In early 2007 our work friendship was starting to bloom. He would spend time around the front desk and chat with all of us. He was such a stud. All of a sudden, he asked for help designing a tattoo of his soon to be wife, Stefani's name. I was so bummed but I remember joking, "You're getting a tattoo of my name? That's so nice. Oh but you spelled it wrong." and I'm also pretty sure that I said something to the effect of "yeah we'll be married someday." He doesn't remember such things, but he wasn't nearly as enamored with me as I was with him, so you can see why he doesn't remember. I did joke with his sister about us getting married, but apparently when the message was relayed, it sounded a little bit more like a creeper than a joke. (Thanks Heather)
So then Kurt left and got married. I like to think of it as the dark ages. I'm not really sure what happened in my life at this point because I don't exactly remember him being gone. I must have gotten over him because he was getting married and I knew he was just too bad ass for me in the first place. I'm no home wrecker.
Fall of 2007, Kurt came back. It was great because I really didn't expect to see him again. Molly and I spend that year at the rec center just in a complete crushing state. He was adorable and thought he was all bad, which of course, I was totally into. It was a really slow year. Not a lot happened other than really slow flirting. It was hardly anything at all.
Sometime in the late summer of 2008 a work friend finally told Kurt that I was into him. I cannot believe he didn't know. EVERYONE knew. Even the management knew. Fall of 2008, Kurt's friend Tyler left on his mission. I'd worked with Tyler for a while, so I went to the farewell. Kurt was there so I made a bold move and took his number out of a friend's phone and started texting him anonymously. Once he found out that it was me, he began to finally kick the flirting up a notch. The thing is, that I was dating someone at the time. Things work out the way they are supposed to because right about this time, I found out that my boyfriend was a total loser. Lucky for me, Kurt was there for me.
We dated until May of 2009 when he proposed to me at Lake Tahoe. It was sort of a conditional proposal, stating that it wouldn't be for quite some time before we actually got married. In theory, it was a great idea, but in reality, it drove me crazy. Alas, with a little bit of compromise, we got married June 11th, 2010. :)
