As of Right now I do have a count down for Everything in my life.
*Five more days till Bastian gets back from Army training in Washington
*Ten more days till i hop on the Plane to China
*194 Days till I get married!
This has been one of the happiest times in my life, not only being able to meet my future husband but to gain so many friends and family that support me in my life decisions.
If nobody knows Bastian Cowsert’s and my story well here it is. I was living at home with my family basically waiting to go to China. I went to Education Week with my mom’s side of the family for a few days and there my Aunt Cherie offered me to stay in her house as no one was living there. It was very random as she asked me on a Saturday and i moved to her house that Monday.
I moved up to American Fork and decided to do another semester of college and work. When I went to my new singles ward I was scared as it was a family neighborhood and i was so use to Provo Singles Ward I did not know what to expect. My first time in this 36th was one of the best experiences ever! Everyone welcomed me and there was a spirit there that I could never explain.
There was a funny part of this story that not a lot of people know. My friend Stacy who i use to work with and randomly ended up in my ward made a bet with me. She said that i would be asked out on a date after two weeks of moving into the ward.
During these two weeks there were a lot of parties and hang outs that i went to and met so many fun and new people. The second to last day of this bet was Stake Conference, Stacy and I went to the adult session and decided we wanted to do a game night afterward. Our ward ended up going to the Purple Turtle (burger joint) and getting shakes for everyone. When i heard them call out my shake that I choose some cute guy came up and was reaching for MY SHAKE. How dare he, we had received the same Shake. Do do doooo :) I grabbed my shake and went and sat at a table outside by myself. This cute boy that clamed I had his shake came outside and sat next to me. Although he was cute i did not think anything of it, he was way to cute for me. I decided to invite him over to Stacy’s house to play games with all of us.
At this game night I sat on the couch right next to him while we played a male verses female game. The whole time I we were playing i could not get over how funny this guy was. I left and went to the restroom and left my cell phone on the couch. When i got back i saw that this cute guy named Bastian had snuck his number into my phone.
That night i texted him telling him how sly he was putting his number into my phone. I went to Stake Conference the next day and he was suppose to save me a seat next to him, but of course he didn’t. I went through all of stake conference sitting behind and we didn’t really talk to each other.
I got home from church and had a text message asking me if i wanted to go on a drive up the canyon. That was the start of Bastian and Jadie. We have been dating since September 7th and we are to be Married on July 31st in the Manti Temple. I know that we are all placed in certain places when we are ready for things to happen to us. I know that people in our lives are there for a reason, and i know that my Heavenly Father knows me better than anyone and has me go through experiences to help me become stronger for what is to come in my life.This has been one of the most fun, and scariest days of my life. I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with this man. I LOVE YOU BASTIAN COWSERT!
