We met at our friend Emily Crockett's house. At the time, Shawn's older brother was dating Abigail Crockett, my bestfriend's sister, and his family came down to visit. In 2015, they were married. I would never have guessed I'd eventually be related to everyone in the Church. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later, right? Everyone knows the Crocketts. 😉 Anyway, I was twelve and he was fifteen. I had a huge crush on him and my way of expressing that was to kill him in Minecraft and try drowning him in Emily's pool. Good thing I didn't though. Three years later, we sort of learned to love each other.
We had just gotten back from visiting family and Shawn wanted to take Audrey, Sara and I to get our nails done and to buy icecream. After we got our nails done, while driving, the low tire pressure light came on. We were all upset because he had just spent a lot of money on us and if he had to buy a new tire it would cost him $400. It was also convincing because a few weeks before the same light came on and we found a razor blade stuck in his tire. Once we pulled into the Braum's parking lot, we noticed the tire on the front passenger side was flat. Shawn asked me to go in the back to get the jack while he tried to find the leak. Meanwhile, Sara was conveniently taking pictures for the "insurance company." While I was in the bed of the truck, he called me to the front saying he thought he found the problem. When I walked around to see, he was down on one knee. Turns out, while we were getting our nails done, he was letting the air out of his tire. It was very clever and I loved it!
