Who’s Kevin??

Well, to continue on from my story from a while back...I thought it only fair to explain how Kevin and I started dating.

Fall semester of my sophomore year, I decided to go on PacRim. So while I’m on this trip...one of my new  friends, was Carrie.

Anway, Carrie used to tell me stories of her and her boyfriend and all their awkward first moments. She is such a great story teller! Anyway, I remember sitting in an internet café in Sydney, being obnoxious (I still had a bit of that freshman attitude left over) and talking to Carrie while she was trying to Skype with her boyfriend, Jeremy.

Well the conversation turned to finding me a boyfriend (yes...pathetic). Although I’d never met Jeremy, his first idea was that I should date his roommate/cousin. So Carrie asked “Do you know Kevin Boone?” The name did not ring a bell, so I said “Nope, who’s Kevin?” Carrie pulled up his picture online and after seeing it, I told her “uh...no, that kid doesn’t talk.” Well unfortunately Jeremy overheard and decided to have a word with me beginning with “what was wrong with my cousin Kevin!?” Whoops!

So basically the rest is history

After coming back to the states at the end of the semester, it apparently became a running joke that Kevin and I would start dating. It wasn’t gradually...I mean I literally stepped off the bus that day and meet Jeremy who, with a goofy smile, proceeded to introduce me again to his cousin, Kevin.

That spring, Carrie lived in the apartment above mine. So throughout the semester Kevin and I would be sent on trips to get a cup of sugar (classic right?!), or return a movie while he was conveniently watching The Office in Carrie’s apartment, or catch a ride to church together, just to put us in the same room together and make us talk.

Then one day, I marched up to him on the basketball court and said “Hey, why aren’t we dating??”

And that was 2 years and 8 months ago!

Taken right before dating...



Right after! (we look much better haha)



**Oh, and I’d also like to add, today was my last day of classes!!! However, it would be a lot more exciting if (A) that didn’t mean finals were coming up and (B) these same classes didn’t continue 2^nd semester as well.
