weekly link up: most memorable date

This week on "Weekly link Up", we wanna know all about your most memorable date. It can be a funny, cute, amazing, horrible, bad awkward or whatever kind you wanna share. 

Guys, I didnt really date much before I got married. I never really liked the idea of dating. I can probably count the number "dates" I've had on one hand. haha Anyways, I wanna share with you all the story of the Hubby and I's VERY first date since its a pretty awesome story! WARNING: It's a long one, but a must read.


The background: The Hubby and I met while he was on his mission. He served in the Singles Branch I was attending. I only remember talking to him a few times, I had a "boyfriend" at the time and you can say I wasn't in the "look at the cute missionaries" phase like all the other girls. Anyways, the Hubby went home and about a year after he had been home. I noticed he started to like pictures of FB or like my status'. I would tell all my friends about and they all were like maybe you guys are soul mates. You know silly friend comments. haha! 


One day in March 2010 he messaged me on FB and we started chatting. I had to go somewhere so I did something I never would have done before....I gave him my number. MY NUMBER! Yeah, cray cray. I didn't think he would text me but guys guess what he did. "Hope I put this in right...is this Eryka?"---thats the text I received. Alright, so after that day we started the talking everyday phase. We would text, fb chat, skype, and talk on the phone. 


So after about a month of the talking everyday. I had a Utah trip planned to visit my cousin and of course to see Dan. So we could finally go on our first date. So now onto the first date story! haha


The first date: After a SUPER nerve racking flight to Utah, I landed. As I walked to baggage claim to meet him I was a WRECK. Super nervous. Oy! So I started going down the escalator I could seem him standing at the bottom holding a pink rose and sign that said "ERYKA". {CUTE THE AWWWW} 


After a awkward hug we headed to his car and off to sushi we went. I don't really remember what we talked about. I do remember it was super awkward at first but, after dinner it wasnt so much.  As we were walking to the car he said "I wish we could do what they were doing" {a couple holding hands walked by...haha} Yeah, we held hands! 


From dinner we went to his house to watch "Hot Rod". At his house I met his parents for the first time and then we watched "Hot Rod". So they we are watching "Hot Rod" sorta cuddling on the couch. My cousin Annie called to see how it was going and to see when I was gonna be at her house. Before we said bye she asked "Are you falling in love yet?" But, Dan could totally hear her and we both started cracking up. Super funny! 


After the movie he took me to Ogden where I was staying at Annie's. He came in and visited for a little and then I walked him out to his car and in my Aunt and Uncle's garage we had our very first kiss. Yeah we kissed on the first date. Bahaha! 


..and the rest is history!
