The Deet's...

Since tweeting that I have a boyfriend i've been asked several times "how did it happen?" There have also have been people who had no idea and some who knew but didn't know how to ask. So here it is...my side of it anyways.

Warning this is a little lengthy...I mean, it is called details and not summary.

Pre - Baking 101
For five months Chris and I have sat next to each other during the 10am. This originally started off on accident and then I started saving the seat on purpose (I would quickly remove my phone or whatever was "holding" his seat before he got there). I later learned he began sitting next to me on purpose as well. During these 5 months it was rare for us to say more than five words to one another...on those rare occasions we would get a few sentences out. On one of those rare occasions Chris asked if I had ever thought about teaching baking classes (this was around Christmas time and I was cranking out treats like crazy), which he added he would attend and I let him know he'd be the first to know. A week later he asked for my number. I gave it to him and began doing the happy dance in my head, he asked me to check and see if the second half was correct and I said yes. I quickly realized that I had gone back into happy dance and didn't really check and make sure my number was correct. I had two options; hope that it was correct or admit I didn't really check....I went with option one.

Fast forward a few weeks:
I began to regret option number one...I still hadn't heard from him. Different options went through my head on how to handle this. Do I send him a msg on Facebook admitting I didn't really check to make sure he had the right number? Did he have the right number and just change his mind? Is he just as nervous about talking to me as I am? I'd like to thank Matty for his part in helping with the next step. We were in the office and he started asking about me and one of his musicians (you see, Matty had been on vacation). After turning beat red answering questions, I  quickly learned that Chris did in fact like me (yay!). The following Sunday is when the ball started rolling. We were entering week three of the Daniel Fast and Chris was asking me how it was going. I let him know it would be a lot easier if I had a crock pot so I could prepare soups and things while I was working. He then offered me his crock pot to use and brought it by the office Monday afternoon. Once the Daniel Fast was over I was in a baking mood, I then remembered Chris' comment about baking lessons. I quickly texted him asking his favorite cookie (Snickerdoodle) and if he wanted a baking lesson, which....he said yes to.

January 27th - Baking 101 (Snickerdoodle Night....if you hear someone call me "Snickerdoodle" this is where it came from). And no I don't have super duper powers on memorizing date (although I am pretty good), I had the date saved in my calendar.

At 5pm, I had coffee with some friends before Chris was to come over. Partially to settle my nerves and get advice. You see, I realized that Snickerdoodle's have to chill for 2 hrs...what the heck were we going to do for 2 hrs? Do I tell him before or just let him know when he gets there? This time I went with option two. That night we baked cookies, played Kinect and (for the two hour chill time) I made us dinner. The following night I met him up at Willie's to watch some of his friends play. Since then things have only been getting better each and every day.
