I met Will through setting his friend up on a blind date with my friend (those friends are still together and part of our bridal party, Josiah Johnson, and Makara Gawryluk). I asked Josiah if he wanted to go on a blind date in the library at school. While I asked Josiah this, at the table with him was three others, one of them being Will. Josiah agreed to the blind date, and I got his contact so we could arrange it. The next day I was back in the library doing a paper for my Foundations of Church Ministry class (Will was also in that class), and while I was writing my paper Will came up to me and asked if I wanted to come over for open dorms (which is times during the week girls, and guys can hangout in dorm) and I said, yes. A couple friends and I went over for open dorms and we played games. I remember I was sitting next to Will, and I thought he was funny, and goofy. The next day I went on a walk with Will and our other friend Jeremy, and Caden. Then the day after that Will and I went on a walk. We went to Moose Jaw, and went to a park, walked around and talked for hours. When I met Will it was during our modular (reading) week, and a lot of my friends were gone and so were a lot of his, so we spend all of reading week together. We talked 24/7 over text, and when he wasn’t in his modular class (a class condensed into one week) we would be hanging out. Will says when he saw me in the library he had a crush on me, and when we went to the park together he knew he liked me a lot. Almost like when we went to the park and hung out his feelings were solidified. As for me, I’m not sure when I began liking Will. All I know is that I was in denial, and I was consistently saying that I did not want to be in a relationship. But God had other plans for me. If I had to pinpoint when I started having feelings for Will it would have probably been early on, at the park as well. Sooner or later I accepted the fact that I liked Will and stopped pushing my feelings away. When we both knew we liked each other we talked about our intentions, which were date to marry. And asked each other questions about each other, and got to know each other on a deeper level. I told him I wasn’t sure when I would be ready to get into another relationship. His response to that was, that is ok. We can get to know each other more. Sometime, could I take you out on a date? And I said yes. ( Fun Fact: Will was actually the first guy to ever ask me on a date, and take me out on a date). Three weeks later our friend, Matthew, asked us how long we have been going out. It was silent for a second then Will answered, we’re not. That’s when I thought to myself why are we not? Later on that evening I went to him in person, and I casually threw into conversation that I was ready. He was surprised, but also happy. We began going out on November 7th. 6 months later, he proposed, and 14 months later after we began dating we’ll be married.
