We first met at the gym in Monte Vista, a small town in rural Colorado. Earbuds in, and not really paying much attention, I saw Josh. He wanted a conversation, but I just wanted someone to "spot" me on my lift. Josh was so kind to oblige. He spotted me, and then I went on my way. It wasn't until later that I realized I had asked a very cute boy, with a heartbreaking smile, to spot me on that fateful day. Over the next few weeks we see each other in passing at the gym, and never was I so nervous to go to the gym until this. One Friday night, Josh mustered up the courage to ask me if I'd like to go skiing/snowboarding sometime. I was quick to say that I was going skiing the next day with some guy I met the previous week, and that Josh should join us! He agreed to go, but poor Josh thought he was third-wheeling that whole day. After skiing with us (and realizing I wasn't interested in the other guy), he took a shot in the dark and asked if I'd like to go out to dinner some time. After a brief text exchange, we went on our first date that very next day! The rest is history ;)
