Well, good times were had last night. For those of you who couldn't figure out the word scramble, I went on a first date. The short and sweet of it: I took a girl named Eleanor out to dinner and then just hung out for most of the night. If you're like me and want all the little details...

So, I hung out with my sister last Wednesday for a few hours. Having decided by this point that I was going to ask Eleanor out, I did my best sad puppy dog face to try and convince Crissy to let me borrow her car. Being the ever so sweet and kind sister that she is, she agreed so I was all set. I did a little research on ye olde internet to find a good restaurant, and then I called her Sunday night to ask her out.

I went over to my dad's house to kill some time yesterday before the date and to ease the nerves. Turns out Crissy had gotten in an accident on Friday, so my dad had to do a little work to take out the freshly popped airbags and newly dented fender. The Eclipse wasn't looking its best, but it was night and I wasn't too concerned.

After picking Eleanor up and opening her car door, we headed over to Birdi's in Decatur. It was good, really quiet since it was Tuesday, but good. An hour later my sister called, so we left Birdi's a little early to drive Crissy home from her dance class. I then proceeded to drive to a closed Paolo's Gelato in VA-Highlands and a no-longer-existent Jake's. Two strikes. We gave up on dessert and then just spent the next few hours on a bench swing at Agnes talking.

So yeah, altogether good times were had. As for what I'm doing next, it's all uncharted territory. But I'm excited! I took a few pictures, but she made me promise not to post any of her so I must abstain for now.

Thanks for all your prayers, encouragement, and excitement! Goodnight.
