This story begins my junior year in High School when my friend Megan and I went to Leeds, England for our Spring Break. Her uncle was the mission president there, so we stayed with them in the Mission home. Being the "fun" 16 year old girls we were, we
immediately scanned the wall of pictures of boys and soon found our loves. Megan's was Elder
Vandermyde, and mine was Elder Harris. We obsessed about these boys for an entire week. We took the pictures up into our room and made the awesome sign, and above our beds we had signs that said Elder Harris' girl and Elder
Vandermyde's girl. Lets just say, we
couldn't watch TV or movies, so we had some time on our hands. Years later, 4 to be exact, I am nearly engaged to the love of my life, and he takes me out to dinner to meet his friend Scott. We are getting to know
each other and I ask him where he went on his mission. He says Leeds, England. I was so
surprised! I told him I have been there and I even stayed at the mission home! Then I asked when he was there and he said 99, and I said, Hey,
that's when I was there! Then a felt a little tinge in my
stomach and
tentatively asked him his last name, and he replied Harris. I was in shock. It was HIM. ELDER HARRIS! He's sitting right in front of me and hes my fiances BEST FRIEND! I couldn't beleive I was actually meeting him! It never went anywhere.... we both went our separate ways. But ever since the day we all realized who my long lost crush was, Scott can forever joke to Todd and tell him that I was in love with him first!

....the rest of the story goes.... Jillian told Todd that they were through...that is, until Scott told Jillian that he was already married. Tough luck Jillian! Todd, I am sorry that this has come between our friendship. The past is in the past. Lllack.
