The First Week

The first week was full of just getting to know each other and enjoying each other's company.

On Monday, I went to Trevor's family home evening he was in charge of. It was some guy that played the piano. I tried to strategically place myself so that I would have a spot for Trevor right next to me. Well, I ended up in the middle, but I did have a seat next to me. As it was starting Trevor sat by me. I am pretty sure I tried to hide a huge smile. The piano man was great. We had ice cream for the refreshment. Trevor had recently gone to the dentist so his whole mouth was numb so he left early. I was kinda bummed just because I wanted to hang out that night.

On Tuesday, I had been texting Trevor all day. I was sitting on my couch watching TV just hoping he would invite me to do something. I kept saying how I was bored. I then hinted, "I wish that someone was doing something tonight!" Trevor is a smart one, so he invited me to go and get ice cream. We decided to just go to Harmon's and then go back to his house to watch a movie. I successfully made it down the stairs to his basement. We sat and ate our cookie dough ice cream. I sat incredible close to him, as we watched Dumb and Dumber. I was just hoping for him to put his arm around me! I thought I gave him all the right clues to go for it, but he didn't catch them. I also thought about just making the  first move to, but I was way too scared. Long story short I went home without cuddling!

On Wednesday, We planned a basketball game. It was Trevor, Tyler, Spencer, Me, and a few other people. I can't quite remember who all was there. It was fun. We played for quite sometime. Afterward, I went home and told Spencer how much I wanted to go and cuddle with Trevor. He told me that any guy would be crazy if he said no to cuddling. So, I being a professional at hinting I texted Trevor, "When I get really tired I like to cuddle." I don't know exactly what smooth thing Trevor said next, but he soon was at my house to pick me up, and we were going down to his house. When we arrived his Tyler and Drew had romantic music playing, and candles. It was a well played move, and I found it quite funny. We through the candles at Drew, and picked out a movie. I don't remember much of this night just because I was so happy that Trevor had his are around me. The movie ended, and we just sat and talked. It was late so I needed to go home. It ended with a hug. Just a hug.
I am not sure how it all played out, but it came out that Trevor wanted to kiss me, but he didn't. I told him that I wanted to too. So, I was pretty sure that the next time I saw him it was going to happen. I knew that it was going to be his first kiss. (he didn't know that I knew that! Thank You Tyler) I knew that I may just have to take the lead in this one, which made me very nervous. It was all very exciting.

Alrighty, I am off to St. George tomorrow so you all will have to wait for the next part!!
Enjoy Conference, and I will enjoy the hot St. George sun and pool.
:)

Half glass full!

We will take a short break from my love story to just write! Enjoy!

I don't know what is going on lately, but I have found myself being a Negative Nancy! I don't see Trevor as much. I hate homework. I am not pretty enough. I am not skinny enough. All those fun thoughts that Satan tend to put into out mind. Well, you know what I say to that, "I HAVE HAD ENOUGH" time to be positive. So I have composed a list of what is keeping me going. Why I am so lucky, and what makes me happy!!! (some more serious than others!)

#1 I am currently eating these...

AKA. Bliss



#2 I just bought these. I love them

#3 I look fantastic with curled hair!!

#4 I have an awesome job. I get paid pretty good, and enjoy what I do. Shoe love is True love!

#5 Trevor's Smile and hugs. They make me feel better, almost instantly!

Everyone should be jealous!

#6 Last night, I remember laughing with Trevor cause I said something dorky. I like when we laugh together.

#7 I may have just passed my first Physics test. I now know why to run into a pile of hay when my cars breaks stop working!!



#8 I get to see Trevor tonight.

#9 I have an awesome family. Speaking of which, I miss my sister!!! I have not seen her in ages!! LOVE YOU!

#10 I love the moment, as you are driving home and you realize, "man, I got it good!"

So, life may be rough. I may be hard to deal with. I may not like what I have to deal with, but heck I have quite the life! I am back to a positive state! WIPEEE!

