After a little more than a week of hanging out with our friends, Cale asked me out with a cute letter and package of "Razzles" candy. I had wanted something "really adventurous" for our first date. So, Cale and I jumped in his old Grand Am, got gas station coffee, and spent a day driving 3 hours to Gooseberry Falls. We walked around, hiked, climbed rocks we probably shouldn't have, and of course, found the perfect tree to carve our initials into. We picnicked by that tree by Lake Superior. It was truly the best date ever. Cale even jumped in the freezing lake! We drove down the road to a famous little pie shop for dessert, then headed back to Northwestern. I knew that day if Cale could handle a total of 6 hours in the car with me, he must have been pretty darn great, and he really is.
