Whitney and Zach

hello!! my name is whitney and my missionaries name is Zach! first of all hes the love of my life and i cant wait for him to be back! he left April 6th 2011! so we met almost 4 years ago at EFY! it was july the week of my birthday! he was in my company and the first day we had to introduce ourselves we said our name and our favorite candy! oh we also had to have an adjective to describe us. SO i introduced myself as wonderful whitney and my favorite candy is recess. then the next day was my birthday and he got me a recess and hung out with me all day! the next day was horrible for me and i felt like nobody liked me so i kind of separated myself from everyone. he noticed this and escorted me EVERYWHERE! haha then we wrote notes back and forth all week and he asked me if i liked anyone and i said yes then he said what color is his eyes? and i didnt know what his eye color was, so i looked over at him and he smiled big time! haha hes so clever! then i asked if he liked anyone and he said yes and i asked him what color her eyes were and he said same as mine without even looking at me! haha so we knew that we liked each other and he came to my dorm and played pool with me! haha it was amazing then we went to a banquet and dance then talked on the phone all night and then i woke up late on the goodbye day and ran down to see him and my clothes were on BACKWARDS AND INSIDE OUT! haha he said it was the cutest thing ever! then we went home. he lives in washington and i live in idaho! so we have a long distance relationship! but we talked on the phone like non stop and a few months after we said i love you for the first time!
haha and as the years went on we had a hard time! we werent the nicest people to each other but the love was still there! he came to see me with his family! despite all the hard times, we still worked as hard as we could to be close! and then a year passed and i talked my mom into going to see him! so we went to his town as a graduation present! haha he didnt know! so when i got there i called him and told him to go check the mail cuz i sent him something! i hid behind the mailbox and when i saw he was walking to it i asked him if he could do me a favor and he said of course and i said catch me! he was confused and so i showed myself and ran and jumped on him and kissed him! hehe then we spent the week together!
and then i had to leave and the next 2 years was really hard! so we wrote for like 5 months because of a lack of communication devices and i then went to college and got my cell phone and computer! we talked and he came to see me twice!! so that was awesome and now im at college again and when he got his call he had me on the phone and then he said it would be 5 months before he left and now hes gone! but we would talk nonstop!! every chance i got i would call him! we would talk all day and then we would fall asleep on the phone! when i woke up in the morning he would still be there! i loved it! that was my favorite part of the whole long distance relationship!
But the day before he got set apart we got on skype. we skyped all day and then we tried to stay up all night but we fell asleep on camera! it was so sweet! i woke up in the morning and looked at my computer! i saw my future husband sleeping as deep as he could! haha he looked so sweet and peaceful! i stared at him for probably a good hour! then he woke up and we spent like 5 hrs together on skype. then we said our goodbyes and he got set apart!
That is our story in a nutshell. yes i know it was a long post so the word nutshell isnt really a good word to use. BUT our relationship is so much more than this! if only everyone knew/ saw what i do! so when he gets back and we get married ill tell you the rest of my story!!!!