Everyone have an Awesome day! 

Movie Night!

Then next day at church, for some reason, church became that more exciting. Trevor was going to be there, and I was very excited to see him! I patiently waited during relief society as my stomach had the butterflies. I walked to the class that I hoped Trevor was in. Spencer my brother was sitting by the Well's brothers so I sat by Spencer. We chatted a bit, and then went to Sacrament. We also sat by them there too. I secretly didn't want to leave church.
That evening Marci and I went for a walk around Victor's Pond. I was texting Trevor the whole time. I really wanted to invite him to come with us, but I was too scared. I then got a text from Courtney Lee in the ward that they were watching Pirates of the Caribbean at someones house. I immediately invited Trevor, and he agreed. Marci and I walked home. Trevor had agreed to come, and pick us up. I mapquested the address, and we were off.
I told Trevor that we needed to go to 9400 S. As we were driving on 94th, I realized we were lost. I called Courtney, and this is how the conversation went.
Steph: Hey how do we get there?
Courtney: Well, where are you?
S: Say we are at my house!
(laughter from everyone in the car)
C: okay, well go to 12300 S.
S: okay... (laughter)
Steph to Trevor: We need to go to 12300 S.
T: Really?
S: Okay Courtney, we are at 94th so I will call you when we get to 123rd.
C is really confused at this point! : Okay
I busted out laughing. Slightly embarrassed that I put the city Sandy in the Mapquest rather than Draper. We all we laughing.
I called Courtney back, and we were able to get to the apartment complex just smoothly. Only other stumble that may have happened was me tripping in the doorway as we entered the apartment!!
Trevor and I sat on the floor next to each other. I don't remember watching the movie at all. We just sat, and got to know each other. He made me laugh, and this is when I knew that I was really starting to like this kid!!

Well, I got to go to class!!!
Stay tuned for the first time we cuddled, and the most amazing first kiss EVER :)

The First Date

The original date was suppose to be with Trevor and I, then Katelin and Tyler. Then Katelin no longer could go so it was going to just be Trevor and I. Tyler couldn't find a date, so just Trevor and I planned on going go-carting and dinner on that Saturday.  Then Tyler decided to run his head into Robyn Abrahamson's knee which caused some brain damaged. That night Kenzie scratched Tyler's head, and in the words of Tyler, he was "sold." So, Tyler got the guts to ask Kenzie out. Then there was four again.
Instead of go-carting we ended up going to a ward BBQ, then figure something out afterward.
I showed up with my brother Spencer who left shortly. I was extremely nervous. What do I say? How much of a goofball should I be on a first date? I soon just let everything go, and decided to not worry and have some fun.
The BBQ was a lot of fun. There was a group of hilarious people sitting at our table. We ate hamburgers and just laughed. We decided to leave, and start the next adventure. Kenzie had an awesome idea to go hiking. I needed to change shoes, so Trevor drove me up to my house. I was happy that we could talk the whole time without any awkward silence. I ran inside grabbed my shoes, and jumped back into the car to meet Tyler and Kenzie at the Well's home. On the short ride there I told him about the story of my concussion. He thought it was pretty funny, and I explained how clumsy I was.
We got to his house. I followed Trevor as we walked through his garage, and down the stairs to his basement. For some reason I missed the last step, rolled my ankle, and fell really hard on the ground. Trevor turned around in shock, and I began to laugh. Trevor wasn't quite sure how to react. He asked if I was alright, and when he saw that I was laughing that gave him the green light to laugh as well. I was really embarrassed. Only I, Stephanie Stohel, would roll her ankle, fall down the stairs on a first date!

It was dark by this time, we grabbed a flash light and headed out. Kenzie knew of this great waterfall we could hike to by south mountain. We wondered around. Walked through some bushes. Heard some running water, but never found a waterfall. (to this day, still not sure if there really is one up there) We walked up a huge hill, and the valley looked amazing. After a few seconds we decided to head back to the car. After trudging through more unmarked paths we made it back safely. I sat in the car, my ankle throbbing, but I put on my tough face and continued the date.

