Over the years you might remember me gushing, literally, about a Dave guy. I met him snowshoeing the second week of attending the Bair Canyon Branch almost three years ago, but I didn't get to know him until two and a half years ago when I went on my first trip to the Snake River. Dave was the first guy to throw me off my raft into the water, and every time we went down the river his raft was at war with mine. We got to know each other a little bit, but not too much right away. Then every couple months he'd come up to Kaysville from Salt Lake to visit his family, and he'd come to the branch. It was so funny seeing him right after the river trip, because when he spotted me he said, "You're the fighter!" I'm glad that's how he remembered me.:)
He's always been just out of reach with a girlfriend, but I've always come back to him, hoping. I can't believe it's been so long now! Every time we'd see each other we'd catch up on life, but he always had a girlfriend and was living in Salt Lake. I'd see him at church and in Salt Lake at institute and even at his work. Dave's the guy who I told you about last year who I ran into at REI when I was wearing my bibbed snow pants.:) Ha ha ha. He's seen me go through probably six different hair styles since January 2006, which got kind of comical. When I first dyed it black a year and a half ago and had it in a short choppy, messy style, we ran into each other up at the U. He said, "Oh, your hair's different. Do you like it?" I said yes, of course, and he said, "Good. That's all that matters." What a good guy. :) He probably was like, what's with this freaky girl who looks different every time I see her!
So Dave finally transfered to the branch a couple months ago, and then just about a month ago broke up with his girlfriend. We've been slowly getting to know each other better, which has been really, really good. He's not yet over his last relationship, which is just fine. That's all I'm saying for now. We'll just have to wait and see what happens!
(And, by the way, in the picture I was trying to hold a tough, hardened look, but I lost it right before the picture was taken. That's why I look like I'm grimacing. Ha ha!)
