Once the door bell rang my heart started pounding. Finally after 13 days of talking through text messaging I was going to meet him. I opened the door to a tall dark and handsome man standing there smiling. That night started everything. It was a cold winter night on December 12, 2009 and we were heading out on our first date. The plan was to go sledding with a group of Shawn's friends but first we were going to meet at someones house. We didn't end up going sledding but instead made ginger bread houses and watched Will Ferrel's "Elf". It was a night of nerves, giggles, and fun.
That date is our first Sloan tradition. We decided as soon as we got engaged that on the year mark of our first date we would relive it. Even though it was just us two instead of the original people we did it with, we had a blast. We actually bought a ginger bread house kit instead of doing graham crackers and frosting. Even though we had the kit we still had a heck of a time trying to get the walls to stand straight up and the candy to stay on the house. Our house turned out perfect regardless of the drooping frosting and the lack of candy actually on the walls. While watching the movie and making our house Shawn said to me, "We are making some fun family traditions."
Its exciting to start family traditions all by your self and I absolutely can't wait until we make more Sloan traditions.
