TBT: The Day that Changed My Life Forever

I still remember what I was doing at this exact time, 6 years ago on October 24th.  I was a freshman at BYU-Idaho and I was getting ready for my first college date.  I had met a cute guy named Scott a few weeks earlier when I was trying to stop by another guy's apartment and showed up at his by mistake.  We had hung out a few times since then and he had asked me to go to a concert with him on campus.  I remember blasting music in the bathroom and laughing with my roommates as we did each other's make up and curled our hair.  I was so excited to go on an "official" date with Scott and get to know him better.  Little did I know that first date would change my life forever.

I had butterflies in my stomach when I heard him knock on the door.  He was wearing a blue and white button down shirt and black converse shoes.  We made the regular first date small talk on the way to the concert (how many siblings do you have, where did you grow up, the usual) but he made it more interesting by telling jokes and throwing in quotes from The Office.  The first thing I really liked about Scott on our first date was his sense of humor.  He had a witty way of making everything funny.  He made me happy and I couldn't help but smile when I was with him.  6 years later, that's still one of my favorite things about him.  I'm so happy I knocked on the wrong door and met Scott so many years ago.  He really is my best friend and I can't imagine my life without him.
