Shayla - Date #22: Samurai*

Name*: Samurai

Date Description: For this date, Samurai and I flew to San Diego for a nice long walk on the beach. We built sand castles and jumped in the giant waves. Then we had a picnic on the beach and laid down and listened to the waves crash against the rocks. What a great way to end the dating race. Okay...I lied. But we did IMAGINE we did that!

This is the only date in the race that I have made a meal for someone! But, being Sunday, it seemed a suitable date. This morning I made one of my family's favorite breakfasts, breakfast tacos. Samurai came and helped me polish off the pan and we had a great talk.

Best Quality: Samurai always has something nice to say. He's one of those guys who thinks a nice thing and says it. I think too many people withhold their compliments.

Highlight of Date: I loved that we sat and talked about our scars! I didn't realize until this morning how much I had been hurt as a child--and I have all the scars to prove it!

What I Admired: Samurai is every girls dream! Without even thinking about it, he stood up and did the dishes. Then as he was leaving the house he took our trash with him. Sometimes, as a joke, I have ASKED guys that come over if they would take out our trash and they never will...but Samurai just does it because that's what comes natural to him. What a great guy!

How do you know the person you're on a date with? He's in my ward!

Describe the date in one word? Nostalgic

Thanks Samurai! For the long walk on the beach.
