(I promised a part two didn't I?)
March 8, 2006....Wednesday
My day is normal at work, watching the twins and coming home around 1pm or so. I didn't expect anything different to happen that night, so I had my leftover from dinner last night around 6. I'm the only one home at my aunts house. At 7 o clock you call me. A phone call? You sound different on the phone. Nervous almost. You ask if I'm busy and I say no. WE are different on the phone. After two minutes of dancing around you ask if I want to do something. I don't have any ideas. "Call me back in 10 minutes if you come up with something." I thought my answer was very clever. 5 minutes later you call back and ask if I'm hungry. Blah. I just had a pork chop. And a thick one at that. But I get excited knowing your coming over.
Not too long after, maybe 20 minutes you're at my house. You have a cute car, it's a cute 2006 Scion. It's blue, still smells new I love it. I'm surprised how roomy it is inside for how small it looks. WE drive around for about 5 minutes trying to figure out where to eat. You decided on Denny's. But you work at Denny's. You walk in, saying hello to everyone but forgetting about me. We sit down to order and to start eating and it turns into a job interview. Have you done this have you done that? Have you ever cheated on a boyfriend? I'm laughing thinking about it now, but you should have just asked me where I'm from you know. But we are having a nice time. Finishing my huge breakfast platter and some how waddling back to the car, you ask me if I need to be home at a certain time.I say no, which is true. I noticed as we started driving that is was snowing. It's March, how crazy.
You tell me you want to show me something excited. It's starting to get cold and we drive down to the Tacoma Waterfront. We're at the Museum of Glass. I didn't realize how big it is, until I stand next to it. Very pretty. You tell me you walked around her with another girl. I feel special now. I'm number 2. You and I walk arm and arm and you tell me about your mission. There's something "special" you want to show me. You slide a piece of concrete back and reveal something. It's a jeep I think with a tag on it. You call it "geocaching". I'm clueless, but kind of taken back you'd show me something so secret.
We start walking across the sky walk way. I am afraid to tell you I'm scared of heights but Downtown Tacoma looks very pretty. We talk about church. That topic is pretty broad with our church....and since you're a return missionary I expect you to go on for hours about your mission. But you keep your answer pretty basic, which is nice. Something seems different, maybe because it's snowing but it's nice to be around you. I like that....
