We’ve got all the dates!  With the help of John’s blog, our combined memories, and some bank statements from last year (lame, I know) we’ve pieced together the early progression of our relationship!  I’m excited to have it all pinned down, so many months later.  Good thing one of us was writing stuff down!  I’ll have to go home and check my handwritten journal for stuff, since pre-John and Erin was also pre-blog.  It’s funny how some things don’t seem to matter, and others do.  I’m not sure why, all of a sudden, I had an urgent need to remember our important dates.  In a lot of ways, it still feels like last week.  When I picture how John and I used to walk around campus, me in my gold coat, him in his black jacket, just getting used to holding hands, it seems like it just happened.  Then there were all our dates, a very bad movie, a trip to DI, a religion  symposium, hikes up Rock Canyon and Sundance and trips to Borders…we really made stuff up as we went along.  I remember one night we got some Zupas and went up to some mountain overlook, I still can never remember the name…then when we got back I was talking to my friend Becca and she asked what we had done.  I told her where we went, Squaw Peak maybe?  And she said, “Oh Erin!  You are so naive!”  Haha.  It was funny.   What was REALLY funny was that we really just ate some salads up there.  Sure we laughed at the people in the cars next to us, but I could spend hours just driving and talking with John.  Squaw Peak or no Squaw Peak.  So, now, we are married.  And I hope we never ever get sick of driving and talking and going to Borders (went there last night).  So anyway!  Just had to share the news that we NOW have ALL of the important dates on hand
