Way back in April of 2011 over Easter weekend Janet and I had our first date. This was when she invited me to see her in Atlanta while she visited for her nephew Xander's baby blessing. It was such a fantastic weekend! I was super nervous to go out there since it was our first time seeing each other in person since New Years, but I was also so extremely excited. I had been in Costa Rica the week before, and had been talking about her, and visiting her pretty much the whole time I was there. I kept thinking about all the things I could take her there to do and see and how much greater it would have been with her there. Anyway, we were to have our first official date that weekend. We went to a park and drew with sidewalk chalk next to a pond. Then we spent some time looking for somewhere to set up my slackline, but we didn't end up finding a good spot. So we went out to eat at a local bbq restaurant. It was pretty good. If I remember correctly Janet got a bbq sandwich and I got ribs. It was decent, but not the best bbq. Then we went and bought some ice cream (which we didn't end up eating) and we returned to Cameron and Sandra's house to watch a movie. We watched I Am Legend, and of course, Janet fell asleep within the first 20 minutes of it =). I ended up dosing off at the end of the movie as well. When I woke up, that was when I kissed her for the first time... a small peck on the lips to wake her up. It was so amazing to be with her, and it is something I will remember forever. Anyway, here are some of the pictures from that date.
This past Easter, we went back to Atlanta to visit Cameron and Sandra. We were able to recreate the date to a certain extent. We went back with sidewalk chalk to the same park, and re-drew some of the pictures we drew the first time. Then we walked around the park and sat at one of the benches all the while talking and remembering last year. Janet has been such a blessing in my life, and I am so grateful for her and all she does!
Here is the pond! It's a pretty one... though it's hard to tell in this pic.
Here are some super cute pictures of us... especially Janet. She probably won't be too happy that I'm posting these because of the faces she is making, but I think they are super cute.
