My Reflection on two years ago...

July 01, 2006....  Today was the day of our first date!  Jared and I had talked on the phone a few days earlier and planned to go out on Saturday for our first date.  Well, Saturday soon arrived and he came to my house to pick me up.  All the girls in the family were in my Dad's office with the blinds cracked so they could see him when he came to get me. 

 The first thing I noticed about Jared was his shirt.  He had a nice white lightly stripped button down shirt on and looked very good.  

The second thing I noticed was his White PT Cruiser.   - Strike 1 -   I hate PT Cruisers still to this day!  I think they are a hideous excuse for a car.  

We ended up having a very fun date!  We went to eat at Macaroni Grill first.  Brady and Kristina met us there.  Jared knew the manager and all of our meals were on the house!  I was really impressed by this. (Alright "Strike One" is now void!)  How often in real life does that happen?  

We then went to the roof of The Physician's Plaza in Provo to watch the  Fireworks from the Stadium of Fire.  It was a lot of fun and we really were able to talk and get to know each other.

After the fireworks Jared and I went back to his apartment.  I met some of his roommates and we talked for a few hours.  He tried to kiss me.... and was denied!  He wasn't just going to kiss me so he could just add another number to his list!!   I was amazed how we were able to just talk for so long!  He took me home and I thought "That was fun! I'll  never see him again though!"

To my surprise he sent me a text Sunday night.  We went on our next date on Monday July 3rd. We went and saw the new Superman Movie and then Jared had to go to work.

July 04, 2006... The day of our first kiss!  Just like on our firs date there were fireworks!! Jared came to my house to pick me up for our date.  He met my family and then we went to his parent's house and I met his family.
