1st Date

I am so mad at myself for posting this a day late, but yesterday was 6 years since Brady and my first date. Now make sure you are comfortable because this will be a long walk down history lane and it will be a longer post, but it is so fun to remember things that went on in the past between Brady and me. It all started in the spring of 1998. Green Acres Elementary always let the 6th graders go see North Ogden Junior Highs play. That year was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The cutest guy ever according to me and all my friends was the guy who played potifer (not sure how to spell that) and jacob. We all talked about him for months. A couple years later this boy started coming over to my house and come to find out I was friends with his little brother. Brady became best friends with my brother John and I always made excuses to be with them when he was over. I would beg John to let me watch them play nintendo or let me watch them play sports or whatever it was they were doing. John of course let Brady know of my crush and poor Brady and I were teased with no mercy. Especially Brady because this little girl was "in love" with him. Anyways I learned a lot about Brady on my 15th birthday when I called him crying. I had surprised kissed his brother at school on my birhtday and his brother didn't like me back. I called Brady crying and telling him what happened and how bad I felt. His immediate response was "one year from now I will take you on your first day and don't worry because you will be better in a little while." he showed his tender heart and he was always kind to me growing up. Well that year went and as Brady promised he took me on my first date. He was so official and called and asked what day I could go. It was so sweet. Anyways...told you this would be a long post...the day after I turned sixteen was our first date. I had my best friends come over and one did my hair, one did my makeup , one chose my outfit, etc...they were so supportive and we were all little giddy girls because I WAS GOING ON A DATE WITH BRADY MOCK!!! Thanks gals for all the love and help. I owe it to you because our first date left a good impression with him ; ). Anyways he picked me up and we went to el matador. I was so nervous I didn't eat because I didn't want anything on my face or in my teeth. Then he took me roller skating at the old classic rink and even held my hand when the dj said that is was a couples skate. We played air hockey and then we were ready to go. It was only 11:00 so he drove around and we talked. He dropped me home at 11:30 and felt so bad because it was so early. He walked me to the doorstep and was just so polite the whole night. To this date he always insists on getting my doors. Well I know that was a long rambling post, but it is fun for me to remember it and enjoy those giddy feelings all over again. Babe I love you and am glad you were always so sweet to that little girl back then. Here is a picture of my glamour hair the night of our first date:

Oh my goodness, I was laughing so hard when I read that! The good old days of classic skating and getting all nervous over a boy! I can totally relate! I had a crush on Phil since the 7th grade when I met him at a jr. high volleyball game. Me and sierra eastman would pretend him and one of his friends were our boyfriends! haha Who woulda thought we'd marry our crushes! Thanks for sharing that story, it brightened my day!
