How can I even start to describe this friend of mine? I've known him for 6 months now. He's 18. Leap year student. Hes smart beyond the books. Super sweet. Has one of the best laughs ever. Always smiling. Actor. Singer. Musician. Farm boy. Hard worker. Baseball player. Curling team member. Close friend. Funny. Red hair. Tall. Green eyes. Prince Harry look-a-like. Man of God. Jordy. Jordan.
I met Jordan January 9,2011 at a bowling ally with a bunch of other people. I met him through my friend Trisha. Now this whole meeting is tied into this blog post http://alysha-365daysoftheunknown.blogspot.com/2011/06/you-were-best-thing-thats-ever-been.html where I talk about telling my best friend I liked him. Well you see, that same day I was more I guess concentrated on my best friend at the time then anything, so when I met Jordan I didn't think much of it, just thought "cool new friends that I'm probably never gonna see again" haha So when I met him...well actually I never actually met him....Trisha had told me every ones names (FYI there were about 10 of us, so i didn't remember any names) All I remember is that we were bowling and then I guess he had said something and I laughed and that's how was met. And then after all of us were done bowling we decided that we were going to go see a movie. We ended up seeing Yogi Bear in 3D. And from that day, I was given the name Giggles :) I'm not sure which one started the name (Jordan or his best friend Curt) Anyways, Jordan has been calling me Giggles every single day for the last 6 months haha. Now when I first met Jordan, I thought hes funny and cute....but obviously didn't work at anything past that cuz the situation I was already in. Well Jordan didn't know the situation I was in...and well....one thing led to another and he "fell" for me!
Well this is where we start getting into story time! I was at school and it was either Trisha or Abi who had told me that Jordan had 'fallen" for me. And I was like "WHAT!" Well by the time I heard this news, I had already gotten over the whole Ben thing, so I was like "Really?!?" Umm OK... haha Well what happens next is the cutest thing that has probably ever happened to me. Well the night I met Curt and Jordan I had added them to FB. Well Jordan had in boxed me like the day after I met him and asked me for my number in the oddest, weirdest, cutest way ever...(you have to read it to understand what I'm talking about) lol Anyways I gave him my number and called him adorable....This is what started our 6 month friendship/confused semi relationship. <- that I will explain. Well we texted each other everyday after this....and that is when, well I started to develop feelings for him as well. Things were going great! He even surprised me on Valentine's Day with a text at lunch time and told me I was his Valentine and wrote me a little poem. ( I still have it :D) It had to be one of the cutest things a guy as ever done for me and completely made my day!
The end of February is when I saw him again. ( We live 45 mins away from each other and go to different school's) We were all supposed to get together and go bowling again! So I was in for some good times once again! I remember it was a Sunday, and I was soo excited to just leave my house and go and have fun! So he had texted me and told me that were going to Marcin bowl at 2. Well I was too eager that I didn't read the marcin bowl part and well I ended up going to high way bowl. (That's where we were last time) So were driving to the bowling ally, and for some reason I was beyond nerves! Well I knew that it was because I was going to get to see him! Well when I look back and I came to the conclusion at the end of the day that it wasn't him, it was God trying to tell me your going to the wrong place! Well I figured that out the hard way! I get there and NO ONE was there, so I texted Jordan and hes like where are you cuz were at Marcin. Marcin...MARcin...MARCIN...nice one Alysha. Lets just say it all ended great by the end! The time I got to spend with him made me realize....I don't just like the guy...I like him ALOT! So I felt like I had to tell him....so I did.....He then replied with "well I like you....ALOT...but I don't know what's gonna happen next year" (did I forget to mention that hes leaving to go to school 16 hrs away for 4 years....) yeah great timing! I finally find a great guy that I truly like...and he just happens to be moving away...just my luck I thought.
In about mid April...we were texting and he told me that we could never be together because of his schooling.....this broke me and it hurt! It sure hurt! And it hurt because I was starting to have feeling for this guy that I NEVER had with my ex. So from then...I didn't really want to talk to him...and I thought maybe not talking to him for a week or so, he would forget about me and move on.....THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. I think I texted him about 3 days later.....something was making me stay to him..and I didn't know what it was. We talked for awhile....but I had to move on because I didn't want to get hurt again, so I put those feelings aside and moved on. I did still pray though that if it was in God's plan to make something happen he would. Well nothing really happened for like a month or so. And then it was about a month and a half now that I received a inbox message from him...and it was the 1st line that reminded me of why I had liked him sooo much! "Dear Giggles, I can not even start to express how much I have missed talking to you about everything......." And all those feelings that I had once try to put to the side, filled my body once again.
We have talked every single day since that message, and it's like nothing ever happened between us. We talk about our days, what were doing etc etc...It had been about 3 months since I had last seen him, and about 2 weeks ago now, I got to see him again! I was sooooo excited to see him! I have and still never have ever gotten nervous about anybody, especially a guy...and this guy in particular makes me nervous haha I don't know why...But it was a Monday I saw him, his church was holding a revival follow up and my church had just finished the revival summit. I was excited cuz not only did I get to experience more revival (FYI I didn't want them to leave my church, that's why I came to his church for more revival), I also got to see him and friends I have not seen in about 3 months! It was the best thing ever! So I walk inside and I sit down at the back of the church and I looked up and he was sitting at the front of the church...and well then my body would not stop shaking....it was kinda of ridiculous... My hands would not stay still long enough for me to write my own name on the piece of paper....I didn't get to see him for very long or even have a convo with him for that matter cuz of how there service was set up, but that all changed on the Wednesday when I was back at the church. I saw him and I didn't get as nervous (I think that's cuz I was with friends) but I was still kinda skid dish. It was AWESOME to finally have a face to face convo! After not seeing each other for 3 months, you tend to forget what the other person's voice sounds like. So it was definitely a nice change. We ended up spending the rest of the service, basically attached to each others hip haha At the end of the service he was leaving, and so I found him to say bye (cuz he was with his family) and he gave me a hug. The very first hug! haha yupp im a romantic when it comes to this stuff, anyways when he hugged me hes like "awe your as small as a doll" (fact: hes like 6'1 and I'm like 5'1) So since then he has been calling me Giggly Doll! haha
To this day, we both are still praying about what to do with these feelings we both have for each other. That night, was the night I had realized I had fallen for him and I had fallen HARD! He gives me the tingles whenever hes around, I can't stop smiling or laughing whenever I see him and still to this day when he texts me I get excited haha yupp I'm lame..oh well! Hopefully the Lord shows us what direction we should take, maybe just maybe by the grace of God that if we can make a long distance friendship work, we can make a long distance relationship work. But that is only by the will of God and that is his plan for us.
I am soo beyond happy that I got to meet such a nice, caring, sweet guy! I have only ever heard amazing things about Jordan. (through Abi, whos borther is best friend's with Jordan) I feel like he has made me a better person and that whatever happens, were both still good friends and that we both keep living our lives for God! He is number one when it comes to our lives and to relationships if that's what happens. You mean soo much to me Jordy! And I hope that you just keep being yourself and don't change for anyone, and when you go off to school in September that you can impact others lives and make disciples. And hopefully you never forget about Giggles ;) You rock and don't ever change!
