The actual day of our first date has long been disputed in our relationship.
You see, three years ago I called and asked Justin to come to a hockey banquet with me "as my date." I say this counts as a date. Justin says no way. He says our actual first date was two days later when he asked me out for May 5, 2015. That night we went to a Real Salt Lake soccer game and then to Chili's for dinner.
I think he's super silly, but I guess I'll give him the May 5th date so he doesn't have to go through life telling everyone that I asked him out, hehe ;) Plus, it's pretty fun that it's also Cinco de Mayo.
Sooooo...we've decided that it would be a fun family tradition to go out to Chili's every May 5th to celebrate our First Date Anniversary!
I don't remember every single detail of that first date. I vaguely remembered him wearing a light shirt, but Justin remembers exactly what he wore and sported the same white polo last night. However, both of us remember what I wore that night :) We were going to a RSL game so in my head I was thinking, "well I'm going to a sports event, I'll wear my jersey!" I remember asking Brittany what she thought about my attire so obviously I thought twice about it, but in the end I guess I thought wearing the jersey was the way to go, even for a first date. Justin says he was surprised and not really sure what to think when he picked me up and I was wearing a jersey haha. Oh well, I say he knew from that first night what kind of a girl he was getting!
I don't remember much about what we talked about at the game, but I do remember it was an easy conversation. One notable topic was that his Grandma Corbridge played hockey. Awesome!
At Chili's I remember where we sat, what I ordered, and that I really enjoyed being in Justin's company. I remember we got drinks and a dessert! Big spender I thought :) Now I know he's not really a big spender at all, he just chooses carefully when and how to spend his money. It's one of the things I love about him!
I checked to see if RSL had a game last night so we could completely re-create our first date, but they weren't playing. Oh well, I think going to Chili's is an easier tradition to keep up anyway. I do think we'll at least attempt to go to a RSL game near May 5th in the future. I think it will be a fun family outing once a year and a fun way to remember where things began for us. We also have our annual S'more Day on October 3rd which I think will also be a fun tradition to do with our kids. We'll reserve our actual anniversary for just us, but I can see these other celebrations being really fun too.

Nolan was of course such a good boy while we waited for a table and liked to watch everyone as they walked by.
He also really liked grabbing at everything he wasn't supposed to get on the table. It was pretty funny. And he seems to like the thrill of the chase. If we just give him whatever it was he was grabbing at he's over it and looks for something else.
Nolan definitely turned some heads with his cuteness. When we were about to leave I was standing up facing our table and Nolan was on my shoulder facing the table of people behind us. I heard some whispering and out of the corner of my eye saw one of the men point Nolan out to his wife. As I turned around to leave they commented on how cute and sweet tempered he is. I know! We are lucky lucky lucky to have this sweet boy!
Here he is at the end of the night all tuckered out.
p.s. I think baby feet are my favorite things ever.
