Falling in love while the ward watches...

When I was at church on Sunday, I was painfully reminded that during the period of time when I was trying to decide if I wanted to be interested in him, he was flirting with me like crazy. He would wink at me if i saw him at the grocery store. He would reach out and "touch my elbow" when he walked by me in the halls of the church. I DROVE MY FRIENDS CRAZY trying to get them to help me figure out what all of this meant. I was unable to be myself, which is not a good sign for a relationship. Just a couple of months before he asked me out, the Sunday School Presidency threw a party for all of the teachers. Bill was a SS teacher at this time. In fact, he was Jenn's SS teacher. I was invited to this party. What is strange about this is that I WASN'T A Sunday School TEACHER!. When I asked them why they had invited me, they said it was because I substituted so much. I think I had subbed once, maybe twice. Nevertheless I went, and my guy was there. We actually talked and I was able to coordinate my brain with my mouth. It was yet another example of how the ward was standing by, cheering us on. Thank you Bill and Barbara Shelton. We will always love you for this.
