Alexa and I were introduced by our family. Her mom and my cousin work together and they each spoke to each other about us all the time. They then decided to set us up on Facebook to be friends. I still remember the first time I friend requested Alexa and how nervous I was about it. After she accepted my friend request, I wrote her a message and waited for a response. She responded after a few minutes and I was super excited. I felt butterflies in my stomach and I did not know what else to say. I tried to make conversation as best as possible but after a while of short messages, it just felt right and I was able to gather up the courage to ask her for her phone number. We kept texting each other and I knew I wanted to meet her but I did not know how to make it happen. I asked her out for a brunch date and she agreed to meet me at Canyon Creek. I was super nervous and excited! My best friend Benito and his girlfriend Maegan, could tell I was nervous so they offered to come a long to sort of break the ice. We were sitting at Canyon creek waiting for Alexa, and I remember the exact moment when she pulled up. I did not know what to do. I kept thinking, "should I stand up and go meet her, or should I wait for her to come inside?" I was literally dying from the nerves. When she got off her car, something inside of me told me this woman was something special. The whole day I tried to just make her laugh and not say anything dumb. It ended up being the perfect date for us. Benito and Maegan left after a couple of hours, and Alexa and I stayed out and just enjoyed each other's company. I loved just looking into her eyes and seeing her beautiful smile. The night was coming to an end but I knew I wanted that feeling I had with Alexa to never end. I wanted the night to go on forever and I needed to hang out with her again! -Eddie.
