So we realized that we didn't have many pictures of us. So I grabbed my camera and tripod and we took some. Here they are.

Textual Relationship
Corryn: Man/Beast what the heck?
Rob: We had been joking that first night about how it would be funny to ask a girl on a first, second, and third date all at the same time. So because I have no spine and am a total wuss I decided to use it as an excuse to bring up the dating issue. So I asked her out for the following Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. One of the days she had a dance concert or something. But one of the nights worked and I was very happy. It was also very interesting because I already had a double date planned for the following night with my ward clerk and his wife (who were in their 50’s)and some girl they knew(who was not in her 50’s).

First Encounter
We met in the beginning of November. Weston decided to have a movie night at our apartment so he invited a bunch of people. Heather was a mutual friend and invited Corryn to come with her to eat pizza, watch a movie and partake in the goodness.
The Start
Corryn: I had just gone through a break up about a month earlier. I had been invited to hang out with Rob and Weston a few times. Finally I gave in and decided I needed to meet more people.
Rob: I was just getting back into the dating scene. After a few random experiences the month before and then a short drought it was time to cowboy up and get back on the horse. I had a blind date planned with another girl (a double date actually with the ward clerk and his wife)and there was a second girl that was showing a lot of interest. However at this moment I was planning on spending the night doing absolutely nothing. Totally unaware that Weston had other plans.
First Sight
Corryn: I remember Rob was wearing a purple tie dye V-neck and black rimmed glasses. I have always loved black rimmed glasses. (very sexy) Heather introduced us and he was not at all what I expected from what she told me about their previous date. A little later I remember standing at the counter while he was playing the guitar, some Beatles song, I can’t remember I tried to make conversation but he wasn’t very cooperative.
Rob: Our eyes met sparks flew, angels in the heavens sang glorious songs my heart jumped into my throat. Who was this golden haired goddess that just stumbled into my apartment? I didn’t really know what to say just that I need to say something. I remember thinking “she is gorgeous, I better get after her before Weston does or I’ll never get the chance.” I probably said some stuff. I don’t remember what, but it was probably dumb. Usually I don’t have that problem, natural born lady killer ya know, but I was about to be humbled.
The Conversation (or lack thereof)
Corryn: There was Pomegranate 7-Up Rob had some and I was wondering how it tasted. He offered a sip and I drank some from his cup which is something I never do. At some point I don’t remember what was going on but we ended up holding hands for a second.
Rob: I remember something about soda pop and pizza and holding hands and blond hair and angels and love and bunnies and something and fuzzy.
The Movie
Corryn: Rob sat right next to me and Weston sat below me on the ground with his head on my knee. I wasn’t sure what to think. Weston wanted me to give him a head massage. I wouldn’t but Heather did.
Rob: I knew I was interested in this girl so I made sure that I sat by her during the movie. I wasn’t really sure what to think though when she refused to touch Weston and sat very far from me. But the movie was good.
The Dance Party
Corryn: I blocked this out on account of Weston’s dance moves.
Rob: I still wasn’t sure what to think but I definitely liked her moves. But I tried not to seem too interested. I didn’t want to be that creepy guy that follows people around like a lost little puppy even though I feel like a lost little puppy sometimes on the inside. But don’t tell anyone.
The Circle
Corryn: I remember sitting in the dark in a circle and we had to say our dance motto or spirit animal for the night. I remember it was strange.
Rob: We did our customary post dance circle up. I sat across the circle from her Weston was sitting by her. Must say I was a little bit jealous. But again didn’t want to be creepy. I remember saying something dumb like “my dance spirit animal is the platypus” or “my motto is dance till you sweat through your pants.”
Winding Down
Corryn: As we were leaving we were on the porch and talking about dance parties. Rob got my number so that he could invite us to the dance parties. I didn’t think much of it at the time.
Rob: I made up some dumb excuse to get her number. Dance night…. Number…. Text…. ASDKFAJA…. I probably sounded like an awkward cave man.
Post Encounter
Corryn: As we were driving home Heather told me that Rob doesn’t ever ask for numbers.
Rob: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
