How I became Schatz

So I think I'm due to tell you all about how me and Ethan became me and Ethan. We are in the same stake back home, so we have known each other for about 7 years. We weren't really friends but he is a really good friend with my cousin so he knew my family and of me. When we were 14 we both went down to EFY the same week in Provo however we were in different sessions. For the last dance they combined our sessions. There was a girl ask guy dance and I was looking around for some cute guy to dance with. I see this guy across the way and decide that he is super cute and that I just had to ask him. So I went up to him and tapped him on the shoulder and asked him for the dance. We start dancing and I had no idea who he was until he asked, "Aren't you Jordan's Cousin?" I look at him and respond "Yeah how do you know that?" "I'm from Walla Walla, were good friends." It didn't dawn on me till then that he was in my stake, and yes I did recognize him. After that I was in love. But one of those you know its never going to happen in love feeling. Whenever I saw him at a stake dance he was always with this one girl so I figured he had a girlfriend. So I admired him from afar haha. It wasn't until my senior year that we became facebook friends and we talked every once and awhile and became friends. Later on in my senior year I had the chance to come up to Rexburg to stay with a good friend of mine and knew that Ethan and another guy from our stake were rooming together and I thought it would be fun to hang out with them. I did have a chance to hang out with Ethan one on one and things just clicked. The conversation flowed and things went great. I had to leave but missed my plane home and the only person I knew with a car in Rexburg was Ethan. So he rescued me from the airport. We hung out that night and I so badly wanted to hold his hand when we were watching a movie. I went home the next day but we continued to facebook each other and texted back and forth. I got up the guts to ask him to my prom cause I knew he would be home by then. The weekend before we went on our first official date. It was good but didn't go the exact way I planed. I ended up throwing up my dinner on the side of the road. But that's a story for a different time. We became official the week after prom and things have been going great ever since. How I got my nick name. We had been dating a couple of months when I got into a car accident. He came over (we live in two differen't towns and states for that matter but are only 45 minutes apart). to make sure that I was ok. I was really broken up about it cause it was my fault. Anyway we were laying on my couch and he was comforting me. He turned me around to face him and he said that he had the perfect nick name fore me. I asked him what that was. He said that it was Schatz. I just looked at him cause I had no idea what that meant. He smiled and said that it was German for treasure, and that I was his treasure. From that day on I've been Schatz. Even though he has been gone more than a year we are still madly in love. I'm so proud of him and the work he is doing in Australia. So that's my story. :D
