As Kali & Josh drove along the highway behind Mary & Al, their two boys at Grandma's for the weekend. Kali couldn't help but thing back on how she and Josh had met. It had all started as a blind date on New Years Eve… there was nothing outlandish about their quiet evening consisting of dinner and a movie, in fact this 90 minute drive out to Jasper was the longest they'd ever been alone together, they had only ever spent time with Mary and Al and sometimes at least the two boys if not they'd get Kali helping out with the kids basketball.
"Looks like it's gonna be a beautiful weekend" Josh looked over at Kali as she drove down the highway. Kali looked over and smiled at him, her long auburn hair blowing in the breeze from the slightly open window,
"Yeah, I'm hoping it's going to be nice and hot…"
all night long
she couldn't help but think to herself. "I can't wait to hit the Rapids again"
"It looks like it's going to be a bumpy weekend" Josh commented looking out the window as they started to approach the mountains.
"I'm hoping so…" Kali said softly.
Josh glanced over to her and smiled softly "So, I booked us a campsite next to Mary and Al so that they won't be kept up till the wee hours if we are"
and god do I ever hope that we are
Kali and Josh pulled into the campsite shortly after Mary and Al, the couples got their tents set up and as they sat around the fire at Al and Mary's, Al began to tease his cousin, " hey, Josh..So, is Kali your girlfriend? Why do you only have one tent? Are the two of you gonna get married?" Josh just smiled at his cousin as Mary smacked him and said,
"Al, behave… besides, you need to get ready, I hope the two of you don't mind being on your own tonight but we've been looking forward to a romantic evening for two so I've made us a reservation at the Jasper Inn for dinner." Kali smiled at her friend knowingly… she and Josh spent so little time without other people around that she and Mary had pre-arranged ways for them to find time alone.
