September 21, 1998 was the best day of our lives. That was the day when a little “wanna be boy” walked into the Orem Rec Center. There he was; a boy with brown hair, brown eyes, big ears and he could also dunk it! Now, some don’t believe in love at first sight, but being 8 years old, I would dare say that I fell in love with the 15 year old standing behind the counter! OK, you’re right, that’s not what happened. Well Sort of. When I (Caitlin) was a little girl I was a Gym Rat! I spent most of my days at the Orem Rec Center from 8 in the morning till 10 at night! Being there so much I met an employee (Aubrey) that became my little buddy, ok I was her little buddy. After a while her little brother (Brandon) started working there, I don’t remember much of him other than he could dunk it, and he burnt me an Outkast CD when I was 8. Yes, he burnt me and Outkast parental advisory CD when I was EIGHT. But we don’t judge right? It soon came the time where Aubrey went off to college, Brandon went to serve the Lord in Madrid, and I…graduated elementary school! When those milestones came in our life, we had to part! Ten years later, playing basketball for MVHS we went to play the Dons over at Spanish Fork. Sitting during the JV game I saw this girl that I couldn’t put a name to. Then it hit me! It was Aubrey! She looked the same, I’m sure I didn’t! I ended up getting Brandon’s number from her and sent him over a text! It was a little weird seeing that I was still in high school, and he was off his mission, and living on his own! After I graduated we “hung out” It wasn’t a date, I was still under age! At the time I was commited to go play soccer and basketball up in Idaho, so we tried to keep it casual. After a couple weeks, I knew that I needed to stay here in Utah. He was the reason!! So we “hung out” for the first time on June 5th, and have been together ever since!
