Rob went to Spain for this Nike video competition and finished the video.. Then wanted some extra clips (he was there for 3 weeks) The day before he was supposed to come home I received a text message saying " Im in the hospital, I might miss my flight. Don't freak out." so what did I do? FREAKED OUT ! He ran into a rail with his chest going fast enough to lacerate his liver, bruise his lung, and break all the cartilage in his ribs connecting to his sternum.
So Spain told him nothing was wrong and sent him on his way home. He flew into NY where he decided it would be a good idea to get a second opinion because he didn't feel like nothing was wrong. He made it up to Danbury hospital in Connecticut. Where he found out all the details and they said to watch it because he's internally bleeding and to be careful....they also gave him pain killers. That made him sick and threw up, which making his laceration bigger. So making it a VERY near death experience. So I was in Utah in a panic and decided I needed to get there, I kinda just up and left work. Told them to cancel all my appointments and i'll let them know when i'm coming back. So I booked my flight at 7:25 and it was leaving at 8:10. luckily I already had my bags packed up. The drive to the airport takes about 25 minutes so I was sure I was missing my flight. But I had to try everything I could get there ASAP. Im running through the airport cutting lines and yelling "I'm going to miss my flight!" I get to the gate and there was like a 15 minute delay so I made it! And ill tell you what that was the longest plane ride of my life. All I kept thinking "how does my life go on if I can't have rob?" I was making myself sick. I finally got to the hospital It was so good to just see him. He was in and out of consciousness when I first got there and they were monitoring him to see if they needed to do surgery. When He woke up late at night he asked if i would sleep next to him in the bed. So we made it work. It was a tight squeeze but so nice to just be next to each other. They ended up not having to do surgery and he would be down for months before he could do anything. He couldn't even lie down all the way . He had to learn to sleep sitting up. I had to control myself and not make jokes to lighten the mood because it hurt him so much to laugh. We came home and he healed up fine. But after that I knew.. I cannot live without this boy.

Nora Cup is like the oscars of BMX.

By this time in our relationship, it was time to start talking finances and future. So That meant selling a car to get a motorcycle instead! This is Robs baby. He might love it more than me. okay not really, but it is a prized possession. He even made a bike rack on the back for his Bmx bike. We've love going on bike rides up the canyons. You don't appreciate nature as much when your in a car. On the bike you soak up all the beauty all around you. I even tried to learn how to drive it and of course tipped it over going from neutral to 1st gear. I did learn how to eventually cruise around in 1st. I was so scared to go any faster, this thing is too big for me! So I let him drive and it's better for us that way :)
This was our first road trip ever! and Rob wouldn't even share drive time. It's like he's trying to say something about my driving but just can't. Ha! The photo is at venice beach, where i happened to get so sun burnt I lived in a cold tub all night. I could barely walk and thought I was going to die. not even being dramatic. I thought my biggest organ was shutting down and that was the end of me. I put wet towels on my body to finally fall asleep. It was so crazy. But my skin had been in hibernation all winter long and it was the first time out to see the sun. That explains it pretty well. I've learned my lesson! no more beach without sunscreening myself every hour on the hour. 
We ate Sills for breakfast it's one of his favorite places to eat. I think he looks so cute in this picture I want to eat him up! On our drive back we grabbed Rob's car jammed it full of all his belongings and moved him home. One of the happiest days ever.
We continued on with the long distance relationship. we would see each other from feb-may 2010 twice a month for weekends. We always had fun things to do or would plan what movies we needed to see next. It made dating fun because it wasn't as often as usual. but then we really missed each other and I was ready for him to move home and be with me.
I went down for valentines day and was so spoiled! Rob had planned all these great things like aquariums, blue man group , shopping ( for me) and making me breakfast. grocery shopping before I got there and got my favorite treats . (for those of you who don't know rob...this is huge!)
So we traveled back and forth from Vegas to Layton. We couldn't help it. We had to be together.
