Hey! So I have not done anything with this forever and I’m
going to blame it on the amazingly wonderful Brooks Lindberg who stole all my
free time by his manly charm! Speaking of Brooks, I think I shall dedicate a
post to the boy who ended all posts for such a long time!
So I’ve been dating Brooks for 2 years, but I’ve totally
been head over heels for him for 3 :/ Yep! The whole “love at first sight”
thing is pretty much the story of how I met Brooks. It was my first audition for a production at
Snow College and I was extremely nervous so that nervous energy chose to
channel itself into fixing the cow lick of the cute boy in front of me… yeah…
touching random guy’s heads is something I did back then I guess! This really attractive guy would be Brooks
which it was also his first audition at Snow.

| American Gothic... our take. |
We were auditioning for Arsenic and Old Lace (a personal favorite!) and
Brooks and I kept getting called up to read together for the part of Nathan and
Elaine the lovers of the play which I was REALLY okay with! Brooks got the part, I on the other hand came
close but lost out to another girl. But
from that day Brooks was definitely cemented in my head as THE guy. The perfect
guy that everyone dreams about but never actually exists.
Well the semester went by and little by little I got to know
Brooks better and start to like him for his personality; he was so funny,
intelligent, talented and interesting… unlucky for me I was not the only one to
notice and for the rest of the year Brooks was in and out of different relationships. Always my ideal guy and always out of
reach.

So when I graduated from Snow I figured all chances were
dead and gone as I’d be off to USU and Brooks would have his 2nd
year at Snow ahead of him. Over the
summer to my great pleasure and delight, Brooks started texting me, *cue texts
of ridiculous amounts of over the top flirting*. During fall semester Brooks and I kept in
contact pretty regularly and I made the decision to go see him in Taming of the
Shrew at Snow where he was playing the lead character whose name I can’t even
begin to spell. I told everyone I was
going back to see all my old friends, but it was definitely just Brooks. When I
arrived I called him and made up some story about me needing to put air in my
tires but not knowing how (lies!).
Brooks came to the rescue and we ended up spending the whole day
together: perfection! This happened a 2nd
time during November for their other school play, this time though Brooks told
me he liked me which was pretty amazing (even if he did call me a Buffalo in
the process)! Well we worked hard and
made it work long distance (3 hours away) we saw each other roughly 4 days out
of a month but talked 2 or so hours on the phone every night. I’m so happy that now we live in the same
apartment complex and I can see him whenever I feel like it.
I’m so lucky to have Brooks and so happy to be with him. He
writes me notes with the perfect blend between ridiculous and loving, has the enthusiasm
of a 5 year old at times, and to top it all off he is my best friend. I feel as though I am constantly growing with him, thinking more than I’ve
ever thought and truly discovering myself in the process. I’m the happiest I’ve
ever been in my life and I always want to spend every last second I have with
him. I mean, I love him enough to listen to a 30
minute discussion on the book he’s currently reading when he’s only like 10 pages
in. Sorry for the sappy post! Just have to let everyone know!!
