About Me: Boyfriend Edition

Now that you know about my school life, I figure it's time to fill you in on my personal life. School and work is such a big part of my life, and my boyfriend is the one that keeps me sane.

Douglas Crowell

I met Doug my first semester at Boise State. He was a quiet but well respected musician in the Blue Thunder Marching Band. I was interested in joining a fraternity (yes, I mean fraternity!) that he was a part of. We attended a couple of social activities together, but I mistook his quiet nature for not liking me!! There is a sickeningly sweet first date story if any of you are interested, but long story short, we started dating Christmas 2006.

Doug is Native American. To be exact, he is 1/4 Suquamish and 1/4 Skokomish. He is a wonderful person, and he is SO lucky. Why, you ask?!? Per his heritage, he gets his schooling paid for. The application is easy, and it doesn't affect the other financial aid he can get. Lost? He is getting paid to go to school and be a student! He is interested in Civil Engineering, but still deciding between that and the other engineering disciplines.

Doug is amazing for so many reasons. I know he will be there for me when I need him, just like I will always be there for him. He is such a smart person, and a great mechanic! My wallet has certainly appreciated his car repairs. Doug can solve any problem. He has a great way of looking at things with a fresh perspective and coming up with unique solutions.
