First Date: I'm getting ready to go on my first date with this beautiful girl named Jessica. Very nervous but ready. Date set at 4. I planned to pick her up a little early to show her I will always be on time. I headed over to her house, feeling nervous on the way but excited for my first ever date with an actual girl.

Finally get to her house, and someone is sitting outside with a gun, but it didn't even phase me, because it was just her younger brother, Eli.

I said, "What are you gonna shoot me?"

Eli said, "No, just sitting here."

Then I proceeded to walk to the front door and knocked. Jessica answered the door and said, "Hey, you ready?"

Then I hear, "Hey, Jess, let him step in!". Jessica's mom called from the kitchen. I don't remember exactly what she said, but she was trying to embarass Jessica, and also said something about her being her "mini-me". Then we headed to the car.

We headed to On the Border. I picked it because I knew Jessica loved tacos. We laughed, talked about life the whole way, and just had a good time, a great start. At On the Border, we enjoyed a nice mexican dinner. Jessica ordered the three mini chicken tacos, and I got the Queso Burrito. While we waited for our food, Jessica decided to play footsie with me. I didn't know what the heck that was, but went along with it. We got our food, and kept talking and eating. I paid the bill, then we headed to the beach.

When we got to the beach, we decided to go for a little walk. Midway through our walk, a big gust of wind started blowing sand in Jessica's face. I grabbed her hand to switch places and protect her from the wind, and we held hands the rest of the way. We went up the channel, and walked all the way to a little public dock overlooking Lake Macatawa. I held Jessica and we stared out at the lake for a couple of minutes. Fast forward two years, on the same dock looking at Lake Macatawa, but this time I'm on one knee proposing to Jessica. She started crying because we both have been picturing this day ever since we started thinking about it! She stopped crying for a second and said, "Yes I will". And then from there our Love for each other has just continued to grow more and more each day. Making us inseperable now more than ever. We can't wait to celebrate our Big Day with you there!
