One year....

I honestly can't believe I met Chris a year ago, and we have been dating for a year.

We can thank his mom for introducing us.

We met on Monday May 17 2010, at my work.

I was so nervous when I saw his family walk into the daycare.

I was just freaking out and wondering who this good-looking guy was.

And his mom introduced us.

Then I wrote him a little note that went something like this:

Hey Chris it's Tori from the preschool.

I think you're really cute and we should hang out sometime.

Then I put my number on it.

And put it in his little sister's bag and later I found out his mom found it first and then gave it to him, then I got a text and he asked me what I was doing that Friday.

So we went on our first date on Friday, May 21st 2010.

He came and picked me up and he had some roses and I honestly wanted to melt...

We went to Applebees. 

I honestly was so freaking nervous the whole time I felt like I was sweating SOO bad.

Then we went and saw Iron Man 2. I hadn't even seen Iron Man 1 so I was a little lost but I didn't care because I was just so happy I was on a date with Chris.

Then after that we went to his house and watched a movie.

And had out first kiss.

:)

Then we went on another date on Saturday night and he brought me more roses. I was yet again a very happy girl.

And I am pretty sure we hung out on Sunday too.

When I saw this quote I knew it was meant for me and Chris.

It's still one of my quotes...

iN EVERY GiRLS LiFE THERES A BOY SHE'LL NEVER FORGET && A SUMMER WHERE iT ALL BEGAN. Summer 2010 was very unforgettable!

We spent the summer going on lotts of dates, going to the lake a ton, hanging out,

and just having fun.

He also got to come to the lake with me and the family.

That was way fun too.

We had such a fun year.

I am so glad I met you Chris.

I know we met for a reason and that you moved to STG for a reason.

And I am so glad we met and we are dating.

You make me so happy.

You make me wanna be a better person.

You keep me on the right path.

You do amazing things for us.

You make me laugh so hard.

You show me how important the little things in life are.

You love sports and so do I.

We both know how important our families are to each of us.

You like the Lakers, but I still love you.

You are such a hard worker and I love that.

You are so smart.

You know all the right things to say to help encourage me, cheer me up, and build me up.

You are so easy to talk to.

I love all the little things we do together.

Thanks for everything Chris,

I LOVE YOU!

On our Year anniversary we went and saw Pirates with our new friends Bryce and Olivia.

They are our new couple that we hang out with and we LOVE them.

Here are some pictures of our first year together. 

My 21'st Birthday

I had a lovely 21st Birthday!

Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes.

I woke up so very early, about at 6:30 to head over the the DMV in Hurricane.

Because everyone was telling me that there are always so busy and it'll take me forever to get my liscence.

So then I got there at about 8 a.m. and was in and out of the DMV in about 15 minuets.

So I went into work at 10 and got off at 2.

Chris brought me some balloons and roses to work, it was so cute! 

Went and donated some plasma, did a little birthday shopping for myself and went and go ready and went out to dinner to my favorite place. Olive Garden.

It was deliciously divine.

And that was my birthday.

It went by way to fast

But I had a great day. Here's to another fun year with many new and fun life experiences.

Us on my Birthday.

Chris also gave me money for my Vegas trip.

What a spoiled girl I am :)

A bit of a Venting Blog.

Yeah, I know I haven't blogged in a Month or so.

School is over the crazy life is settling down.

And I have my computer back.

(Chris' stepdad borrowed it for a job interview he had.)

This next part could offend some people, but I could really care less...

This is MY blog.

I need to vent.

So too bad.

I just wanted to start out about how crazy life can be.

Even the smallest things that you don't really think about like: 

What you said to someone...

Being there for "friends"...

I guess the competition of who is the better Best Friend..

Or venting to a friend...

Could completely change relationships with old friends.

Who I really thought were my friends.

Some things were said. 

I don't regret saying them.

It's just crazy someone you were friends with for years.

Someone who I thought I trusted.

Someone who was a dear friend...

Turned their back on me fast.

I don't understand it.

It made me loose two good friends..

Or a least I thought they were good friends..

But I found out that life goes on...

I still have some great dear friends from my past.

And so pretty sweet new friends too.

And I have my amazing family.

And my two awesome sissys.

This is why I believe everything happens for a reason.

I don't know what the reason is.

But I know I am trying to be a better person because of it.

I am done wasting my time with people that I don't need in my life.

So BUH-BYE!

I have too many amazing people in my life right now and I will focus my time with them.

