Jade went on her first date October 24, 2008. We must document this moment! We all know that Jade's list of potential dates runs up to about 25. She would jump at the chance to go on a date with any of them. The boys on her list can consider it a compliment to be in her top 25. Each name represents a young man that has the same standards & morals as Jade.
Mr. "K" came out of the blue. He had never been listed on Jade's top picks. She saw him the Wednesday before at a choir concert at her high school where he had a guitar and vocal solo. That was enough to put him #1 on her list that night. Her friend Abby is in a class with him and the next day at lunch Abby introduced Jade and Mr."K". He called that night and asked Jade out! She indicated that she needed to double date so Mr. "K" set Jade's friend Abby up with a friend of his. Jade also told him that her PARENTS needed to meet him before the date. His response... " I would be happy to meet your parents, do you want to bring them to my work tonight?" Mr. "K" works at a deli near our house. Friday finally came...Jade was so nervous & excited. Mark tried not to drill him too hard when we met...just a few questions.
1. Do you go to seminary?
2. What was your favorite talk from conference?
3. How much money do you have saved for your mission?
We didn't want to embarrass Jade so we only asked a few questions( Ha! he didn't really ask those questions) and no pictures.
Mr. "K" took Jade miniature golfing, Arby's and back to our house for hot chocolate & donuts by the fire in our back yard. Mark and tried to not spy...we heard lots of laughing and other sounds as Mr. "K" impersonated Scooby Doo! The date ended by 11:00pm...good time.

Oh boy...makes me nervous just thinking about that whole situation! Did Mark really ask him questions at the deli?!?! I can't imagine him being very stern. Sounds like a good date...next time it may not be so easy to keep watch...:)
crazy to remeber back to our dating years, not that long a go but how exciting it is. Way to go Jade on a great date with a great kid. Hard to believe she is old enough.
Oh I can't wait to tell Dave! Jade can expect a call from him.
i dont' think your dad was that hard on you danette.....was he???? glad she had a good time...sounds like a good first date!! and really .....you spied???
I just laughed out loud when I read about "Drilling Jade's Date" before hand. I'm not sure you remember some of our situations. But think about it and I know you'll so understand NOW. Glad she had a fun and safe 1st date.
