Dating

A lot of our first dates consisted of eating and then just driving around talking! I really enjoyed them because I got to really find out things about Jonathan and the type of person he was. Like I said, I was starting to really like him, but I didn't want to fall too hard because his plan was to start school the end of August at USU and I figured he would go up there and find a cowgirl to marry cause that's just what I thought his type would be, not some city girl! Also, don't forget I believe we started dating around the end of July first part of August, so we hadn't been on very many dates before he would be heading up to school so obviously there was no commitment when he went to school because we had hardly been dating. Well, as it got closer to school, I don't remember what happened this time, but maybe he missed the timing for registering or something, but he didn't get registered, so that meant he wouldn't be moving. So, since he wasn't going to be going to school, he decided to move down to Orem with his brother in their grandma's house and start working with his brother in Lehi. Yes! You can say I was a little excited! He would be closer! So, he moved to Orem in late August or early September and our dating continued. Our country dancing every Saturday continued too! I think we rarely ever missed a week of dancing, I really was addicted.
We started hanging out every weekend, which then turned into probably almost every night! We did some fun things, one of the dates that really sticks out in my mind is a drive we took up Provo canyon in the rain. We had a good talk and it is a date I will never forget. I figured we both must like each other as much as we hung out, but we never really discussed "us", part of the reason we had never discussed it was because Jonathan still had the plan to move up to Logan in January to start the next semester at USU. So really this dating was only going to last a few more months because there was no way I could go anywhere. I was going to school at UVSC at the time.
So, January came and Jonathan made the move up to Logan to his new apartment. Me and my friend went up there one night shortly after he had moved up there cause I really did miss him. Well...something happened again. He was registering for classes apparently, but something happened either with the computer or him getting registered, but when he registered it never went through, so he actually wasn't registered. At least I think that is the story to some effect of what he told me. I don't think his mom was too happy with him! :) After all this happened twice, but I believe in my heart now that that is what was suppose to happen because we were suppose to get married. I truly believe the Lord had a hand in both of these incidents of him not getting registered because we needed to be married and I don't think we would have got married had he gone to school any earlier than when he did because I had plans to go to SUU in Cedar City the next year to finish my degree.
So a few short weeks later, he moved back to Orem with his brother to keep working and we continued dating. Things really fell into place from this point on and all our plans were what we would do together because we both knew we would be getting married.
