This time of year

This time of year bring great memories. James and I started dating 8 years ago. Let's reminisce on our first date in 2001, shall we....

We had seen each other a few times prior to dating. I went to his 19th birthday at his best friend, Tom's house in SSF with a few friends. You know house parties...well Tom's house was a big party house back then lol. So much fun. James was pretty drunk that night but having fun with everyone there. So, that was my first real encounter with him I guess you can say.

About a month later, we start hanging out more at school due to mutual friends up at CSM. He was on the football team, which explained his nice body lol :o)...and I was just your average chick hanging out with her friends during breaks from classes. He liked me for a while so we started talking on the phone and hung out more. He finally asked me to a Giants game on a Sunday which is the day my family goes to church. I had to beg my dad to let me miss church but he gave in and I was sooooo happy & nervous. It was like my first REAL date with a guy.

So I got all dolled up, in overalls...wth was I thinking wearing overalls? LOL oh well he thought it was cute. He picked me up in a cute Nissan Pathfinder, only to find out later that it was his Mom's car and he took it cuz he didnt wanna drive his broke van which was called the Local Motion by his boys haha! Anyway, we got to the game, the Giants were playing the Brewers that day. It was such a nice day too. We sat in the bleachers. Before we left, he bought me a JT Snow beanie baby. The cutest thing EVER! I still have it, even though the head of the bear is almost ripped off. I love that thing! He knew I had a crush on JT back then so I thought it was cute that he bought it for me :)

After the game, we said bye...no kiss yet. Later that night, I was going to dinner with some friends at La Cucina (restaurant in Bridgepointe but it's not there anymore) for a going away thing. I decided to call James and invite him along. He came! YAY!

Well, that was our first date. More to come when I blog about our anniversary on 4/28 :)

Besos,
Lissa
