First Date

John and I had started talking more and more in the end of December/beginning of January. We had made plans to meet at my mom's Vegas house in the middle of February, but John decided that was too long to wait and decided to drive the 12 hours down to see me in the middle of January. I was helping out at the Ventura Sephora store and was anxiously awaiting his arrival. He kept sending me text updates and would send pictures of where he was. Finally, (at the VERY end of my break) he got there and ran through the mall to come say hello before I went back to work. He ran around the corner and gave me the biggest hug of life... and then I had to go right back to work. Ridiculous! He went and changed and then came back to the store and hung out until the end of my shift. The entire time he was in there I was so giddy and excited! The other girls kept commenting about how it was so cute that he was there waiting for me :-)

We left the mall (holding hands maybe? I can't quite remember) and started to drive back to my house in our separate cars. I, unfortunately, am not the best at being followed and almost lost him so many times. Sorry, Dear! At home, I changed and got ready and we left for our date!

Our plan was to head down to Hollywood and have dinner. Since I am such a sickie, I had to stop by the pharmacy to pick up a prescription before they closed. After we parked and were headed into the pharmacy, he kissed me! I was so surprised! We then made our way down to Pink's Hot Dogs in Hollywood because John really wanted to try it. It was super fun and we had a great time talking and just enjoying each other's company. After dinner, we headed over to my favorite cream puff place at Hollywood and Highland and had delicious cream puffs. Yum!

It was a super fun night and I was so glad he came down before our Vegas trip to see me. It's strange after talking for hours on end but not seeing each other, how comfortable we were with each other. It was a delightful evening and one I'll remember for always.
