So I promised pictures!

This is Ruben (again)... the face shot really doesn't do him justice, but I love that you can see his little dimple on his cheek... I love that weekends are so much more fun now that he's around. This Saturday marked our One month anniversary of being together. We spent the evening at the same place where we first went out... Club Manhattan: Latin Night.

Funny part is that he doesn't speak Spanish, and does not Latin dance (it's really bad) but this last Saturday was awesome!!! We met up with his brothers and sister and some of our friends... I had 2 Red bulls... and at one point was dancing on the couch with his sister in law. I'm trying to teach him how to be Latin... which is just funny. People always go to talk to him in Spanish and I have to whisper the English in his ear.
Ruben is in 2 bands. He plays heavy metal... BUT I walked in the other day and he was going to town on the Spanish guitar. IT was awesome. He writes his own stuff for his bands. he's very talented and a sucker for 80's rock... lol... I tease him relentlessly.
***Our story. Ruben's mom is my mentor at work. She and I have formed a very close bond. We were close for about 7 months, shopping, going out to lunch, She's kinda like my mom in Utah. Well... one day I Go to her house to make Sunday dinner and play cards (shout out to rummy) and Low behold Ruben answers the door... My interest peaks (he swears he knew I was the one when He first saw me and remembers my outfit even). We ate dinner and then he had plans so he left.
I kept telling his mom I needed to go over there again and get his number (the whole time he was saying the same thing to her but She insists on not getting involved) My life was so crazy with the Law school class, and calling's, temple, work, etc. that i literally had decided I wasn't dating anyone for a long time (at least until after law school) . SOOOOO then one night I wanted to go clubbing and needed a partner (I don't dare go to a Latin dance club with out an escort) and remembered Ruben. I called his mom, she gave me his number and we went out with my "cousins." The next day was Sunday, and he came over for dinner... then the following day his mom and I were shopping in park city when he called on me for a date. I had already made plans with his mom so... he took us both out and it was all 3 of us.
ever since that day we have seen each other everyday, and he is now looking to move his records to my ward. He works for the State in the Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control.
I feel very lucky, he is so good to me. everything is just working out... sorry if for allot of you a blog is how you find out... BUT life has been busy, and I'm so happy. So happy. We are going to Vegas (shout out to Sole), and then to Cali (shout out to my peeps in Cali) on March 25th. I'm really excited and he can't contain him self...
That's the story... Love you all!