This is where the date got quite random. We first went to the Daybreak lake. Wondered around until the cop on the bike told us that we should leave. Drove back to Draper to get shakes at in and out burger. Drove up by the mountains to a school where there is a creepy janitor, then last but  not least drove past Paul Millsap's home. At this point it was late, we were all tired so we called it a night.

Trevor walked me to the door, I got one of his amazing hugs and I walked inside.

I then sat and debated when I should text him to tell him that I had an awesome time. As that thought crossed my mind the phone buzzed, and I got a text from Trevor. It said something like, "Hey, I had a great time tonight we should do it again sometime." Pretty sure I did a happy dance, and replied with a big time yes! He said he owed me dinner and go-carting. I couldn't say no, so we planned the second Date...

In Honor...

..of Katelin Cook who is also telling the story of how her and her "boy" met, I too want to put it into writing. It is a great idea. Because if things work out (which I am hoping they will) we can share with our cute children all about our story!

It all began with me deciding to go to the singles ward. I started hanging out with Katelin Cook who at this time was being courted by Tyler Wells. Katelin just wanted to be friends, so long story short things didn't work out between them, but no worries better things are coming for the both of them. Any who, Katelin told me a little about the Wells family while this was going on sometime in March. I was sorta Dating a kid, whose name we will not mention. He wasn't the best, but that is another story for another time.
I found out that Tyler had a twin. I remember it like it was yesterday... April's Ward Prayer. I was still dating the boy whose name we will not mention, but I couldn't"t keep myself from looking at his twin. (At this point I couldn't"t remember his name) He was sitting next to Tyler, and wearing a striped shirt, and his Boston Red Sox cap. I knew at this point that some how I was going to get to know this kid.
I am pretty sure I went home and Facebook stalked him almost everyday. Trying to figure out if he had a girlfriend or not. That is creepy, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!! At least by doing this I found out that his name was Trevor.
At the end of April, I made a decision to leave the boy who I was dating. I wanted to get out of the ridiculous relationship, and also start dating new people.
One night, I went to FHE, all dolled up. They were making sugar cube temples, and Trevor was there. I cracked jokes when he was around, and smiled.. a lot. I remember I was just about to go up to him, and tell him that he did a good job at planning the FHE. I was too afraid. After that FHE, a group of people went up to Katelin's house. I tried to convince her to invite Tyler Wells, that way Trevor would come too. I guess they were busy because they both didn't show. That night Katelin told me how nice Trevor was.
I believe I was baking cookies one Sunday when I decided to do a little investigation.  I text Katelin and asked, "Does Trevor have a girlie?" She responded almost instantly with, "Nope" I was pretty happy about this new found knowledge. I then got another text saying something along the lines of, "If Trevor can, wanna come Four wheeling with Tyler and I." I kinda freaked out, but agreed. I now felt awkward, but extremely excited. I didn't want Trevor to know that I thought he was cute. I become more shy when around boys I like. I didn't want to ruin things!
A week or so later, a girls night turned into just a movie night. A bunch of people came to my house encluding Trevor, to watch a movie outside. I was super nervous, and pretty sure I barely even talked to him. That night Tyler, and I became friends on Facebook. We would chat about Trevor, and Katelin. At some point Tyler gave Trevor my number so that we could get to know eachother before our date on Saturday. We texted a little here and there.
One night Spencer (my brother) came home, and told me that he talked to Trevor at the basketball game. That just about killed me. I promptly asked him what he told him. The conversation went like this.
Spencer: I hear you are taking my lil sis on a date
Matt Terry: Your going out with Stephanie?
Trevor: Yep
Spencer: If you break her heart, I will break your legs.
Don't you love older brothers.
