Our First Date 2006

On our first date, Kevin and I met at Mudhouse Coffee in downtown Charlottesville. I was 27 and working at legal aid during the summer between my 1L and 2L year. He was 26 and teaching writing at Bridgewater College.

I dressed up to go to the Downtown Mall. I was wearing a black fitted shirt and white jean skirt and white sandals with little heels. Sarah and Donald dropped me off Downtown. Kevin was sitting outside reading the New York Times. Apparently, he does this every Sunday. The first thing I noticed about him was his bushy hair and that he was cute. In that order.

Kevin got me a cappuccino while he sipped a green tea. He tried to impress me with his two-book contract and personal Dave Barry connection (I love Dave Barry). He seemed really funny and smart. I probably shouldn't have told him that I don't believe in happiness.

Maybe he thought some ice cream would make me reconsider happiness? After Mudhouse, he suggested we walk over to Chaps for dessert. I was charmed. He drove me home to Ivy Gardens and asked if I'd be interested in another date. I said, "definitely."

 *Spoiler alert: I wrote this post after our engagement.
