Busy Life Part Two

Went on a date friday night. Nothing too elegant. But it definitely was amazing. For starters, I'm a very simple guy. I'm comfortable with just dinner and a movie. And that was exactly what we did. Back tracking a little bit here for those that don't know: Yes, I have a girlfriend now, and let it be said that she is amazing, and I could never ask for anyone better.

Friday was cold and rainy. I had the day off from work, and I had the morning to polish some last minute homework before picking her up. Well I end up running a little late, I get to her place, say hi to the parents, and we're off on our date. My grandma gave me a gift card to Olive Garden for my birthday, with the intent to possibly use it on a date, which is exactly what happened with it. Now, there's a reason she gave me a gift card to Olive Garden: My grandmother was adamant about not having a facebook because the news kept telling her of all the security issues. Well, in due time us grandkids and her own kids got her convinced to get one, since that is the easiest way for her to see what everyone is up to on a day to day basis. Because she broke down and got one, she saw that back in September, I went to Olive Garden by myself for dinner. Well, for my birthday she got me a gift card, and on the back wrote "date night? Maybe?"

I think it's a great testament to social networking right there and how great it can be at times. 

Anyways, onward with the night's story...

I pick up Jami and we head off in her car, because I was tired of driving the family Expedition, and her Mercedes is admittedly a lot of fun to drive. We catch an early afternoon showing of In Time, and really enjoy it. Although I still don't get how some of my co-workers and other people think I look like Justin Timberlake. That's what I've been told, and I guess it's a compliment. After the movie got out, it started to rain a bit, and it was really cool because we kissed in the rain...first time that's ever happened and I gotta say that it's amazing when it does. 

After the movie we throw on some music, and head over to Olive Garden. Ended up having to wait 30 or so minutes so we run back to her car in the rain, and wait. What was really fun is that we passed the time watching the Office on her phone on netflix. How awesome is technology, right? 

Dinner was amazing. Any chance to just sit and talk, I take. I love that. Just sitting and talking. You can talk for hours about anything and it's completely comfortable. Especially with Jami. I can never be bored in a conversation with her, because the conversation just rolls from one topic to the next and it's just so naturally comfortable. I really love it. :) 

After dinner she had to get a HMDI cable, and I had a gift card to spend at Best Buy, so we spend the rest of the night wandering the aisles of the store finding stuff to buy. After I finally decide what I want (Captain America on Blu-Ray, and a rad pair of Sony headphones), we jet over to Starbucks for coffee, and spend more time talking. 

It's mushy, and some will end up posting 'gag' or 'get a room' etc. But I don't care. I mean it when I say she's awesome. I really couldn't be any happier with anyone else, and I really hope and pray this relationship lasts. It should, considering we're both keeping God at the center of it, and taking our time with it all. Especially considering we have all the time in the world! She's everything I could ever ask for. 

Now I've gotta get some other projects done for the night. My bro Austen and I have the start of the Winter Light  next week, and I have to work on the video for the show. I'll try to keep up with blogging, since I've got some complaints that I've been distant with it lately. Hope to post soon!
