Bowling

Saturday July 23)The next day we went bowling. - I (Taylor) had previously told him that I wasnt any good at bowling, then sure enough we get to the place, and we start playing, and the first  2 or 3 frames I (Taylor) got strikes... Steve was getting nervous. he thought I was some pro-bowler or something. It was so cute seeing him getting kinda nervous. :) but he did end up winning if I remember correctly :) we had fun with it.

Sushi Date

Taylor and Steve went out to Sushi at a little place called Suzushi in Mansfield, TX.  It was quite an experience since we ordered what was called the "Love Boat" which is for two people.  Little did we know that we would get a huge boat with sushi all over it.  It was a lot of fun and were not able to eat all of it since there was too much for us to have.

4th date... a Favorite of both of ours.

(Written by Taylor)
Steve had mentioned on the prior date, that it would be a good idea to go to Botanical gardens and a museum. so that we we planned it out... I'd meet him at his house at 10am, then we'd go to botanical gardens and then wed grab some lunch, then we'd go to Amon Carter art museum in Ft. Worth
so..
I (Taylor) went to Steve's house that morning and off we went to botanical gardens, we walked around for a little bit, then we went and had lunch at chipotle, then we went to the Kimbell art museum, (where I had the most fun)--- we just laughed and giggled and commented on every piece. there was one piece in particular, (I think this was the moment that I really realized that he was so funny) - but it was a watercolor, looked like an “inkblot” and to me it looked like a duck.. -- a black duck... and i commented and said it looks like a duck” -- he said “ah yes, i see it..” - I looked at him like ‘really?????’ so then he turned his head and said “wait, from the front view or the back view?”i started cracking up (but we had to stifle our laughs and giggles because there were other people around really appreciating the art) -but amongst the laughter i said “the side view...” which got us really going..... we spent about 3 hours in that museum. and we had the best time. definitely one of the most fun times we had.That day after we went to the museum we decided to go back to Steve's house and watch a movie... so we got back to his place and we watched “shutter island”--- he said he had seen it, from the way he was talking it sounded like he watched it alot... - so during the movie he was saying stuff and it was clear he wasnt quite sure what was going on in the movie... or what was going to happen, after the movie we then went to dinner, there is a little burger place near his house so we went there, and his neighbors were there too, so I went outside and grabbed us a table, and then he went and talked to them for a few minutes. We ate our dinner, then we talked for a long time, then we didnt want the evening to end yet, so after awhile we decided to just go downtown and to just walk around, so we mainly just walked around barnes and noble. :) we had a lot of fun.

Fourth of July

I had mentioned to him that you can see the fireworks from my church, they'd be having a bbq and then watch the fireworks, I mentioned to him that he could come to my apt,and then we could walk to the church (it was an easy walk..) so He met me in my apartment parking lot, we both grabbed a chair to take with us, and we started our little hike to the church. We ate a little something and then we sat outside and we watched the fire works.
While we were watching them, we were chatting, commenting on the different fireworks, and then Steve asked me “what is your favorite holiday” .. I thought for a second, and I said something along the lines of “I like alot of them, I really enjoy the fireworks at 4th of July, but I do enjoy thanksgiving, partially because my Birthday is around thanksgiving.” -- his facial expression was priceless, thats when we found out we were about a year and five days apart. :) Afer the fireworks we walked back, then he told me that hed like to see me again.. (for a 4th date) -- I said that I’d love to see him again... he already had an idea/plan. -- He said we could go to the botanical gardens and/or a museum. I loved the idea. i was so excited.

The Second Date

The following weekend was 4th of July weekend, I was going to be going out to the lake with my family, over the course of that week after we met up at starbucks, we talked just a little bit, and then he asked me if I'd like to do anything that coming friday, before I go out to the lake on that next day - so after talking, we decided to do something that was on both our lists... Rangers Baseball game... So he got tickets for Friday (July 1st 2011)
So we get to the stadium, park, and then i try to open my car door, to get out, i thought it was locked, i couldnt get out, Steve apparently thought I was crazy for not being able to open a car door... so he reached over, and couldnt get it, he locked and unlocked the door nothing... so then he got out and ran around and opened the door and it worked... (for the next few weeks he had to open the door for me..haha) So we get to the stadium, and we get the tickets -- then we go find our seats.. we had fantastic seats, we were on the first level - along the first baseline, some really great seats:) it was fantastic. we talked, and chatted during the game. -- after the game There were fireworks, it was really really nice. (plus i love fireworks.) afterwards walked back to the car, went back to starbucks to go get my car, i was sad to see the evening over. he said to me as I was leaving, “i’d really like to hang out with you again.” - I told him I would like to as well.

Our Second Date at the Rangers Game Album
