anyone that knows me really well knows that my first real boyfriend was right after high school. i had known him for awhile, but always thought of him as a little kid{even though he was just 6 months younger and 1 grade behind me} anyways, jared nelson was my first love. my mom always said that he opened my heart because i had never felt like that before and i agree. i learned to love dating him and had a wonderful, fun time while doing it. well, as it usually does our 18 year old romance didn't work out and he was married before me{which only hurt a little} to a great girl, amy. jared was involved in a serious van roll while attending utah state, only about a month after they were married. he hasn't recovered from that accident, but amy is diligent with therapy and other activities to help him grow as much as he can. it just so happens that jared and amy were living in san diego for 6 months so we got to go hang out one night, it was so great to see them!
they live in la jolla and had this awesome park just walking distance from their place, so we headed over there and paisley was in heaven with all the slides.
now amy completely cares for jared, it is a full time job and then some. she is so kind and so wonderful, she had a super tasty gourmet pizza and whole food salad dinner for us-it seriously was like my favorite meal of the summer, so tasty and light and healthy! not to mention the ice cream with chopped up snickers and strawberries for dessert, yum-o!
it is still a bit strange for me to see jared how he is, he is just not the funny boy that i dated, although chris did get a big smile/laugh out of him. i can't remember what his joke was, but i remember it was rather silly and more funny for the men, jared always was a mans man.
i was so happy to see them both{reminder to self: take a pic with me and amy next time!} and to have them meet paisley. we tried to schedule it for quite awhile, and i am so happy that it finally worked out, getting the house and moving and everything kept getting in the way-thanks amy for being patient!

Dev, I have always been so impressed with everything I have heard about and witnessed of this couple. So amazing. It's a small world to know you know them! My friend's fiance was killed in that same crash.
