The Holiday

Rachelle isn't much of a computer person so I will be doing most of the work here. To get it started, I'll tell about how we met.

We met in April 2007 at the Holiday Oil on 1600 North in Orem. I was working at the time and Rachelle was filling her car up on her way to work. My boss, Vaughn, enjoyed trying to find Darryl, my coworker, and I dates. He would try tell us he will get girls numbers, but never would.

So Rachelle came in, paid for gas and went out to fill up her car. After she left the store I asked Vaughn to get us her number. Much to my surprise he grabbed some paper and walked out to her pump. Darryl and I turned on the speaker at the pump so we could hear what they were saying. She seemed skeptical but decided to give him her number.

Later that week, Darryl and I were planning to go on a double date. I had already asked someone and Darryl needed a date so I told him to take Rachelle. He called and left a message, but got no response. The next week we decided to see if she was trying to avoid us(cause we work at a gas station) so we both text messaged her. She responded to us both and thus began our conversations.

We text messaged occasionally over the month. I tried to hang out with her one night, but she was doing "homework"(she still claims to this day that she really was doing homework on a Friday night). After that excuse, I had given up and didn't plan on talking to her again. But about a week later she asked if I wanted to go out with her. Unfortunately, I had a date that weekend and was unable to go out with her. After seeing that she was interested I asked her out and we finally went out on our first date at the beginning of June. It was actually the same night that my brother Clayton got engaged.
