Dating - `Jon and Annette First Date

Annette and I first met when we were in high school. She and I both had minor roles in the school musical (Showboat) the year I was a senior. Annette was a freshman. This was in March of 1986.

We flirted a lot with each other behind the sets. I really liked her; however, she was only 15 and therefore not old enough to date. So I did not ask her out. I danced with her a couple of times at the school/church dances that spring.

I graduated from high school and went to BYU the following fall. Then I went on a mission to Munich Germany. When I came home in January 1989, Annette was now a senior in high school.

The week after I came home, I went to Pizza Hut with my family. Annette worked there and waited on our table. I thought she was cuter than before my mission. So I asked her on a date.

She accepted my invitation. It was my first date after my mission.

We went to my house and watched a movie with my family. I really enjoyed the date and felt then that Annette was the "one" for me.

Not our first date, but close to the date we got engaged
(likely October 1989)