Anyway

I have much more to blog about.

School is over. Summer is in!

Another Bored Blog

Well it's Saturday night.

Chris is playing video games.

My brain is dead from studying this whole week and today.

My day consisted of a class I had to take for work from 8-1.

I can't wait till March is over and then maybe I can have my Saturday's back.

But probably not because I'll probably start reffing basketball again. 

But that's okay because it's money and I get some exercise too.

And everyone's favorite getting yelled at by the players. HA NOT!

Anyway. I woke up at 7 like I do everyday.

Got ready for my class.

Which I was so very excited about.

It's called Help Me Grow: Ages and Stages.
I thought it was going to be this was fun class about how kids grow up and the different ages and stages they are but I was SO wrong. It was nothing I was expecting.

This was more about doing tests and studies on my kids in my class and seeing if they are behind or not.

I hate to break it to ya people.

But I am only 20 years old.

Who am I to tell my kids parents if something is wrong with their child.

At their age there are so many things that could be going wrong with them and that's why they are acting the way they are.

So needless to say I HATED the class.

But like my dad said... take it with a grain of salt.

I am NOT looking forward to the second session of the class next week.

So after the class I ran home took Jacey to work.

Went and picked up Chris so we could have lunch together.

Oh yeah Chris' car is broken and has been for two weeks so he is carless.

Poor kid.

So his mom and I both try and help out in ways we possibly can.

After that I went over to Britt's to study for our Biology Midterm that we have on Monday.

Yeah, I am freaking out A LOT!

Thank goodness I have her in the class.

She's so smart and comes up with the funniest ways to help me remember what we study.

Thanks Sissy!

After that I picked Chris up from work and we went back to his house and we both just totally crashed.

It was a great three hour nap.

I don't think either of us will be getting good sleep tonight tho. haha.

I had an ok spring break.

It was nice to just work and study this week.

But back to my other real life with work and school and everything else.

Oh did I mention that Britt and I are playing on a woman's b-ball city league?

I love it. Finally STG well Washington is getting their stuff together and getting some b-ball in for us.

Life is going pretty well.

I have a job. Can't complain.

Chris is doing amazing at Sprint.

I have an amazing boyfriend who does SO much for me.

Listens to me when I cry and always offers good advice.

Puts up with me when I am cranky.

Will rub my back or arm to help me sleep.

He understands that at the end of the day I am pooped and I may or may not fall asleep watching a movie with him.

I fall asleep more than not.

I have great friends.

I am glad I've kept in contact with a few girls from high school.

I love those three girls very much.

Morgan. Kylie Boo. Brianna.

We talk. Text. Facebook. I wish we could talk more and see each other more.

But we've got years of friendship and loads of memories and laughter and I wouldn't trade any of that for the world.

I have great new friends too.

My roomies.

Susy Q. Amelia. Britt.

And my fav haha Jacey Loo.

We've gotten really close and me her and Chris are the three musketeers.

She calls me her big sister and I call her my little sister.

She is a great friend and I am very glad we met and I know she moved into B-9 for a reason!

I have an amazing family who loves me very much and I love them.

I miss all of them dearly.

From my close family to my extended family.

I am so thankful for my parents and all they do to help me.

My poor dad puts up with me and is always there to listen to me. Give good advice and counsel me.

Thanks so much everyone.

I love you all so very much.

Oh on another Tori Tangent.

There is a yummy frozen yogurt store called "Krave" it's right next to Chris' work and needless to say I am ADDiCTED!

I love Spoon Me still. But I have Krave fever too.

Anyways, I just wanted to have a good rambling blog.

Enjoy.

Here's to another week.

2 months till summer.

And my Birthday!!!

Red Lobster Date

Chris LOVES Red Lobster. 

I'm not a fan of fish at all.
We were going out to dinner a few weeks ago and he asked if we could go to Red Lobster.

So I said okay. I was just hoping they had someone else to eat other than fish.

So I got the Grilled Maple Chicken, it was really really good.

Chris got the Coconut Shrimp and Crab Legs.

I LOVED the biscuits they have there.

I tried Chris' food. I wasn't too found of the crab but the shrimp was SOOO good! I loved the sauce.
Here is Chris with his crab leg.

Later that weekend, Chris and I went to Walmart. Being the amazing boyfriend he is, he carried all of my groceries out to my car.
And we decided this...
We are never getting married so we don't get tied down and we don't have to drive around in a MAV. hahah
