*Blast From The Past: Idaho Run*

I'm going to start doing a new kind of post and I'm going to call it "Blast From The Past".  It'll just be things from that past that I either just randomly remember or something I want to record so I don't forget. I have the worst memory so these might not be the best posts and I probably won't remember dates maybe only roughly.  But, since this blog is basically my journal I am going to try and write every detail I remember of something and at least try to make it half-way interesting.

Here is my first one.

Idaho Run

It was probably the 3rd week in February 2009, maybe Joe & I's 4th or 5th "date".  After about 15 minutes of driving around, listening to music and trying to decide what to do Joey just randomly starts driving North from Logan headed to Idaho.  I didn't ask why, just sat back and enjoyed being with him.  On the way we played 20 questions(not literally but it seemed like it) and got to know each other a lot more.  I remember picking songs from his Ipod that he really liked and he'd say something like "Ahhh, you're just trying to get me to marry you huh?" (Yes, I'm such a girl for remembering that haha).  About 20 minutes later he pulls over to the gas station/restaurant in Franklin, ID.  We get out and he tells me we're gonna buy some drinks and scratch tickets! (We had to drive to ID to get the scratch tickets because they don't have them in UT)  We each got a Gatorade and 2 scratch tickets.  I remember the guy working at the store kind of getting a little "frisky" with me and Joey walking over and putting a protective arm around me :)  When Joe got to his second ticket he had me kiss his quarter for him and he actually won $2!  I ended up putting that quarter in my pocket because he told me it was my good luck quarter and to make sure I always kept it for good luck.  I put it on my dresser for weeks and later I decided to put it in my "memory box" that I made with my cousin Amber when we were living together a few years before.  And I still have it!

I was so excited that Joey was so spontaneous, I knew that was the kind of guy I wanted to be with because I knew we would hardly ever be bored.

And p.s. I'm sorry if anyone thinks scratch tickets are bad... Yes, if you spend your whole paycheck on them and are constantly buying them it's probably not a good thing.  Or, if you're addicted to gambling or are a recovering addict than you probably shouldn't buy them either.  But, we do neither and are neither so I'm sure we'll be okay :)

Here's the 1st picture Joe & I ever took together a few days after this story.  It's horrible I know but oh well...
