The Beginning

Hello, and thank you for reading the very first blog entry of The 30 Date Challenge!

This blog will be a place for me to record my thoughts and experiences throughout The 30 Date Challenge.  I am very excited to share the adventure we are embarking on and letting you join in with us!

First a little history lesson,

My name is Jarrett. I live in a town called Conway, South Carolina and I work in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I am one of very few natives in this tourist town which makes it so rare that I have actually found someone from here as well.

My girlfriend is Annie. Annie is from Myrtle Beach as well and our story starts back in 2007.

I met Annie for the first time while taking pictures for a Homeschool Association Prom that we were both about to attend. We had never met but I knew her sister and we had gone to their house to all meet up and head to the Prom. After that night, I did not see her again for months. My best friend started dating her sister Laura right out of high school so I was always around her family because we enjoyed doing things in larger groups; I was even the best man in her sisters wedding and she was the maid of honor. Our stories intertwined for years until we both happened to be single at the same time in the late spring of 2010. We would meet up and walk around the boardwalk or the bookstore until one day, our paths drifted back apart. Having parted ways, we both grew in to who we needed to be. We both took part in a rendition of the Nutcracker but after it was over we would not see each other again until March of 2011.

We were both attending a wedding of our mutual friends. I remember trying to play it so cool and not act like I still had feelings for her but when we got to the reception we struck up a conversation and ended up spending most of the evening together. We danced and laughed and talked the whole night. By the end of the night I was floating on air.

I had agreed to help her with a dance routine for a College Ministry Program here in Myrtle Beach called Refuge. We were both teaching dance at the time so it didn't seem to out of the ordinary but over time I realized that she still had feelings for me too. So on May 11th, we started dating and grew in to the super couple we are today!


I will be posting another entry about the beginnings of the 30 Date Challenge and the rules to follow but now you know a little about us!
