Jonathan’s version.

I couldn’t wait for Vacation Bible School to come around.  I knew I would get to see Heather again and I could NOT wait!  I had permission to do some things that I had been wanting to do for a long time.  I was going to tell Heather “you’re beautiful”.  I could also give her the first flowers of our courtship.

When she arrived at the church I had to run to her.  So, I ran and gave her a card.  As she opened the card I walked beside her and whispered, “I think you’re beautiful”.  As soon as I said that she replied by saying, “you’re handsome”.  I then handed her the vase of flowers.

After a fabulous week with Jonathan in March, I did not get to see him until July.  As mom and I traveled to meet him where he was doing a VBS, I became more excited.  I was so thrilled, that I wanted to run to meet him, but I somehow managed to control myself.  I walked into the auditorium where he was, not realizing that I just walked passed a vase of flowers he had sitting beside his computer.  Seeing the most amazing, handsome guy was the only thing that mattered to me.  I did not care about anything else.  We talked for a few minutes and then turned to walk to the back of the auditorium.  It was then that I saw the beautiful flowers he had for me.  He then handed me a card.  As I was opening it, I heard him say, “Wait! Wait! Wait!” as he ran over to me and said, “I think you are beautiful!”  I truly was surprised, yet just as eager to tell him that I thought he was handsome.  I almost slipped and told him before I was allowed.  It was so hard not to say anything before.
