Food, Gondola, and Charles Barkley.

I know you probably read the title and thought wow, now I'm hooked. Thank you, thank you.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret...I recently went on the BEST date of my entire existence. I know that seems like dramatic overkill but whatever. In honor of me getting to experience 'Lindsey's BEST date ever' I'm going to now explain it in my favorite format; bullet point.

A bit of a scene set-up. Thursday. Around 6pm-ish. Me and the Boyfriend are texting.

Boyfriend (via text): Okay cool so movie is at 9:45, wanna get dinner before, say 7:30?

Linds: Ummm..I don't know, are you asking me out via text message? :)

Boyfriend promptly calls. :)

Friday night:

• Went to my new favorite store, Fresh 'N Easy and picked up ingredients.
• The boyfriend made me some of my favorite foods, including bruschetta.
• He tells me he has a surprise before dinner.
• Tells me it's good I'm wearing a coat, I might need it.
• Plays French opera music as a clue on the way in the car.
• Still totally confused.
• We get to a resort in Scottsdale and ride a Gondola!!
• The Gondola driver turns out to be LDS and his singing voice is beautiful.
• Head over to the new luxury movie theater in Scottsdale called IPIC.
• While waiting in the lobby, we see our friend who's in charge of marketing.
• We run into Charles Barkley.
• Wow, ummmm ok!!
• See The Green Hornet in lounge chairs.
• Free drinks and desserts thanks to our friend.
• Movie was great.
• Boyfriend was great.
• Date was my favorite :)

Who knows, this could be topped someday. Whenever anyone asked my best date story, you know what I would tell them? Hasn't happened yet. Whew! Glad it finally happened :)
