Tavis Bennett

I have been dating Tavis for about five and a half months and it's been wonderful! He is the greatest guy. He is 34 yrs. old and from Oregon. He served his mission in Colombia, Spanish speaking. He loves chess, golf, tennis, astronomy, Rock Band and kids. He is planning on starting back to school to finish his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. He's a member of Top Coder and keeps track of the Marathons and matches that go on with that. I love to watch him make up the programs and get them to give him a good result, when he is doing the matches for Top Coder. He attends the chess club at BYU and really enjoys going there once a week to play chess with the other members.
I really enjoy the time we spend together. He has taught me a lot of new games, there's one card game called Fluxx and the rest are board games. On our second date we went to a ward date night at Brother Winter's house, at the time he was a member of our bishopric. It was so fun, we learned how to play farkle. We liked it so much that we play it a lot. We have gone roller skating, to watch a 3D Hubble movie(about Space), to the carnival, a Rodeo, to see the BYU Singers perform, and to see some movies. On Friday Tavis took me to the driving range and we practice our golf swings. It's the first time I had seen Tavis really hit a golf ball other than on X box PGA golf, so I was impressed to see how far he could hit it.
