He seemed really genuine, close to his family, and well-rounded. So, I e-mailed him back that morning. He had asked about my family and education and I replied to ask him about his. I hadn't expected to get a quick response, so I was surprised when he e-mailed me back that afternoon. The e-mails kept coming, and we talked about everything from the weather it had just snowed and then flipped to 80 degree weather that weekend! I was surprised at how eager I was to check my e-mails every day - and even more surprised that he was interested enough to respond as quickly as I did.
Our e-mails got longer and longer until he finally asked me if I would be comfortable meeting for coffee one day. I was busy with my sister we went to Alki beach that weekend so we planned for the next one. I knew I would be working overtime because I had some projects I was putting together, so we planned for the afternoon of April 20, I looked forward to it that entire week.
As someone who is normally early to everything, I was mortified when I found myself running late that day. I had to text the poor guy to reschedule. Initially, we had planned on meeting at noon, then in the early afternoon, then that changed to five I was a nervous wreck by the time I made it. Heading there in my rush, I sent him a text message to say that I was incredibly nervous. His response sold me. I was completely at ease from that moment on. I walked in, spotted him immediately, and sat at the table. I had a fleeting thought about getting coffee as I hadn't had any that day and Starbucks is my one true vice!

We talked for hours. And it was so comfortable - it was like talking to someone I had known my entire life! Eventually, the barista let us know that they were closing for the evening. So, we decided it best to get going. Poor Aaron was in a polo shirt and I was sure that he had to be miserably cold, but every time I asked him if he was too cold, he said that he was alright which I knew there was no way - I was in a pea-coat and freezing my tukus off!

Eventually, we both decided that it was getting pretty late, as it was almost eleven by that point. We got in our cars and drove out of the parking lot. I hoped that I would hear from him soon. Then I got a text message before I even got out of the parking lot. He told me that he had a wonderful time and asked me if I wanted to get together again the next weekend.

We flew out on Christmas day and left the winter wonderland in Washington that morning. We had planned on going to the park that evening, but were both exhausted by the time we made it to our hotel. We decided to find a restaurant open for Christmas dinner and then turn in for the night so that we could be up early in the morning to beat the park rush. We asked the gal at the reception desk for pointers on finding a place and she sent us on our way toward the parks.
The walk was nice. I was in heaven already - in California on Christmas with the guy I loved so much, with eight solid days to enjoy Disneyland ahead of us. We eventually found a Tony Roma's that was open. The waitress was super cute and we talked to her about our vacation plans. She was from Washington so she felt our pain when we told her about the snow storm that we had escaped from. It was funny, the rest of the Californians we spoke with were all worried about the "Frost Warning" the weatherman predicted when we got there.
Aaron held my hand across the table and I remember thinking while he was talking to the waitress that I was literally the happiest I had ever been in my entire life at that moment. And, he was too - he had found ribs on their menu! It was really cold outside when we headed on our way back. At the same time that Washington was facing its cold snap, California was getting one of its own. It was nothing in comparison, but it was still really cold for California! An email is on its way to.

One time we went on a group hiking trip, and we were sitting in the middle seat of the van and making out all over the place, and behind us was this single middle-aged lady traveling alone. I still feel for that lady. I find the responsiveness of girls IRL is better than those on cupid.
