A few of my friends do a "flashback friday" story/picture on their blog.....here's my first attempt.
Our First Date!
I was in the Provo library one Friday afternoon in September when Bart called me on my cell phone. Fortunately, not many people were around so I just spoke quietly on the phone. He told me that he had a double date planned with some friends, but that his date had to cancel on him. He then asked me on the date for that night. Lucky for both of us, I said yes.
(side note: Bart really did have a date planned for that night, it wasn't just a sly way to ask me out without it being a big deal. He apologized for the late notice, but told me he had been wanting to ask me out on a date.)
So, we ate dinner at Gold Medal Pizza in Provo (south of campus by 800 N & 700 E) with his friend Brenna and her boyfried Jessie. (Who later also got married, and we got to attend their sealing in St. George!) Instead of waiting quietly and patiently for our pizza, we played Apples to Apples at our table..... and I'm pretty sure I won! It was so fun and relaxed...I didn't feel nervous at all. The best part is that I really got to know Bart a lot better without the awkward first date questions.
After we finished our pizza and game, we played floor hockey at his friend Joey's house. He had a nice sports court in his backyard, and a bunch of guys would play floor hockey on Friday nights. I'd never played before, but I was all for trying it out. I wasn't amazing at playing hockey, but I had a lot of fun......I think it was the best first date I'd been on. No awkwardness, great food, fun friends, sports....Bart did a great job!
I was really surprised at how much fun I had. At the beginning of the date, I thought to myself, "Bart's nice, but I don't see it going past the first date." After our first successful date, he asked me out again. Once again I thought, "I'll go on a 2nd date....Bart's nice and fun, but this will be the last date." Well, the 2nd date was really great also.....so I decided to just give in and we started dating.....and now we've been married for almost 3 years!
This is from the night we got engaged....don't have one from the first night. This is how long my hair was after it had been growing out for more than 6 months!
