OUR FIRST DATE!

What a fun night!! That Derek guy that was in my health and Institute class last semester asked for my number last class. I was so happy because he's a great guy. We finally went out tonight!
He picked me up and we went to a Thai Restraunt (Thai Chili Gardens) for dinner. Then we met up with his friends at the bowling alley (Miracle Bowl) and we played about 7 games. I beat him once. We were tied once and the rest of the time he beat me :) Holy cow my arm is tired. But it was fun getting to know him more. Things I learned about him.
-Served a mission in Venezuela. He went a little later, so he's my age.
-oldest of four. His youngest brother has down syndrome and knows sign language.
- loves all types of smaller sports like ping pong, bowling, ultimate frisbee, frisbee golf, snow skiing, etc...
-loves 80's music :)
-his Mom is German, his Dad works for Delta Airlines.
-He wants to study graphic design
Anyways, that's just a few things I learned about him.
It was so cool because he was really interested in me and my life as well. Not too many guys I've gone out with before are that interested in me. He was paying all the attention to me, even more than he was to his friends :)
We went to go get a drink at 7 eleven afterwards than he took me home. He turned off his car and walked me to the door (I always get nervous for this part) But we got up to my door and after we finished what we were talking about, I thanked him for taking me out and I gave him a hug. I told him we should do something again and he said, "Yeah, we should go watch a movie or something."
YAY!! I hope he asks me out again.

Mandy, I have always admired you for your details with journaling, scrapbooking, and picture taking. What a blessing to record so many sweet little memories that would otherwise be forgotten, at least in part!
