One Thing Lead to Another....

We realize that it is ridiculous to condense over a year of dating into one post, but in the interest of time, we will try to do a little better than a "yada, yada, then he proposed." The first date was to PF Chang's for dinner, followed by a stroll through Christmas lights in Winterhaven. Date number two was dinner at North followed by a movie (National Treasure 2). Date number two was followed by a conversation Amanda loves to tease Jason about, where he indicated that he was only looking for friendship and did not plan on having a serious relationship. Clearly, this was a really effective plan ;) Amanda does love a challenge....

We won't take you date by date through the process, although Amanda probably could name what we were wearing on each of these evenings--and Jason probably remembers that we went somewhere and did something. The true start of “dating” is under dispute; one of us thinks this began when we started going on dates, and the other has a more nebulous idea where it followed “being friends” and “hanging out.” Regardless, it was an amazing year-ish which included trips to Disneyland, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas for a wedding, Iowa, Texas, Albuquerque for the balloon festival, NASCAR, waterskiing on Canyon Lake, camping, surprise parties, halloween costumes, a half marathon, and more. We had a great time getting to know each other and building our relationship!
