For our second date, we planned to meet in St. Cloud (where Andy lives) on Sunday to check out a church together. (Andy moved from the cities to St. Cloud just a few weeks before I met him, so he hadn’t found a church yet.) I had spent Saturday at my parents’ house in Grove City. It was snowing like crazy Sunday morning. Andy wanted to go to the earliest service at 9 a.m., probably so he could spend more time with me that day. Because of the road conditions, it wasn’t safe to drive the speed limit, but I’m pretty sure that I drove the speed limit or even exceeded it so that I wouldn’t be late. I got there a little before 9, so we decided to go to the later service. He showed me around his apartment and we goofed around on his computer. We lost track of time and ended up being a few minutes late to the later service. Church was good. I found out months later that during the service, Andy had his hand strategically placed so that I could grab it. He was lucky that I was too oblivious to notice that. I was definitely not ready to hold his hand. I just met him! After church we went to Target and then to look at furniture for my house at Hennen’s. Here is what Andy had to say about our date on his blog:
Interesting Superbowl Sunday
Yesterday was probably the best Superbowl Sunday for me that I can remember. The game itself was okay, but it was before the game that made the day great. I had a great time on a second date that most would be unimpressed by. What can I say? We looked at toilet bowl cleaner together! I hope she gets a chuckle reading that. She showed up early enough to go check out a new church with me, which I liked but will be checking out at least one other before I become a regular attendee. We then went to look at furniture, which was a lot of fun. A quick trip through Target, some lunch, and then some time just talking and getting to know each other a little more.
