Preference: "Don't Break the Ice"

I spent all afternoon getting ready. I mean, what girl doesn't do that when she has a date? And especially a first date. Anyway, the girls from next door helped me decide on what to wear (I actually borrowed clothes from them), do my hair, make-up, etc. It was tons of fun! Here's the final result:




I was extremely nervous. I met Neil at his apartment and we walked to Wendy's. Once we were together, though, things went smoothly and we could just be friends out having fun together. No pressure. Then we went to the Varsity Theater in the Wilk to see a dollar movie, WALL-E, and that's like the cutest movie ever. Neil'd never seen it, and he said it was good. I really, really like the soundtrack for some reason. Good movie.

After that we met up with my friend and her boyfriend who we were doubling with (plus, they have a car), and they hadn't eaten yet, so we went back to Wendy's and watched them eat. Neil had some fun with the straws, as you can see form these pics....

Running out of ideas at this point

Once we finally got to the Ice Arena, we had to stand in 2 different lines and it was a loooong wait. These are some pics I took while we were waiting....

Anyway, we finally got our skates and it took a while to put them on, then we were some of the first ones out on the newly-Zamboni-ed ice. It was really nice. I turned out to be the best ice skater out of us 4, and when all three of them are from Utah, that's just plain sad.

Eventually I started a game of tag with Neil. And then it was on! We chased each other the whole rest of the night. It was like a couple hours. We were pretty obnoxious though, and kept running into people, including each other. It was soo hilarious. Here are some pics from on the ice:

Super speed

Fluffy hair!

Brianna drove us home at midnight, and we spent the rest of our visiting hours playing Nertz at his apartment. I totally smoked him, and it was great fun. Hope you all enjoyed the pics. Now here are a couple vids you might like:
