(no subject)
I saw a list like this a while back, and decided to write one for the Giant for when I leave.
I remember..
… Watching ‘The Notebook’ with me and pretending to protest, then commenting on the movie sucking because it was so sad.
… when I moved, all three times, you were the one who was there start to finish to help me.
… going to the Swanstrom wedding, and ditching out at the last minute for dinner together
… when I was afraid and you’d drive over in the middle of the night to stay with me, despite having to work early in the morning
… all of the times you slept on the floor just so I felt safe.
… you staring down random guys because they glanced at me.
… all of the times I was a brat, including swim lessons, when you remained your pleasant, positive self.
… you making an effort to remember to introduce me to everyone.
… when we went to Blackfoot and Island Park, you drove almost the entire trip.
… when you came back a few days early from California to be my boyfriend
… when you got me the coolest trucker mug EVER!
… when you threw a surprise birthday for me, and I was oblivious to it.
… when you’d go longboarding just to hold my hand and pull me along.
… running, jumping and tackling you during soccer, and ultimate Frisbee.
… letting me be your secret weapon whenever we team up (“The distraction”) and letting me distract you whenever we’re on opposing teams.
… late night 7-11 runs for slurpees.
… our beach
… meeting at “the Spot”
… How you always let me know that you’re aware of me by putting your arm around me - I never feel forgotten or neglected.
… The way you pout when I’m a brat, and always forgive me when I’m a jerk.
…The way we wrestle and finally have to stop because I hurt you (because you’re the gentle giant)
… the way you always tell me how you think I’m beautiful, valuable, caring, loving, etc. etc. like you never tire of it.
… when you didn’t throw me in the water because I was shouting respect and honor between giggles.
… KICKING YOUR BUTT at Halo the night I met you
… the way you called me ‘refreshing’ the night we met, and how you hesitated when we parted after hanging out.
… when you FINALLY asked for my number to go biking
… joking around about me staring at your butt when we were biking.
… not being able to keep a smile from my face whenever we went to Johnny’s.
… when you beat me at our bet on Halo, and I never gave you your rewards
… trying to hang shelves in my new apartment and leaving holes all over the place.
… The first time we got to sleep beside each other at the cabin.
… When you made a romantic dinner for me at your house, with a candle lit dinner table and everything.
… the first time you made dinner for me, and helping your family paint afterwards.
… snarling about Amy Anderson hitting on you too much to your aunt
… Walking behind your lifeguard stand without saying “hi” because I thought it was stupid of me to go out of my way to see you.
… squealing and running for my phone when you’d call from Cali and Elisha trying not to give me away with her laughter.
… when I covered your car with hot pink heart shaped post-it notes
… when I covered your car with hot pink and lime green streamers, saran wrap, balloons proclaiming how special you are, “diva” stickers, and prize ribbons with my little brother.
… the first time my Nana met you, and gave you the biggest hug even though she’s half your size.
… the first time you met my dad, and the two of you went on talking about longboarding and skiing, etc. for about 20 minutes.
… the first time I met you when we were kids and thinking you were weird because you were home schooled.
… The first time you took me snowboarding and crawling over to each other and kissing on the hill.
… the first time I saw you swimming, doing the butterfly stroke in your jammer!
… Sleeping on the beach with you, Jake and Elisha. Then hitting the all you can eat breakfast afterwards after they went home.
… hanging out in your hot tub talking about why you were scared to date me.
… feeling like a moron because I broke the rules and told you I loved you first.
… convincing you to say you loved me “as a sister in Christ”
… you praying for me in my voicemail
… letting my friends listen to one of your 3 minute messages saying what you thought about me.
… filling up eachother’s voicemail inboxes. The fact that they’re still pretty much full.
… Making dinner for your family for the first time at my new place.
… How awesome it was to see your family show up to help me move when my own wouldn’t.
… wondering how we’d cuddle when my legs were too short to lay across your lap.
… the first time I cuddled in “the nook”
… the way you pat your chest to tell me to come lay on you.
… when you and Kelin tagged my car.
… when you met Nate and nearly broke his hand.
… when Garrett and I drove down to Moscow together to watch you coach at swim state.
… when I dyed my hair black and felt like Michael Jackson, and came over stating that I looked like a hooded freak and you comforted me, and told me I looked gorgeous and you loved my hair.
… always feeling wanted.
… going to Jack Johnson with you and asking you as many questions as I could about you, your thoughts and your family. Then feeling like a loser b/c I brought too much stuff to go closer to the stage.
… working at Arrowpoint and day dreaming about when you’d stop by and showing you off.
… when we said we wouldn’t kiss, and kissed within 2 hours of me getting back from Colorado.
…when you let me put your hair in pigtails
… the first time your sister and I ganged up on you with whipped cream, and I wound up getting covered in it.
…Playing halo with your little cousins and Anthony complaining about being on my team, then he wouldn’t leave it after I won
… goofing around “salsa” dancing to the desperado soundtrack
… You rocking out pretending the lampstand was a microphone
… when you and Jake would talk about my eyes being trouble/dangerous and giving me the song “She’s got the look”.
… the first night you kissed me, and your cheesy kissin’ line
… you always thinking I was too good for you, always trying to be as much of a man as you could, not realizing that you’re more of a man than I could ever hope for.
