The Great Date Experiment - Date One.

For Valentines Day, Kevin and I participated in The Great Date Experiment. To learn more, go here.

It was fun and it got us talking about stuff we usually don't talk about on a regular basis. I had a great night and my "love cup" runneth over.

We selected Gringos for dinner (no surprise there)!! Hey! We don't eat out much, might as well go to our favorite place! ;-) While we waited to order and ate our food, we discussed these questions:

I knew you were the one when - Kevin: "At the airport, on my way to Seattle." It was the first time we were apart very early in our friendship. He was on his was to visit a female friend who he once had feelings for. Sounds weird, but the trip was planned way before we knew we liked each other. Ange: "When you were at my apartment with Brandi waiting for me after my wack-o date with whatshisface." Before we started dating, I was still dating other people even though I knew I liked Kevin. That night, he made me realize there was no need. He was there, putting himself out there and wouldn't take no for an answer. Thank goodness! =)

If you and I had two days alone together, how would you want to spend the time? We both pretty much agreed at the beach. RELAXING! ha!

If you could relive one day of your childhood, and you could take the kid version oof me with you, what day would it be? Kevin: "A basketball game, so you could see how good I was." ha! Loved that answer! Ange: "Any day you could meet my grandpa." Kevin reminds me SO much of my papa, I wished he could have known him.

If you and I could take a paid sabbatical for an entire year, what would you most like to do? We both agreed travel the world.

If I decided to get a tattoo that summed up in one word why I love you, the word would be - Kevin: "Kaiden. You gave him to me and just seeing you with him. You are the greatest mom. You can tell you are each others world." Aww, heart melts. Ange: "Believe. I've always said I will marry the man that doesn't give up on me. You never have. You believe in me and that I can become the person I want to be."

Point Three of the date was a little more personal, so I'll just keep that between us. We learned a lot from the Pointe Three questions and I hope we use what we discussed in the future.

We didn't do the dessert part of the date because we were both just SO full from Gringos. We did go home and watch a movie and just snuggled together. I'm always a fan of that.

We have a rain check on carving our initials into our tree in the back yard. I can't wait! I've never carved my name into anything and it will be a nice reminder of how strong and lasting we both want our marriage to be.

I can't wait until the next date! How did you spend your Valentines Day??
