the beginning from Natalie's point of view.

i guess the best stories have beginnings so i will have to back track and start ours so we can get somewhere. Steven and i met in 2002 working at Denny's in South Ogden.

We were both servers on the swing shift. i of course had a chump boyfriend at the time but didn't take the relationship as anything that could tie me down lol. i was 16 could you really expect more? man i was so much more fun back then.
So my first recollection of our major encounter is a day when he came in to work on his day off with some of his super cool friends Jeff and Rodney they requested to sit in my section and i was on my lunch break. my manager cam into the back room and told me i had a request and to hurry and clock in. when i come out there are these three silly boys who tell me they ordered me coffee and that i needed to come sit with them. well now im on the clock so i tell them dont think i could sit in my uniform especially coming off lunch and besides i am Mormon and Mormons dont drink coffee but thanks anyway boys. full of excuses trying to let them down easy. Anyway Steven ha ha the little sweet talker, got the manager to make me sit down with him or she would send me home for the night. since i couldn't drink the coffee they ordered cheese fries and we sat there for like an hour just hanging out and  laughing. let me just tell you Stevens friend Rodney was the crudest perve i had ever been around back then! he was so funny to me.
so my first impression of Steve??? he has a cute friend lol i do love the bad boys. ha ha . well don't fret the story is just getting started and i didn't end up with Rodney thank goodness. (no offense rod we love ya).

So as we continued to work together i was still with this boyfriend i had up in Morgan that i only saw once a month or so and i thought another co worker was cute named bill and he and Steven love to lock us girls in the freezer in the back room. lots of horsing around on the clock but we never talked outside work. Steve attempted to ask me out twice with the old "we should go out sometime" let me tell ya im not the girl this passive approach works on. poor guy.  my reply both times was "ya sometime..." and then nothing.

The First Date Finally!

Well my best friend Ang came in to Denny's on a date that she was dreading being on with a poor guy that never had a chance of getting off the "friend" back-burner. she requested Denny's on a night she knew i worked so i could chaperon so he couldn't put on the creeper charm. smart girl. he wanted to take her to a dance at Weber State University after dinner. well here is where she lucked out and i was the best friend a girl to ask for. i only worked till 7 and the manager was cutting Steven from the floor early so i marched up to him with a grin on my face and said it looks like your getting that date you keep asking me on, Your taking me dancing.
now you get a to be continued cause i have to go pick him up from work

life....it all happens so fast.

Man where to even start????  i have to tell you i haven't journaled (is that even a word? not coming up in spell check) in a long time and i have kind of been dreading starting one of these. But thanks to Sheena and Traci my jealousy of their cute blogs made me jump. Oh, and  I apologize ahead of time for my bad spelling, grammar, and punctuation. i have failed a few English classes in my life, so a big fat giant sorry to my English teacher Mrs Lyon i don't think absorbed anything pertinent in any of your classes, and you really did try hard.

Sweet i guess im saved by the gym i can start my story later thanks Traci!
