Hiccups

So I didn't think I would post again this week but I decided I should. One thing about relationships is that there is no perfect relationship. Wyatt and I are no exception. I wanted people to know that we are just like other people. We aren't perfect and we don't pretend to be. We have our disagreements, our misunderstandings, our frustrations, our hiccups. In fact we had one just yesterday. I'm not going to go into detail about it because it wasn't that big of a deal and it's not something that should be dwelt on. But we had one. And I'm lucky that Wyatt does everything he can to make sure that after these hiccups, I recover nicely. Even though we are apart right now as he is on vacation, he texts me to make sure I'm doing alright and that we hashed everything out. 

I love him. 

I've had other boyfriends and sometimes after these "hiccups" they decide it's not worth it to try to continue fighting for each other. That's what made Wyatt different. He wants to make it work and is willing to fight as long as I will fight with him. That's one reason why I love him. 
And even though we will have our hiccups, it's okay. It's expected. We are only human after all. We just have to be willing to work it out and that's what we do.  Because we know that the hiccups in our relationship are temporary but if we chose to dwell on them instead then we will make them permanent in our relationship which will only cause harm later down the road. 

You gotta learn to deal with the hiccups, not try to avoid them. I mean don't go looking for hiccups, but when they come deal with them instead of trying to avoid it. It's worse if you avoid it. 

That's my thoughts for tonight. I love my boyfriend and I'm glad he'll deal with our hiccups when we have them. I'm truly a lucky girl...even with the hiccups. 

A Little Bit About Me and Him :)

Hey everyone! My name is Alissa :) I've decided to keep a blog as I wait for my missionary. :) I will say this right now...he hasn't left yet. Some of you may be asking why start now then? Well I decided I should start it before he leaves so you guys can get to know him a little bit and understand why I love him so much and why I have made the decision to wait for him. A lot of people joke with me that I'll find some guy and get married before Wyatt gets back...call me naive, but I really don't plan on that happening. I know all the stories about being a missionary girlfriend, I've heard it all...but I honestly believe that if I truly love Wyatt like I say I do, then I will be able to wait. Plus, waiting for two years for him...I can't think of a better way to prove to him that I really do love him than that :)

So my boyfriend, Wyatt is incredible! He made the decision to serve the Lord for two years and I couldn't be prouder! He will be serving in the Mexico Chihuahua Mission and he reports to the MTC on September 17th!  So I have 45 days left before he's off for two years...not like I'm counting or anything haha. I really couldn't be happier for him and his decision even though I know I will miss him TONS!!!

Him when he opened his call :)

This is me...with my old glasses haha

So a little bit about me...I'm starting college in the fall at BYU. I plan on majoring in Health Education. I really love performing arts. I used to do a TON of theatre in high school and I was on my school's Ballroom Team. I used to be in band (flute) and I actually joined choir my senior year (which actually is part of the reason Wyatt and I finally got together haha...I'll explain later). So I'm all into that stuff. I used to play piano as well but recently haven't played it. Some other facts about me...um. I love kids! Where I currently work, I'm always around kids and I love it! I love just having fun and making people laugh. I love country music but I also am a big fan of Maroon 5. I'm super obsessed with Adam Levine. Total babe! So yeah...that's just a little bit about me :)

A little bit about Wyatt:

Wyatt being a goof

Wyatt is in a band with some of his friends and they're actually pretty good :) Wyatt plays guitar which I love haha. He has been in choir a lot longer than I have haha. Our senior year, he was in two choirs...one of them being the top choir. Wyatt is super silly. He will randomly start dancing all the time and I actually have a video of him dancing from our choir tour and I make fun of it all the time haha...maybe I'll post it some other time. He loves concerts! Hahaha. He's great with kids...which is a plus. After his mission he plans on going to Snow College for a couple of years...work on his generals and stuff and then maybe transfer to Utah State. He hasn't decided on a major yet, but that's okay because he's focusing on the Lord right now and that's great! :D He loves dogs...he is for sure not a cat fan haha...plus he told me he's allergic to cats. Also Wyatt likes to tell me things he might be allergic to or he knows he's allergic to...when it's there...like he waited for a cat to come and I started petting it and everything before he told me haha.

Our little love story:

Senior Class End of Year Thing

So Wyatt and I obviously went to high school together...but we didn't really become friends until our senior year. We had mutual friends and we would hang out with them a lot but we actually never really talked to each other...odd I know haha. He was dating another girl and I was dating another guy so we weren't even interested in each other anyways. Well during the summer of our senior year we actually started hanging out together with our mutual friends and I was actually off and on with a guy so I still wasn't quite interested in him. We become good friends though and he ended up taking me to Homecoming which was a blast but I still didn't like, like him haha. I was starting to see my ex again...dun, dun, DUN! Well crazy thing...we both actually got back with our exes! What are the odds? Haha. So we remained friends. Well Wyatt and his girlfriend broke up and I was starting to date other people. Finally something started to change and I started liking Wyatt...but I didn't want to push anything because I still didn't feel like I knew him too well and plus I was somewhat dating another guy...and honestly I didn't think he would like me back. Well little did I know Wyatt was having feelings for me too. Around February we both really started to like each other but I still had feelings for my ex (the first ex) and I didn't know what to do. We went on with life, just being friends...friends who liked each other but didn't want to admit it to one another. All our friends knew and kept telling us to just tell each other. We didn't. Well we both went on choir tour and the second day we all went to an Angels game. Wyatt kept looking at me differently and I didn't really know what to think about it haha so I just brushed it off. We got back to the hotel that night and I actually called my ex because I promised I would. So I talked to him to let him know I was safe and all the crazy adventures from the day and when I got off the phone I had a text message from Wyatt. I love hearing his side of the story from this night but I'll just tell you mine first. Obviously the text was him telling me he liked me. I started freaking out but told him I liked him too. Wyatt's side to that part is that they got back to the hotel and he let Kaleb (one of our friends) use his phone to call his girlfriend...while Kaleb was going to call, Wyatt pretty much said that he couldn't stand it anymore and asked for his phone back. Kaleb was confused so Wyatt told him he had to tell me. Apparently Wyatt had been wanting to tell me during the game. So we went on as friends that liked each other and knew it during tour and after tour for a while. We both were going to Prom a couple of weeks after tour...with different people...and would be in the same group so we didn't come out and say we were together until after Prom so our dates wouldn't feel as awkward even though they both knew (I actually went with Kaleb haha). And we've been dating ever since haha :)

So yeah, there's a little intro to us. I plan on continuing to post things before he goes on his mission so that you can get to know us some more. Right now he is on a family trip because they went to pick up his sister from her mission (who I can't wait to meet!!!). He won't be back until August 9th so I don't know if I will post anything more until then...but you are welcome to check...maybe I will post the video before he gets back haha. Hope you enjoyed it!

Me and Wyatt! He's a cutie!
