It's a Date =]

Like the title suggests, I went on a date. Last night. Institute announced the annual date night again last Sunday in church and wouldn't ya know, I went again! :) It was about the same thing as last year; they had us drive to the bottom of the "C" trail and hike to an unknown location with yellow ribbon markers. This time around, the date was done correctly-because last year it was just us hiking down in the dark by ourselves. Yup, round two was with Mike :)

It was mostly us and Chris his brother and his date, Megan Taylor. Chris is in my institute class and serves as the president. I had not really talked to him that much before so while we hiked, I talked briefly and got to know him. The trail was kind of a killer with such a steep incline. I was able to keep up nonetheless. I'm going to say this now, and that's a shout out thank you to Scott who let us have his Gatorade when we didn't bring any water. That Gatorade saved our lives. In case you're curious, we did get lost. Again. But only for a second because this guy who was "following" us told us everyone had made a turn off around three hundred feet back. ...Why did he follow us and not tell us that??? Whatever. I got some cool pictures because of our little turn off.

By the time we got to the final destination we had met some new faces and nearly eaten the ground. There came a point where I thought for sure one of us was going to when we walked down the hill side. It was the kind where you had to bend forward and go slowly to keep from falling over. For dinner they served us deli sandwiches, water, chips, and otter pops. I have to say the view from where Mike and I sat was pretty. The sun was setting over the city of which you could see. It over looked the deep canyon below us.

Mostly we talked about things that had happened during the year. And by us I mean mostly me. I told him about Jess's BBQ and freaking Randall. To my surprise he knew about Jess and he was well familiar with Randall. There's just something Mike that allows me to be myself when I'm with him like I am with my best friends. That's something that I usually don't get from a lot of guys.

After the sun had gone down, we walked or rather ran down the rest of the trail back to the truck in the dark. On the way I got some people to take our pictures and I had the opportunity to do the same for them. Thankfully we didn't eat it on the way down. :) Walking aways farther down, we ended up at the end of the street that goes past the tower and walked almost all the way back when a guy named Chris (I think) gave us a ride in the bed of his truck.

The ride home was quiet. I somehow brought up the fact that I wouldn't be doing anything for the rest of the night. So we hung out some more at his house. There I met his mom (awkwardly) and talked with Chris some more. We had quite the time trying to figure out what was the matter with Chris's macbook air b/c the internet was all screwy. After the eventual figuring it all through, Mike and I watched Youtube videos upstairs in their theatre room. "Everything's Okay Now" was the best. He hadn't seen Julian Smith videos before. I watched "Practical Jokesters" which is a group of four guys that dare each other to do stuff. The one we watched was the one where they went to a buffet and took food off of peoples' plates. The most food taken won.

After that we watched "Matilda" and I really liked it! :) Thank goodness for Netflix. By the time I got home it was around 12:50 ish. That was one of the best nights I've had this year. :D
