Caitlin turned 16 in January. I almost arranged for her to go out on a group date just to get it over with as she was excited about the fact that she was old enough to now go. However, it never quite came together. Several times she would say, I just want my first date to be special.
In our ward is a wonderful family, the Sealey's. We like them very much. They have 7 children. Their oldest is at BYU and their next oldest is a senior at Caitlins school. Caitlin is very good friends with their next child Sarah. She has always admired Justice (senior boy) but Justice usually was spoken for with always plenty of invitations to any and all social occasions the school or ward provided. Today, he called her up and said he wanted to ask her out to the "El Cheapo" dance this weekend at Dixie High but had heard a rumor that she wasn't going to be around for it. She confirmed this and told him about going to California house hunting. So he then asked her if she would like to get together sometime the following week to do something together? Ummmm she said YES!!!!! They are going to double with Lauren and her friend but Justice said he wanted to surprise Caitlin with what they are doing so she won't know until they go out. Needless to say we had to peel her off the ceiling she is flying so high to tuck her into bed. As she said, nothing else has to come out of this, but what a perfect "first date"! I agree!
