The Story of Us Part 3
I love stories! Every one has one. The more details the better! One of my favorite things to ask my newly engaged couples is how they met. They’re always excited to share the details. And I can’t get enough! But, at the end, my couples always ask, “What about you?” So, I decided to share our story, too. From the party to the babies here’s our story!
Our First Date
I managed to sleep in the next day. The sun shone in through my window and Cinnamon (our families cocker spaniel) wanted out of my room. As I got up to let her out, I reached for my phone. There was a text. It was from Big Mike. Who the heck is Big Mike? And how did he get his number in my phone. I don’t remember anyone named Big Mike.
I opened my phone. “Hey Cutie. How are you?” To which I responded, “Good.” “Do you want to go out and grab dinner and a movie?” Is this Mike? The super cute guy I met last night…whom I dubbed as Mine? It must be. I don’t know anyone else named Mike. (Don’t laugh at me!) “Sure! Where are we going?” “Applebee’s?” “Sounds good!”
Now to be completely honest with you guys, I don’t remember if I met him at his house or if I met him at Applebee’s. This was over 10 years ago. And I’m a terrible person for forgetting! But to make things even, he can’t remember either!
But I do remember him opening the door for me at the restaurant and I could hardly breathe because I was so nervous! We sat at a tiny table for two and ordered drinks and dinner. When it came, I scarfed mine down, like the good country girl I am. I think I may have scared him a little because he told me that most girls order a salad on their first date and not steak and potatoes. He also kindly told me that I didn’t have to finish my whole dinner and it was ok to leave some on the plate, to which I disregarded and finished the entire plate. My mom and dad would be proud 😉
As we left Applebee’s, he decided that it would be better if we just rented a movie and went back to his place instead of fighting the crowd at the theatre. Slick huh. So, off we went to Hollywood Video. What movie did we watch, you maybe asking. I’m not sure. I was so engrossed in the movie that when he went to rub my leg I may have jumped a few feet off his bed!
After the movie was over, and possibly a pretty hot and steamy make out session (sorry Mom) it was time to go home. He walked me to my car, opened my door and kissed me goodnight. All after telling me that he had a great time and that we should do it again. YES! I get to go out with him again! (Insert butterflies). I could not wait!
I checked my phone, every day, like most girls do. Three days went by and I hadn’t heard a thing. But I told myself that he would call. And on the third day he did. This time it was my turn to plan a date. Just wait until you hear where we went next!
Thanks for reading 🙂
