~OUR FIRST DATE~

Sierra and I have always said that its crazy how everything has happened to us. Sierra's boyfriend, Jeff, had broken up with Sierra in June, and Kendra had broken up with me at the end of May. We really didn't know each other all that well, but JoyAnne, Sierra's friend had kept telling me to text Sierra and ask her out. I am not good around girls that I don't know, and I guess it really made me nervous. We had been talking on MSN Messanger for awhile, when somehow we got talking about Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Sierra had not seen it yet so I asked her if she would want to go on a date with me.

Then one of the best moments in the year 2007 was when we went on my first date with Sierra. I think we were both pretty nervous about the whole date. After we went and saw the movie, I took Sierra back to apartment. I figured she would just want to leave right then, and that would be that. But we sat there and talked to each other for I don't remember exactly how long, but it was one of the most coolest things ever, just being able to have a conversation going for so long. I thought that Sierra was pretty, and that I definately wanted to go on a date with her again. I wasn't for sure if she wanted to go out again, but July 4th week was the next week, and we were both going to be home. I asked Sierra to come hang out with Scott, JoyAnne, and me, and she accepted. We hung out for I think the next two or three nights. Then on the third night Sierra and I were laying on JoyAnne's trampoline, and looking at the stars and enjoying the night. I decided to go in for a kiss, and Sierra got so nervous that she would just laugh and pull away. At first I thought she didn't want to, but then she told me she did. So I tried it again, and then she pulled away and laughed again. I got so embarassed, it was probably a good thing it was so dark or Sierra would probably think she was looking at a red apple or something. But finally we shared our first kiss that night, and I think that it was probably one of the most perferct kiss. Maybe Sierra did all that to make it that much more special.
Then Sierra and I started hanging out all the time, and about 2 or 3 weeks later, on July 22nd, I asked Sierra to be my girlfriend. She accepted and that seriously made me the happiest guy at that time. Things were going good I thought, then a couple or weeks later or so, Jeff (Sierra's ex-boyfriend) decided to come up to Boise and tell Sierra that he really wanted to be with her again. Sierra got confused and she decided that it was probably best that we break up for the moment while she thinks about what she wanted to do with this situation that came up. I was a little hurt and Sierra and I didn't talk for about a week. I don't know what happened, but I knew that I didn't want to give up, and move on. I knew that Sierra was something special, and the feeling I had when I was with her was GREAT! So I decided to just be there for her and to do everything I could to show Sierra that I would always be there for her, no matter what it was.

This was just a minor bump in the road and we soon conquered it. This experience made me realize just how special Sierra was, and that I knew I wanted to be with her.
