day 8

Day 8 –Your idea of the perfect first date..


This part of the challenge was originally day 3 of the challenge, but I changed it to today because 3/21/2010 was the day that Chris and I went on our first official date. For three months leading up to that we had spent a lot of time together, but never had we ever called them dates, we were just hanging out. So I look back and think about that date we went on a year ago.


Dinner at a hole in the wall (kind of) Mexican Restaurant in Orem. We were some of the only people there and the waitress came and checked on us every 5 minutes. I think she had a timer set, it was like clockwork! We knew exactly when she would be coming. Our food was really tasty, man was I excited to have some good Mexican food!


After dinner we went to see a Humor U show. They were (they disbanded after Fall 2010) a stand-up comedy troop at BYU. Chris had seen them several times before and wanted to see them one last time before he left BYU and invited me to go with him. It was one of the funniest shows I've seen. The guy who did the Study like a Scholar (BYU's spin on the Old Spice commercials) was in Humor U and he was so stinkin funny. We laughed pretty much the entire show! 


After that we went back to my place and watched a few clips of one of my favorite comedians on youtube and then it was late, so Chris left. It was a pretty darn good first date. Our second date then was the next day when I went to his apartment and we watched Space Jam. That was equally exciting, but not technically our first date so I couldn't just write about that.


And there you have it. Good Mexican food and a comedy show. That's what it takes to win me over :)
