Day 10

DAY 10- Your favorite memory

July 10, 2010- Our first date :)

It's not necessarily my most favorite memory...because I've had a pretty awesome and eventful life :) But! This is one of them! And the cool thing is that it happened exactly 18 months ago today! Pretty neat, huh :)

Anyway, on July 9, 2010, the marching band was having a car wash. We were in the parking lot behind Checker Auto and we were washing cars like a boss ;) hahah. Jess and I were pretty much hanging out together cause she's cool :) And since Scott and Kolby were doing summer marching band with us, they were at the car wash too :)
Suddenly it started to rain so we had to quit the washing and take a trip to Mama Tripp's house. (you see what I did there? aahaha :)) Mama Tripp is Kaylien's mom. She was real nice to let all 20 of us kids come party at her house while we waited for the rain to stop....
We ate pizza and watched Benchwarmers while we waited. I was sitting on the floor by Kolby cause he's cute and Scott had told me like a week before then that Kolby liked me... :) So we were just talking a bit and it was quite entertaining!
Eventually we got to go back to the car wash and resumed the fun. :) While I was scrubbing someone's wheels I looked at Scott and I was like... I gotta tell you something. So he smiled and was like, What? So I said...I think I kinda like Kolby :) Then Scott got a really big smile on his face and started screaming and was like CAN I PLEASE TELL HIM?! It would be like a little boy getting Hot Wheels for Christmas! :) So I was like...fine you can tell  him but if it's awkward I'm gonna kill you! hahaha
After that it was my turn to go be a "sign shaker" with Jess, Kolby, and Scott. When I got up the hill Kolby was running like 100 miles an hour and screaming like a little girl. It was probably the best thing of my whole life. Like, for real. He's so adorable :) He kept hugging me and smiling at me and it was just awesome sauce! hahaha. I guess that means Scott told him the news.. :)
Later that day Austin's dad came and asked Scott if he wanted 4 tickets to go to a car show the next day. Scott then thought, "Hey let's go on a date :)" so he asked Jess and gave the other two tickets to Kolby and was like KARA COME HERE! :) When I got over to them Kolby was like wanna go on a date? :) So I was like heck yes! and then we were like yay! and then the car wash was over ): haha. We went back to the school to put the car wash stuff away and then Kolby gave me a ride home. And...he was playing Owl City. Okay. Like. I love Owl City so so much! It totally made my day when I found out he listened to it :) (this was sign #1 that I was totally gonna love him ;))
He texted me like all night and then sat by me on the bus to the parade the next morning. It was rad :)
After we got done with the parade I rushed home to make myself attractive and texted Jessica about how nervous I was. I'd been on ONE date since I had turned sixteen so I was quite shaky and excited :) (sign #2 :)) At like 1:30 he came and picked me up! He came in and said hi to my parents and then we drove to Toolee.
What an epic drive that was :) Kolby is such a hot driver. hahahahahah. :)
When we got to the motor park place we went in and Kolby was like "Do you wanna hold your ticket? :)" and when he handed it to me he grabbed my hand and didn't stop holding it all day long :)we watched the cars go round and round lots of times, looked at cars, walked around, jumped over things, laughed, sweated, talked, and then the boys got to drive fancy cars :)
(that's the picture. :) I took it from the back seat while Kolby was driving the Camero! haha)
When we got done we went to Arcitic Circle and ate food and then went to Scott's house and watched comedians. They were totally hilarious and it was just awesome :)
Oh, and Kolby played the piano for me :) (Sign #3)
And that's all I needed. After one date I was totally sold on the kid and we've been dating ever since. It's fun to look back so far and still be able to remember every minute of that date. It was so fun :)
Plus, I love those kids with all of my heart. Even though Scott is far away and Jessica is practically married now, I still feel like those 3 are my best friends. I'm really glad he asked me on that date :) It's been the best 18 months I could ever ask for :)
