Nathan

Date number two! Germanfest with Nathan! We had a great time, eating brats and German potato salad, playing 'Head or Tails' to benefit the school, listening to the polka music, scoping out the jewelry and silent auction, and enjoying the perfect weather.

Nathan grew up in Lawrence and is from a very large family. He currently lives in Emporia where he works as a speech therapist in a local school. He likes his job because he gets the summers off and is able to travel and see his family. Nathan has a great sense of humor and we quickly fell into a joking pattern with each other. He's funny and picks up on things talked about earlier. It's always nice when someone is listening. He even remember the name of my childhood best friend who lives in Topeka.

We ran into some people I know, one of them also named Nathan, and we spent a little bit of time talking with them. I bought a Germfest t-shirt while Nathan bought a light-up braided headband for his niece. Or so he says; I think he might want it for himself. At the end of the night we walked up and down Seward Ave, the main drag in Oakland, and talked about the buildings and counted the 7Up signs. We ended the night, perfectly, with ice cream cones.
