Hi! my name is Anne Jones. I am a Weber State college student majoring in Journalism. I would like to take this time to create a blog about current events in my life. I have been married to my best friend Trenton Jones for six months now. We have had an amazing journey together and I would like to begin with how we met.
One year ago, I was working as a Cashier at Wal-Mart in Syracuse, Utah. I was in the highlight of my life. I was in my second year of College and was working part-time. I felt that something in my life was about to change, little did I know how much it would change. One day, one of my supervisors, Bonni Mills, came up to me one day and asked,"Hey Anne, are you dating anyone?" I froze, I didn't want to say no because there were a few guys that I thought were very attractive. But somehow I said no. She replied, "Because I have a nephew who got off his mission a couple of weeks ago. We should get you two together to go out on a date." I was a little skeptic, but I said ok.
She also had mentioned he was working in the produce section. I couldn't tell which one he was. There were several guys working there and alot of them were cute. But when she pointed him out to me, I didn't find him to be very cute. I thought he was okay, but still i wasn't attracted to him at all. Even with these thoughts flying through my head, in the back of my mind I thought I should give him a chance.
During the next few weeks, Bonni was very persistant in asking me to date Trenton. Finally, on October 5, she told me he really wants to meet me. Great, I thought. Now he wants to meet me. On my way to lunch, I was walking out of Wal-Mart when he was sorting out the pumpkins. So now I didn't have a choice to not talk to him because he was looking right at me. He had a big grin on his face and asked me how I was doing. I responded in a subtle way. He mentioned that he has been wanting to meet him and I literally said, "Well now you've met me and...yeah." We said good bye and left. Talk about awkward. But still in the back of my mind, a little voice said to me to give him amother chance.
Later that day, as I was working at Register 9, I was very busy with customers when all of a sudden, I noticed Trenton in front of the register in front of me. Not directly though. He was hidding behind the ile where supposively I couldn't see him. Little did he know I could see the top of his head. He stood there for a good ten minutes waiting for my line to die down. At that moment, one of my guyfriends from junior high approches my register, we talked about past performances we were in and he asked me if I was doing Drama in College. I told him no. When my friend left, Trenton, thinking my line had finally died down, approaches me and says. "So you were really in Drama in high school?" The lady that I was cashiering started laughing as was I. I asked him if he had been stalking me. He gave me this terrified look as if his heart had skipped a beat. The lady at my register started asking him questions about him, helping me to get to know him. It was pretty hilarious. I never found out who that lady was, but if I ever run into him again, I would personally thank her for helping me get to know my future husband.
