10 years

Today has been a really great day. It is the 10 year anniversary of my first date with Andy.

We were juniors in high school. We had met a few weeks earlier at a band contest--sounds pretty awesome right? We were both there to support friends who were in the band. I went with a volleyball teammate who happened to have a huge crush on Andy. We all sat together and Andy fixed the broken zipper on my wallet (always the handyman). He ended up riding back with us to my house where a few other friends hung out for awhile. During that night, my friend that had the crush on Andy gave me her blessing and moved on to her next crush. Andy and I spent some more time together within a group during the next few weeks and then he called me to see if i wanted to go see a movie. Sunday night, November 1st, he came to pick me up in his orange Chevy Monza.It was raining so he pulled into the garage so I wouldn't get wet. We were going to see a movie and ended up grabbing some food at Subway and walking around the mall a little while we waited for our movie time. We saw Holy Man and it was apparently so memorable that when we were thinking of our first date about a year later, neither of us could remember what movie we saw...
