What were likely the 1st things you thought when you saw your significant other for the first time?
1. the first time? Well, I was two or three months old, so likely that he was blurry.
2. the first time I remember? I was 13 and thought he was goofy but fun to have at parties, I guess.
3. the first time I noticed him? He'd just cut his hair to get ready for his mission and showed up to a costume party in Roman armor: "I've known him for six years--how did I not know he was that hot?!?"

What were likely the 1st things you thought when you saw your significant other for the first time?
She’s cute but kinda shy. The first time I thought I might like her was when I found out that she had woken up at 3 am to bake brownies for a snack after a hike we were going on with our classmates. The problem was that the oven in her apartment was too big for the cookie sheet, so she had to bake half of it with the oven open and then turn it around for the second half. She's goofy like that.

Germany for spring break during college with my dad. We rented a car and drove everywhere.

Awesome! I love it! This gives me such a glow that I got 4 responses back. I wasn't sure how often Jess or Richard visited, so I feel so blessed right now.
And Jess, you only missed the R's (Leberwurst) but Germans don't pronounce them anyway so it's all good.
