Finding a husband wrap up

After that amazing kiss on the dancefloor we continued dancing, shared a few more kisses, and then eventually it was time to head back to the hotel. On the walk to the taxi Andrew reached out to hold my hand... I couldn't believe how it made me feel. I am far past the getting nervous at the idea of a guy holding my hand stage but having my hand in his felt magical and made me giddy. The rest of the night we tried to fall asleep but neither of us wanted to stop talking to the other. Eventually the alcohol and lack of sleep got to me and I passed out.

Sara (the birthday girl) had planned on going to a drive thru safari the next day on the way back up to Palm Bay. I had already told everyone that I was not going to go so that I could get back to my poor, sick baby (and rest!). However, my plans changed in the morning when I didn't want to say goodbye to Andrew just yet. It turns out that he and Tiffany had driven down from Palm Bay, where they both also live, and were planning on going through the safari as well. We made a plan to drive separately up to the exit for the safari and then pile in my car since it had 4 doors.

The idea of driving my car through a safari was a bit intense - what if all those commercials with the rhinos ramming the cars are true! Also, not everyone got a very good view because, if you have dogs you understand that the windows aren't always as clean as they could be :). Once we finished the animal portion - without a scratch on my car! - we decided to park and walk around the shop area a bit. I couldn't get enough of Andrew and even felt myself getting giddy and shy and wanted him to reach over and grab my hand. I felt like I was 12 again with a crush on the cute boy in class. We decided to get something to eat and shared our first funnel cake :).

Tummies satisfied we headed back to the car. I dropped Tiffany and Andrew off at her car so they could head back and instantly regretted not suggesting we switch passengers. Oh well. We made plans to see each other later that night since I hadn't planned to be back in Palm Bay for awhile. He took me to a local ice cream shop and we sat in his car talking and eating our ice cream.... until 2am. At which point his car battery had died and he had to call his friend to come jump start it!

The rest, as they say, is history!
