It’s been a long time since I’ve posted an installment of the love story between Jeff and me - the story of how we met, our first date, and the series of events that led up to the day we said, ‘I do.’ To catch up on our love story up until this point, read all of...
This next part of our love story has only come up in conversation one time. Not because it’s embarrassing or private, but because I’m at the point in our story where the saga of how we met ends and the tale of how we fell in love begins. The version of how we met...
So I realize that our love story up until this point has been one constant stream of awkward-sauce, but it’s about to become one constant stream of eye rolling, gushy romantic-sauce. So if you’re not the type that loves gushy romance, well then you may as well stop...
If you’ve been keeping up with our love story here on the bloggy-blog, this is the point where you would think that our budding relationship would come to a screeching halt – with a flag football spin of relationship death. But it didn’t, and this is the part where...
I know I left everyone on a cliffhanger in my last installment of Our Love Story, but this part of my first date with Jeff is just too deliciously awkward not to write it’s own post. After our romantic ferry ride across the San Diego harbor, Jeff took my...
Whenever we get to the part of our love story when Jeff and I went on our first date, people always ask the question, if everything was so awkward up to this point, how on earth did you end up together? Great question. There's two things you need to know in order...
The day after Jeff randomly asked me out on a date I was working all day in the library. It was Saturday, and it was the best shift of the week. The library was open from 10am to 4pm on weekends, nobody ever came in, and I could do all of my homework for the week...
If you want to learn how to secure a date, Mr. Jeff Youngren has broken the code. It happened right after we had "made some serious eye contact" in the cafeteria. Eye contact which I was completely unaware of. At this point in the story of how we fell in love, I...
After our awkward computer lab encounter, you'd think that Jeff would be too embarrassed to ask me out. I wasn't exactly nice. In fact, I was as friendly as a cactus. So what would give Jeff the courage to suddenly ask me out on a date? My contacts. Or actually, my...
After Jeff swooned me with his not-so-perfect pick-up line in the dorms, he began stalking me for the next two months. Mr. Rabbit Man, as I called him, started showing up regularly at my early morning library shifts to check out the largest books he could find on...
Based on Jeff's first pick-up line to me, it's pretty unbelievable that we ended up together. His friend Heather (and a picture of me) had finally convinced Jeff to meet me, so being the dutiful bible study leader that she was, Heather quickly fetched me from the...
During his college career, Jeff had gone through a few not-so-fun relationships and was fed up with the dating game. He was a charming guy in college (admittedly a bit girl crazy), but he had been burned one too many times by the opposite sex. His heart was...
