How We Fell!

I'm going to tell you a little love story. One day, many moons ago, there was a young girl just celebrating her 27th birthday. She was very active in her church's hip and happenin' singles group. On Labor Day the group decided to go on a hike in the local mountains. The group was large and there were a few new faces tagging along on this extremely hot day. One of those new faces was a "too skinny" blonde boy. The boy and girl made absolutely no impact on each other that day. The girl was even heard on a video camera saying "come on, guy" when he was taking his time to jump off a cliff into a pool of water. They did not walk away from that hike even knowing each others names.
As both were very active in the singles group they saw each other often at bible studies and get togethers. Slowly, they started talking and forming a friendship. The girl may have used her massage skills to woo the boy. It may have worked! A lot! Boy likes massages!
The boy invited the girl to his company Christmas party for their first date. The girl used all her spa resources to gussy up extra special. Her spa friends were so excited for her they offered to do her hair and make-up for free. They went to the company dinner, ate yummy food and had an over-all good time. But...it ended too soon. So they drove out to the mountains, found a look-out (that's where you pull off the road to over look the dessert below) and sat there talking for 3 more hours. The boy did not hug or kiss the girl good night.
The next few weeks they talked often on the phone, had dinner one night and finally even went to the movies. During this time the girl kept waiting for the boy to make a move. The night of the movie, which was 3 days before Christmas, the girl had all but given up. She thought for sure he would take her hand during the movie. She made her hand VERY available. On the drive home the girl silently decided to give up. She had convinced herself the boy just wanted to be friends.
Finally, they arrived at the girls home. Boy walked the sweet frustrated girl to the door. He came in. It was freezing so he offered to help warm girl up. Lo and behold, while sitting on the couch, after midnight, boy finally declared himself to girl. She was quite happy. They even had their first kiss.
Boy does not know how close he came to losing it all that night. Boy does not get free massages anymore!
And they lived happily...yada yada yada!
