A year ago today I was at a shower for my friend Brandi when Grayson called & asked if I wanted to go to a movie.  A couple from our church was getting married that night & "everyone else" was going there.  Sure.  Sneaky.

I told myself that was the whole truth.  Grayson just didn't have anything else to do that night.  We hung out lots in groups of friends, but I could count on one hand how many one-on-one conversations we'd had.  Once I got home, I even attempted to look like I wasn't trying too hard...the one day my hair obeyed & looked awesome.  At dinner, as I sat across from this cute boy & listened to him talk, I wondered how I'd never known him before.  He captivated me in the first ten minutes of that first date & has ever since.  He paid for dinner, while I convinced myself that he was just being nice.  Same thing when we went to a movie.  After that, he came over to my house & as we were watching a movie, he sneakily leaned over & kissed me...& that's when I found out it was a date.  It didn't take long to know that I wanted to date him forever.
