"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."

So, the details on my adventure with Vince yesterday!

He picked me up but wouldn't tell me where we were headed. Fred, his dog (a girl), wouldn't spill the beans either! lol Though he said he wasn't 100% sure where we were specifically going. We headed out to 18 so I knew we were headed east. We stopped at Lake Kachess (stump lake) so Fred could run around a bit. We got back on the road and stopped in Cle Elum to pick up something at the store for dinner. I think we drove another 30-45 minutes north of town and on some logging road. So much pretty scenery!! We both always like looking at the houses out in the country.

We probably got to our destination around 6:30 or maybe even a little later. It was just off this gravel road and right next to a creek/stream. SO PRETTY! Apparently he's camped there several times before. We walked around a bit and then he brought out his gun to KILL ME....psych, so we could shoot! When I found out he had guns a couple weeks ago I got a little excited. I've shot one before, many years ago, and wanted to do it gain. He gave me a little lesson so I wouldn't hurt anybody and he let me shoot as much as I wanted. It wasn't much though cause my hand hurt! Totally fun though and something I'd told him I'd wanted to do.

Then he started a fire. Something else I've told him I like. So I guess boys can listen! lol It took a little bit to get it going but it was really nice. I so enjoy sitting by a fire. We listened to his ipod a bit then just listened to nature and we talked some too. While it was still a twilighty I was like, "you'll get bonus points if stars show up." It looked a little cloudy so we weren't sure it would happen. Already an A date though. :) Then I laid down so I could look up at the stars. It was a really nice spot for it. The longer I stared up there the more starts I could see. He laid next to me for awhile and we saw a shooting star. Then Fred got in between us which was fine with me cause I was getting COLD.

I think we were probably there for another 30 minutes or so then we took off. The drive back seemed to take forever but it was nice. I so enjoy spending time with Vince. He's so nice and smart and cute and fun and get's me out doing stuff I wouldn't normally do. I'm trying really hard to just enjoy it without getting all "where are we going" but that is so hard for me. I'm just not a casual, go with the flow kind of girl. lol

So that's my story and I'm sticking to it! hahaha No plans for another date but I'm sure there will be another one. I hope so anyway. :)
