Too young? Nahh

It's true people come and go. Some friends are always there and some just for a short time. As life goes on we meet new people. In those instants you find you're love, you're soul mate, you're best friend, you're other half. If you're really lucky they are all the same person. I know I am young but I have found the one whom I want to spend all eternity with. It all started freshman year (yes I had the biggest crush on him). Of course me the outgoing not shy one was so terrified to talk to "HIM" we had our groups tell each other things and we texted but it never turned into anything serious. I eventually moved on and was over him, so I thought. I started dating other guys and completely forgot about him. He too dated other girls. We went through the rest of freshman year and sophomore year still nothing between us. The next guy I dated had me thinking that I had fallen in love and found the guy I was going to marry. But after about a year that also came to an end. After that I was just doing me and living life out with all my guys friends. Junior year started and I was definitely not looking for a relationship. Of course staying away from crushing on boys was impossible for me. First day of school I walked into math class... (Honors Pre Calc to be exact) all I saw were a bunch of go getters and kids who could outsmart me any day. I had no idea why I had to be placed in this class. I sat down just in a middle row kind of close to the door. The bell was about to ring and still not a kid in sight that I knew. Finally "he" walked in. The kid I had once liked freshman year. He was not alone with him was a handsome man, we'll call him Dan. I was so excited "he" was in my class and Dan also. I immediately started conversation. I had soon gained a crush on Dan and still me and "him" were just friends. I ended up going to homecoming with Dan. We had fun! One of the best nights ever. A couple weeks passed and every day in math we would all talk. I started to realize Dan was just not the guy for me. Not the type of guy I was looking for. One day I texted my freshman crush a picture of Kris Letang (NHL player) because he had some amazing flow and of course that is what all the lax players were going for. That text really hit things off. After that we started texting a little more every day. I had gained a huge crush on him. And he the same. Just like freshman year we were telling our friends who obviously passed on the message. Before you know it we were dating and hanging out all the time. But knowing that no relationship is perfect we made our mistakes and we had a rough patch. We took some time to ourselves and got things straightened out before we would decide to work on our relationship again. It was hard being apart but we knew it would only strengthen our relationship if we were to ever get back together. Not knowing if we would stay a apart or not was hard. I had many talks with some very inspiring people, who helped me through this mess. I made some wonderful friends and gained such a strong testimony through this trial. I learned things I didn't know and become so much closer to my Father in Heaven. I felt the spirit so strong with me... I know he did too. We both made big choices in our life and in the end it only brought us closer. We decided to give it one more shot but only with higher standards. We have now been together for almost 9 months and we have not been happier. We've talked about the future and we decided we both want to get married in the temple wether or not it's with each other that's what we are GOING to do. He has decided he wants to go on a mission and I could not be more happy for him. I know we are both doing what is right. The path we have decided to take is helping us to find our way back to our Heavenly Father. There is nothing in this world that I want more than that. I am so grateful for all I have been blessed with and wouldn't want to be living any other way. 

You're all probably wondering who this mystery boy is, well maybe not since most of you reading know me... But his name is Riley. He is the best things that's ever happened to me. I live for the moments we share. He is my best friend, my other half, and my love. 

YOUNG LOVE<3
