Rose & Korey... or is it Korey & Rose...

The Saga of my relationship with Rose & Korey...

1997
*When I met Korey, we were both 15 and weird not cool in high school kids... but we wer cool in 4-H, so that worked.

1998
*A year later when he brought his new girlfriend Rose with to 4-H stuff, I swore I hated her... not because I had a crush on Korey, but because guys don't have as much time for friends when they have girlfriends, and therefore, I had to hate the girlfriend...

1999
*In July, Rose and I went on a 4-H trip to Washington DC together. She introduced me to her friend Jerry... yay. ;)
*I believe this was the summer that Rose & Korey PROMISED me that I could be their flower girl if they ever got married some day.
*That summer, Korey wasn't at the fair, and Rose & I were practically inseperable, she slept at my head.
*Not only did she sleep at my head, but she liked me enough to know I hated getting up early, so every morning she'd get me a bowl of cereal and a carton of milk for me and wake me up at like 9:30am after she had eaten breakfast and everything. Yay Rose.
*Becuase she also woke up earlier than me every day, she got the news that some fellow 4-H friends died the night before... and she had to be the one to wake me up and tell me.
*We grew up a lot together that summer.
*In the fall Rose & Korey attempted to bring Jerry to a 4-H artsie party in Mora without telling me ahead of time that he was comming... but oops, I found out. But yay for them making it possible for me to see him!
*I made the bowl in socks at Mora Lanes. I won. They all fell down.
*I stood in Rose's field in the middle of the night looking at stars or something, and we almost got stampeeded by cows.

2000
*Korey and I graduated! Yay!
*Rose e-mailed me a lot with problems she and Korey were having. The same problems most couples have when one's still in high school and one went to college. I figured that would be the end of them and my dream of being a flower girl...
*Korey's parents sold their house in Henning so he didn't have a house where he grew up anymore.

2001
*My friend Nick and I took a road trip and suprised Rose by showing up at her high school graduation party... she didn't expect me since I had just gotten home from Isreal the day before, PLUS they live 3.5 hours from me.
*Rose ended up going to Moorhead State instead of the U of M because she'd be closer to Korey.
*They started visiting me in Duluth. At least once a year I think.

2002
*In the spring - he proposed... she said yes.
*Rose and Korey got married in September at the ripe old age of 19 and 20. I didn't get to be the flower girl... something about being too old to be a flower girl... I got to be their maid of honor instead... I guess it's a cooler job... but I still give them crap about it. :)

2005
*They became home owners - and I have a room in their house. :)
*They visited me in Philadelphia! Yay!!!
*I helped Rose learn how to make pillow covers to make cool pillows for their living room.

2006
*On Labor Day they came to see me IN MORA since I got home from Bolivia so late I didn't go to the State Fair.
*Rose and Korey are currently on their first real vacation alone together since they got married. Yay for them!
