First Date

Ladies, your "how we met stories" were fantastic! I loved them, and thank you for participating!

This week you have the opportunity to tell us all about your first date with the man who became (or will become) your husband. And if you're single and just have a first date that didn't end in marriage, feel free to share, too! I decided that next week we'll have a "filler" post for any of those relational details between first dates and the proposal (my story needs one and since it's my blog, I figured that would be legal!).

When we left Mr. Yellow Hat and myself, we had arrived at Cedarville College for our freshman year and had met in band. After heart to heart talks on a band bus, the big reveal was made: Mr. YH had a girlfriend. {Who comes to college attached??!!?} Well, apparently, that thought also crossed the mind of said YH girlfriend and she broke up with him not long after.

Gosh. That was too bad. Muhahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I did let him do the pursuing. He invited me to a Michael Card concert.


He walked over to my dorm to pick me up and we walked to the chapel for the concert. Look at that hair- Sally Brown bangs and all. Get a load of those pegged pants- seriously! Where were my fashion police!?!??! Probably taking the photo. Gracious!

All I have written in the scrapbook is that after the concert we got some ice cream at a little place across the street from campus called Mom and Dad's and then sat outside and talked. At the end of the date, I got a hug. I think we became "official" after Thanksgiving break.

We dated (meaning BF/GF) on and off for three years.

my matron of honor and I met this night-
we wore the same color dress!)


Dining Out 1993
(notice Willets Lobby had a make-over)

We broke up for good in our junior year and talked only occassionally our senior year. I graduated (Mr. YH went for the 5-year plan) and headed to Atlanta to get my masters degree in music at Georgia State and to leave that Mr. Yellow Hat in my past where. he. belonged.

Your turn!!
