A cold night in February five years ago I went out to dinner with my friends Christie and Dan. Earlier that day Joel had left a message on my phone. For some reason I was really nervous about calling him back and wanted to put it off. Christie and Dan were very excited that he had called me and they refused to go into the restaurant until I called him back. (A little known fact is that Dan had actually sung with Joel in Districts and Regionals in high school). Luckily, Joel was working so I just left a message on his phone and we went in to eat. Later that night Joel called me back- Christie and Dan got out of the car and stood out in the cold, so that I could talk to him. Joel asked me out on our first date and the rest is history.
Well, Christie and Dan are heading through Ohio on their way to the ACDA Conference in Chicago next week, and we're so excited to see them! I finished the quilt for Christie just in time. It was supposed to be a birthday present, then a Christmas present, and I even tried to work it in with Valentine's Day, but I was going to be really upset with myself if I didn't finish it before she got here next week, so I was thrilled to finish it this morning. It's a little thank you for giving me that extra push to go out with Joel.
