Before we started dating, my DB was my last CFI for my PPL! So we spent 5 months doing long cross-countries sitting about two inches apart in a tiny little Cessna 150! ("You know, I don't really need more time--but I think I do need a little more practice...!"

)
We finally couldn't stand being just great friends--and our first "date" was participating in a Dragonboat race together at the request of a mutual friend who needed two more last-minute crew-members for his team. Needless to say, our team won gold in both amateur categories--and my DB won his first kiss!
BTW, the emoticon list has been quite a source of amusement over the past few minutes! Yes, I am bored-- but the little dude hiding behind the couch? The chick pulling hair out of her head? The popcorn? The bouncy Santa frog? TOO funny!
