Fishing and Food Poisoning

33 Days! There are only 33 days left until the wedding!!!! Can you tell I'm excited? 

Anyway, on May 25 it will 1 year since Kyle asked my dad if he could officially date/court me. Unfortunately, because it's only 6 days before the wedding, we figured we wouldn't have time to properly celebrate that milestone. Instead, we decided to celebrate our 11 month-iversary. 

I had suggested that we go fishing because Kyle loves to fish and I haven't gone since I was about 7 years old. I used to ADORE fishing with my Grandpa so I was totally pumped about getting to go! 

I'm pretty sure Kyle thought I was kidding; what girl would want to go fishing for a date night? But, thankfully, his mom convinced him that I actually wanted to fish. Besides it being super fun, it's a great way to spend time with each other very cheaply! (I am a money-saver!) 

He picked me up after work, took me out to dinner, and then said he had a surprise for me. 

The weather and the sunset was beautiful as we headed out. 

I was pretty sure he wasn't going to take me fishing because he wouldn't tell me what was going on... 

But sure enough, he pulled out some fishing poles! 

After a short hike, we found the pond. 

I totally out-fished Kyle. I got 3 bites; he got 2. I got a giant bass; he got small ones. 

Woot woot! 

When we go on our honeymoon, he's going to teach my to fly-fish and fillet my own fish. 

How fun is that going to be?? 

When we stopped getting bites, he built a fire and warmed up the beignets that Emma had so generously made for us. Yum! 

Afterwards, we looked at the stars for a bit and then made our way back to the truck. It definitely ranks up there as one of our most fun dates! 

Unfortunately... we got food poisoning from dinner. One second we were watching a movie, and the next Kyle is rushing to the backyard to vomit while I lay . It was pretty bad. Luckily, food poisoning doesn't last very long; the worst part is that we only got about 4 hours of sleep. 

Even though it didn't end like we thought, it was still awesome. I love getting to spend time with him and do what he loves to do! Hopefully, I didn't embarrass him too much with my fishing technique. 

Thank you for being so awesome, Kyle! I love you! 

33 DAYS!
