex was laying down but when it came to story time he made his way to me. Sitting there filthy and covered in cotton was fun but very uncomfortable. Some girl was dying coughing and Daniel is just telling this excruciatingly long story about the choomp. I was just running my hand through the cotton playfully throwing it on Rex's leg when Rex just grabs my hand. I had already decided that it'd be cool if he did but it was no big deal if we didn't ya know because we were still getting to know each other. Holding hands with Rex is fun! Both of us can not for our lives sit still. We have to be constantly moving. We just get into a good rhythm. Daniel ends the story and I think it is hilarious! We jump off one last time and help get the cotton seed off of one another. Then back to the car. We went in search of a water pump to hose ourselves off and a women followed us...it was awkward but oh so funny. On the car ride home we kinda held hands but mostly I just remember falling asleep on his chest as he sang songs beautifully in my ear. Let me remind you that this was only the beginning. What a night to remember, but wait it isn't just mine that night belongs to Rex too. It was our night in the cotton seed.

Don't Forget to Dress Up!

Tuesday came and with it the dreaded dressing up for devotional, but thankfully Rex was kind enough to remind me like a million times. I have this flowy, pink and orange skirt that I absolutely love. I wore that with my matching red orange top that both my mom and I bought at Forever 21. Throwing on my red orange comfy flats completed my colorful and vibrant outfit. I arrive to devotional excited to see Rex and he never came. They begin and the entire time this guy is talking about how the church gets good deals when people die off all I could focus on why was Rex not there! We sing the closing hymn and then comes in Rex. He look frazzled and like he just woke up. He did! Rex had slept in and that is why he was late! He asked if I saved him a seat and I said yes. I even made Bryce sit behind me so that I could save a spot for Rex that was never filled! Haha Poor Bryce. Rex was happy that I did save him a seat though and we parted ways planning to meet after choir. This time I was supposed to wait so that Rex didn't have to run after me. Adorable! Choir ends and Rex opens the door for me. We go to our institute eternal relationships class and after we go back to my apartment to watch his fall sing video. I loved just sitting on the couch watching Rex in all his different talents. I would laugh at his Disney Hanuka Matata song where he was Pumba! Rex actually pulled off being dressed as a pig...who would of thunk? We would play find Rex and I could always spot he in the crowd of people on the screen. I died laughing and couldn't control myself when I watched Rex play his drums! He just gets so into it with his motions and facial expressions that it cracked me up all the way down to my core. Since Rex slept in and missed my roomies performance of Beautiful to Him, Rex made her give a mini concert at the institute that night. Sitting there listens to everyone around me sing was peaceful, relaxing, and enjoyable. I love music and guys that harmonize! Overall super fun night and that's when Rex asked me to go to Duncan to watch Travis's piano recital. I said yes, I didn't even have to think about it because I knew that I wanted to.

Surprise Visit

Coming back to Thatcher I had one thing on my mind, seeing Rex. I was so excited to see his face because I thought that his reaction would confirm any uncertainties I had about him not liking me. Sadly he never came to FHE. While I was wondering wear in the world he was his roommate who is a talented pianist asks me to do him a favor. I'm all like I have a relief society meeting, but yea what do you need. He asked the possibly perfect thing of me ever. He asked if I would take Rex dinner to his work. He was working! Haha I love how I work myself up when there is always a reasonable explanation for everything. I learn that someday. Anyways I was more than willing to take Rex some R&R pizza! Valon comes with me because I was scared to go alone, not quite comfortable being just him and me. I walk in the door and Rex's face literally light up. He was not expecting to see me and was more than happy that I came. He was appreciative for the pizza, but quickly asked about my trip to Globe. I informed him it was lovely and that I had a blast. I asked how his lesson went even though twenty people texted me to let me know that Rex had listed his qualities for a future wife...people, people slow down! I had to leave for my meeting, but he was sad to see me go. Later that night he texted me saying that I made his day by coming to visit him and that I didn't need an excuse like food to come for future reference. Dully noted Rex, dully noted.

