The separation.

On May 9, I left for the summer to Wichita Kansas. So far, it has been a really tough separation since we are both use to spending our entire day together. It has been great though, we have discovered many things about one another, and yes, there have been the occassional disagreements (she is always right). Dana has been keeping busy working at APX Alarm in the Data Entry Department, making crafts, playing with her little sisters, and helping her Mom around the house. As for myself, its the same thing day in and day out, installing alarms. I love my job but I miss Dana more and more each day we are apart. It is true you always appreciate the things in life you can't have. In my case, I cant see Dana. I love her and miss her and can't wait to start our life together...

How it all started.


This last school year I got a job at Sports Authority. One slow, late night in January I was working and Kylan walked into the store. He asked me if we had any sweat bands, so I decided to show him where they were because I thought he was pretty cute. I asked him if he was going to the university dance, he told me yes and tried convincing me to go so we could dance. I secretly wanted to go to find him but none of my friends were going and I was so tired from work so I never ended up going. Little did I know that Kylan went home after that encounter and told his roommates that "he found the girl he was going to marry". I was the 'sports authority girl' according to his roommates. He would drive by sports authority to see if I was working just so he could get my number, but I was never working when he did.

A month past by and we hadn't seen each other. Then my roommates through a birthday for me and mine and Kylans mutual friend Trevor came. Kylan has been friends with Trevor since they were kids. He told me, "Dana we need to talk" I was like oh no... what is this. He sat me down and told me he has a friend who had been talking about me and wanted to take me out. I asked who? After he told me it was Kylan I was pretty excited because he seemed like a fun, cute kid, and Trevor told me "he was the best guy he knows." So I told Trevor make sure you tell Kylan I want to go on a date with him.

A day or two passed, and I got a text saying hey Dana I was wondering if you could take my shift this weekend. I asked who it was and he told me; this is eddy I work in the back. I text him back and told him that I was pretty sure I didn't work with him and he must have the wrong person. He told me that he works in the back so that's why I never saw him. I had worked there for five months and I still questioned, so I called my work and asked if an "eddy" works there. Of coarse there was no "eddy" and I eventually found out it was Kylan messing with me. Ever since then we have been inseperable. We got engaged on the April 30th. It happened really fast but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Kylan and I are perfect for each other!

A new beginning.

Well, a couple days ago Kylan proposed! and I said "yes" of coarse. I have been so ecstatic since then, but I can't believe he is leaving in just a few days. Kylan installs for APX Alarm and is leaving to Oklahoma City this summer. So he will be gone for pretty much our whole engagement! Our date is September 2nd, but somehow I wish it was sooner. ;) This summer is going to go so slow!

A little bit about us..
{Kylan} is twenty-three years old, grew up in beautiful Collingston/Petersboro... (lets just say 15 minutes West of Logan) It's pretty much out in the county and I think he has a cute little country accent, but he never will admit it. He comes from a wonderful family of 10 that I am so lucky to be a part of. They are all married but his youngest sister, and he has a bunch of nieces and nephews so family dinners get a little crazy. He is majoring in Operations Management, and will graduate in 2 years. Kylan is the one of the smartest people I know, he likes to have a fun time, and he is very sweet and thoughtful.

As for {me}; I am twenty years old, grew up in Highand, and I come from a wonderful family of seven. I'll be the first to get married so I'm pretty sure my parents are freaking just a bit. I am majoring in Art with an emphasis in Graphic Design and I am very excited to get into the program. I love life and cannot wait to marry that boy!
