We started about 9 in the morning by going up to Monte Sano to walk around on one of the trails up there. It was an amazingly gorgeous day and both Nick and I kept saying that it was more like a day in September back "home" (Utah for me and Idaho for Nick), than the day before December. We walked around the trail, climbed on some big rocks and talked and talked for a few hours. As we were heading back to the car, we stopped to see some terrific view and Nick stopped behind me and put his arms around me and I thought that it felt like we had done this sort of thing before. (Aww)
We then headed to Olive Garden for lunch and did the soup and salad deal. We still love doing that and in fact the second time we went there after our first date (which happened to be after we were married), we sat in the very same booth. I have such a silly smile on my face remembering that. :)
Then off to the movie theater to watch the Disney movie Enchanted. Its a really cute movie and Nick and I were really enjoying it but we both just about died laughing when the Prince and Giselle are on their date and he asks how long a date lasts and she says "They can go as long as you want, really. They can just keep going and going, just so long as you keep thinking about activities that you can do", since that was essentially what we were doing since we were going to the dance that night.
We then went to my parent's house so we could change for the dance as it was 'church dress'. We grabbed a quick bite of mac&cheese and while eating my sisters got into a silly fight which culminated in one sister throwing her phone at the other which hit the other sister's bowl of dinner just right to fling mac&cheese all over her. As she was sitting on the couch covered in her dinner, she couldn't really move so Nick very kindly helped to clean her up. I thought that was really sweet of him considering he'd never met her.
Finally on to the YSA dance. I actually don't remember too many details about the dance. We did get a little bored at one point and went exploring because I had never been in the Cullman building. There was a cute little half basement but we didn't stay there long because it was the scouts room and smelled like teenage boy BO. (lol) There was a point when I was dancing with Taylor and he was saying something about leaving because there were no worthwhile girls there to dance with. Of course I smacked him a little and he said "Well you're taken". I was like "I'm taken? This is only my first date with Nick". He really was right though :)
Nick took me home and of course we had our first kiss. It was the most amazing kiss. I stopped breathing and heard bells and whistles and saw stars (maybe cause I wasn't breathing) :) Everyday we spent together after that just affirmed that we were meant to be together.
Love you honey! Even though we have our downs, I'm still very happy that we finally went out together :)
