Okay...so I can't believe it's been 7 years since Brad and I had our "first" date. A blind date really...even though we had been talking on the phone for a while. Our first time meeting was at one of his gigs at a local casino:) (So romantic I know). We were both anxious...and I thankfully had my wing man...Cayle...there to buffer any awkwardness:) Hehe. Ironically...once Brad and I met...the poor guy was pretty much shoved to the next table (Thankfully with Brad's parents) while Brad and I chatted away!
And might I just mention...before I arrived...Brad was convinced I was the redhead smoking in the dark corner booth of the casino...thankfully he was relieved when he found out that was not me:)
We hit it off right away and have been together ever since! We had many fun dates..including the restaurant Wild Mountain Cafe in Ballard that is our absolute favorite! That's actually where he took me for our first "solo" date together and we have been back many times! (The falafal is great:)
During our seven years together we have found many things we love to do together. With the Pacific NW in our backyard and our common love of the outdoors...camping is one of our most favorite things to do...especially the ocean! Anyone ever been to Grayland Beach?? I grew up there camping with family and introduced it to Brad early on. He fell in love with it and it has become our annual camping trip each summer...same site and everything! So happy he enjoys outdoor fun as much as I do!

ReplyDeleteI'll always remember our first camping trip together with you guys! Let's do that agin with all of the crazy kids! Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteSaw your comment on BW blog about staying home. Don't know if you made a decision but thought this blog could offer some perspective. Google Clover Lane blog. Amazing mother. Read any of her motherhood and staying at home posts. It helped me a lot. I've been a SAHM for a year now! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHeather!! Yes Cayle was there!!! Hehe... He was such a good sport;)
ReplyDeleteJulie... Yes we need to go camping again... I was just asking Heather about how they did it with Connor!!! He was so little!!! It makes me nervous to take Ava... Maybe a hotel till she's older?? Haha...
Sheena.... Thanks do much for checking in!! Yes we decided it would be best for me to take another month off work... I'll only have to go back for 3 1/2 weeks before summer break... I'm a teacher... Wish we could have afforded to take the rest of the year off but we can't...;(... But an extra month is amazing and I'm so happy with our decision...Even though we'll be scrimping... She's worth it;)
ReplyDeleteThere were never 2 people more meant for each other.... my 2 cents :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're too sweet:)
