Glamorous old-fashioned style

So, our blind date began on Thursday, September 13, 2007 - a Thursday night - I rushed home from work changed in 20 minutes and ran out the door to meet Andrew at Vintner Grill. I was more excited than nervous because I was SO ready for a change and after having just gotten out of a really traumatic relationship, it was time for someone new.
So, I walked in the door and immediately noticed him standing at the bar by himself. We had a couple of drinks and then, things were going so well that we ended up having dinner together too.
The scene:
The thing about our conversation that stands out is when the server presented our bread options, and Andrew declined, he went into a lengthy explanation about his celiac disease. It still makes me laugh, because I could tell how uncomfortable he was explaining his bread issues. Andrew says the thing that stuck out to him, was that he was impressed with my maturity (I was 25 - he was 35) and my work ethic (my work-a-holic nature still gets the best of me).
After that - Vintner Grill became our "go-to" and Jose, the bartender, became our favorite. It's still my favorite place - I just wish we had something similiar up here in Swell-Vue. I love thinking about that day beause it was so special and so perfect. I am also incredibly grateful and lucky to have a husband that likes to celebrate the little moments in our relationship and he remembers the exact dates and places they occurred. I am one lucky gal!
