Caramie called to tell me that I need to update my blog with "SOMETHING",
so this is what you get!!
So.. call me crazy, but I love to remember big dates in our lives and celebrate them. Is that part of me being very sentimental? Yes.. probably! I never have been a HUGE fan of Halloween since I grew up, but I LOVE the day because it reminds me of mine and Brandon's 1st date! I will tell you about our first date.
I had always had a little bit of a crush on Brandon and hardly anyone knew. We had done a couple things together with a big group, but nothing serious. He would always flirt with me at work and say things that I would think... "what is that supposed to mean". My sister and brother in law (who is also Brandon's 2nd cousin) always tried to get me to ask him out and Tai (Brandon's sister) always said we should date. We both had RULES that we were not going to date people from work, because it would just be weird!
It was a couple days before Halloween and Brandon had checked the schedule and noticed that I didn't work on Halloween and neither did he.. so he asked if I wanted to go hang out with him and his friends.. or somethin like that.. so I of course said.. Yes. I wasn't quite sure if this was considered a date or not at the time. When it got closer to that day.. he called me and asked if I wanted to go to the Box Elder High School Championship Football game. I wasn't extremely excited about it, but agreed to go with him. He came and picked me up after school and we drove to Brigham City, picked up his friend Nate and went to his house where we picked up his Dad and got ready to walk down to the game. Yep... I was with the guys! :) It wasn't so bad untill it started to SNOW!! I was so not prepared for it to snow.. I had a coat, but that was about it! I thought for sure we would get up and leave soon. NOPE!! I am not one to complain to people that I don't know so well and I was too shy to say I was freezing cold or that I was going to leave.. I was freezing cold and was sharing a blanket with Nate. Brandon's Dad thought I was on a date with Nate! :) I wanted to scoot over close to Brandon and get warm, but I didnt dare..especially with his Dad there! He likes to tell people that he went on our first date with us! Brandon had nice warm gloves and pants on.. I had a blanket. I thought for sure he would give me his gloves beccause my hands and my whole body were FREEZING, but he didn't till the game was almost over! I still wasn't warm and I was so GLAD when the game was finally over! I don't remember if we won or not! Brandon later said he knew I was the one for him after I sat through that whole game! I am sure glad that I did, although it will never happen again! :) We walked back home and had some hot chocolate and headed back up to Logan. We met up with some friends and decided to go to dinner at Ruby Tuesday. Brandon and I were the only couple! :) We then decided to go watch a movie ( The fall of the House of Usher..super lame and not scary at all! )with a bunch of people at my apartment. Everyone that got hamburgers for dinner got sick! Brandon, me and I think someone else were sitting in the love sac..it was one of those HUGE ones..I kept waiting for Brandon to get close to me or touch me or do ANYTHING!
Finally with about 5 minutes left of the movie.. he put his hand on my leg!! :) lol. THen it was time to go home and he gave me a hug and said we have to hang out again sometime! I was so scared but so excited at the same time!! It took him about a week to call me.. I had a friend that lived by him and I was over there and decided to stop by to say Hi.. he wasn't there, so I left him a message to call me.. he called me and from then on.. we were always together! I remember hiding in the corner behind the couch at his apartment when Tai would come over. We kept it a secret at work for a good month and a half, which is AMAZING! I was too scared that everyone at work would hate me if we didn't work! :) It didn't take me long to realize that the CRUSH I had wasn't just a crush! I am so glad everything did work out and that we are still together and happy as ever!
I don't have pictures from that date, but I will post a few from when we were dating.. this was before digital cameras were big.. so I don't have a lot.
