The Beginning

Hi! My name is Hunter. My boyfriend, Chris, and I have been together since December 2009, our Sophomore year of High School. We've spent a lot of time together over the years and we are into a lot of the same things! For instance, we are both going into Culinary Arts and we are both studying it in college. At the moment he's a year ahead of me, but that's about to change. Chris and I often cook together at his house for his family and we've catered his Aunt's wedding. He won a Bronze medal in an ACF culinary competition, but when I do the competition this year, I'm getting GOLD! :D This past June we went to Disneyworld together with his family and his Grandparents. It was SO much fun! We were both in our High School's Marching Band together for three years, both playing the Clarinet. He was the section leader of the clarinets and flutes at first, but then we both led the section together. We met in Band class in 6th grade, and at first we didn't get along very well; he even scribbled me out in his year book! But in Marching Band everything changed. We spent countless hours marching around together and to make a long story short, we grew really close. But that's not the point of this Blog. Chris and I are both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS or Mormon, as we're better known) and Chris has been called to serve as a Missionary. He will be away from me for 2 years in the distant land of Taiwan. Taichung to be specific. He will be speaking Mandarin Chinese and enters the MTC on August 15th 2012...exactly one week after my 19th Birthday, and 13 days from right now. I am making this blog to share his missionary experiences and my thoughts and feelings about everything that is going to happen to him and what's happening with us over the next two years. The best two years.