My Weekend Away

My roommate Kaitlyn and I went to Globe for the weekend to spend time with my second parents. How I love the Rainwaters...awww too much! Barbara or what I call her Bra Bra is the sweetest woman I have ever known. Her husband Troy and her opened up their home completely to be making me feel ever so welcome. The endless supply of homemade food, ice cream, and theater candy was always there for us girls. There home is beautiful. Water fountain, massive family room, personal gym, and a home movie theater is just a wonderful, wonderful thing! I absolutely loved going back to my hometown to reminisce in the loved ones of my past as well as live in the new friendships of now. As you all know I have met someone and let's just say he is my special friend. There is so much to tell! Let me disclose one detail though, his name is Rex. Rex is tall, dark, and handsome yet so dedicated to his spiritual self along with being extremely confident and funny. Is it kind of pathetic that I highly debated coming to Globe that weekend because there was a football game and Rex was teaching the Sunday school lesson? Well I did, but I knew that I needed to really think things through and if I missed him it would confirm my feelings for him. Checking into the apartment back in Thatcher, Payge informed us of a snake in our apartment! (Insert girl freak out here) Kaitlyn and I immediately think to call Rex to get him there to help Payge. Being caught up in the moment I forgot that he was conducting the band at the game. Rex replied with a text asking what we needed and I told him that we handled it. Then Rex told me he wouldn't of been any help because he is afraid of snakes! Haha, how cute! Kaitlyn and I try to shack off our fear by watching The Lizzie McGuire Movie. We are such girls. May I just tell you of my absolute and utter love for my purple bed. This purple bed is my happy place and I could literally sleep all day long in its comfort. The fact that it is Temper Pedic probably has something to do with that...it is like sleeping on a cloud of happiness. There were two guest bedrooms, but this bed was THAT GOOD that we slept in the same room. Kaitlyn is such a strong and beautiful girl. Spending time with her and bonding in Globe really helped us connect on a deeper level. She is incredible. She is generous. She is flat out hilarious. As Kaitlyn would say herself she is one big BH. I love her and was more than happy to share my life with her. Sunday Barbara and I watched I am mormon videos for hours and somehow got to talking about Rex. I told her how he made me feel and how he is just like Braxton; fun, likable, genuine. Barbara told me to tell Troy and getting both of their approvals to pursue Rex was such a relief as well as comfort to my sanity. This boy literally came into my life so fast and unexpectedly that I don't know what to do with him. He is messing up all my initial plans, but also folding into my future plans. Labor day we headed to the Pinale Mountains where we razored and ate Subway sandwiches enjoying each other's company. I talked and had a heart to heart with both Troy and Barbara. I love them both very much and there kindness means more than any extravagant thing that money can buy. Saying goodbye was bittersweet with roses, Dairy Queen shakes, and a tenderly written thank you card, but I couldn't wait to get back to college and have more fun experiences. Kaitlyn on the ride back informed me that she wants to conceive on the same day as me and I thought that was funny! There are times in ones life where you look back and remember that that was a good day. This weekend was one I will always hold dear to my heart. Thank you to Barbara and Troy for the wonderful people you are to me!

I have always pictured what my future husband would be like. I have made lists of qualities that I would like him to have. I found him.

He is amazing. He is pure. He is an example to me in how to better my own life. He is constant. He is a hard worker. He is sensitive. He is very enthusiastic. He is happy. He is a talented singer. He is silly. He is bent in his ways. He is a reader. He smells good. He is spontaneous. He is a great listener. He is a drummer. He is musical. He is wonderful. He is true.

I want to be someone he can turn to when he needs anything. I want to be a constant in his life. I want to be apart of his world. He is a source of happiness in my college experience that I didn't plan on, but am pleasantly surprised to have found. I wake up every morning with a smile on my face because I know that I will get to see him. He is out there. He very well could be my best. He could be the one I end up making my dreams come true with. He has come into my life like a burning fire and I feel his warmth all around me. Hopefully he is here to stay.
