First Kiss

4 years ago from yesterday, October 6th 2004, was the first time that Travis kissed me. We met one of the first weeks of the fall semester at country dancing on a Wednesday night (BYU-I has country dancing every Wednesday night). Travis asked me to dance and I was really flattered that he would ask me because he was so cute. He was a good dancer to. A few songs later I noticed that he was standing alone so I asked him to dance again because I thought it was a waste for someone that could dance as well as him, and was as cute as him to sit out for a dance. After that night, we kept seeing each other every where. I really liked Travis right off, and I told myself that even if he didn't want to date me he would be a really good friend at least. So we went on a few dates, and I wasn't sure how Travis felt about me. Randy Travis was coming to BYU-Idaho for a concert and I asked Travis to go with me. I didn't even know who Randy Travis was but I thought it was a good excuse to ask Travis out. We had a great time at the concert and it turned out that I did know a few of Randy's songs. 3 Wooden Crosses had always been one of my favorite country songs, but since I was a fairly recent convert to country I didn't know who sang it. So after the concert we went to Travis's house and we watched Top Gun. That was the first time I ever saw the movie. Travis put his arm around me and of course I was really excited about that. After the movie, he drove me home and walked me to my door. He hugged me and said that he had a good time and then he kissed me. I totally wasn't expecting it, but I was glad that he did. It was the perfect first kiss. When I walked into my apartment one of my roommates was sitting in the front room and she saw that I was smiling really big and she said "he kissed you didn't he?" If Travis had asked me to marry him that night I probably would have said yes. I was so head-over-heels in love with him already! He had all of the traits that I wanted in a husband and then some. The more I got to know him the more I loved him. He is devoted to the church, he loves me unconditionally, he is such a hard worker, he is extrememly self-motivated, he supports and encourages me in everything that I want to do, he is a great Papa to Audrey, he is my best friend, he strengthens our family, he is so much more than I deserve. I love him more and more every day. And that is the start of our continuing love story.
