Second "Date", First Kiss.

So after our awkward Saturday meeting at the coffee shop, which I honestly thought would be the last time I heard from Travis, but then I get a text before I even turn the key in my ignition.

"When can we hang out again? :)"

I had to work the next few days but we decided on the following Wednesday. Since I had been talking to him for almost 5 months and no red flags after we met in person, we decided we'd hang out at his house. I took the frontrunner from Salt Lake to Ogden and he was 15 mins late to pick me up! What a jerk! I would have almost thought he stood me up if I didn't get a bunch of texts from him apologizing for being late and he was really sorry. Haha!

So he picks me up in his red VW Golf and we head to his house. As we are getting closer to where he tells me his house is, I am thinking to myself- "This is hillbilly status! He lives in the middle of nowhere!!!!".  When finally we get to his house we decide to watch one of our favorite movies, Tim Burton's

Nightmare Before Christmas .

He teases me for knowing all the songs (I have the soundtrack on my iPod haha) and I tease him for his hand being sweaty as he tries to hold my hand. We are almost to the end of the movie, maybe 20 mins left and he keeps looking at me. I see him out of the corner of my eye so I just ignore it thinking he will stop... he doesn't, so I look at him and he keeps staring and I look away. I ignore him until the end credits. Slightly annoyed, I look at him again and ask him "What are you waiting for?" He shrugs his shoulders and just as I start to look away, leans in and lays a big fat kiss right on my lips!

(Ok maybe I am exaggerating. It was a good first kiss, probably the best first kiss I have had. It was just weird to kiss someone that had bigger lips than me.)

He took me totally by surprise. This kid was so shy, it was probably the LAST thing I ever thought was going to happen this day. But it was probably the BEST thing that could have happened that day. All the tension was gone, and then the boy who doesn't say anything turns into the boy who doesn't stop talking. :]

Fast forward a few hours of cuddling on the couch and watching old Home Inprovement episodes, I have to ask what "this" is and what we are. Travis decides that since we have already kissed we are obligated to be together wheather we like it or not. :]

Thus our anniversary is decided, April 29th, 2009.

The first "anniversary" we celebrated. Our 6 months.
