We love to tell people we met at the airport because that is WHERE we met for the first time.

Alex was a in Las Vegas, and the night before she was supposed to come home, her ride bailed on her. So what would any sensible person do? Call one of her 7 siblings or any of her family members living in KC to come get her? NO! Not Alex. She told this random guy she had been talking to on Hinge for a little over a week that she no longer had a ride home. So what did this sensible stranger do? Tell her good luck finding a ride? Suggest an Uber or Taxi? NOPE! Not Steven. When he heard Alex needed a ride home the next day, he offered to pick her up after he had worked the night before, slept for a couple hours, and went and got her.

As I walked out of the old KCI, I was standing outside. Not knowing what color or kind of car I was looking for. I was on the phone with Steven, staying put while he was taking his laps around the Southwest terminal. Once he finally found my green suitcase, he pulled over. Steps out this hunk of a guy with a weird smirk, a big smile, and a huge bear hug. We got into the car and headed out to our first date... which lasted several hours. A drive around town. Lunch at Charleston's off Stateline. As we sat there eating chicken fingers, we joked that we needed to take a photo for our Hinge success story! Then another drive the zoo.. that was closed by the time we arrived (we have a habit of showing up to places that are not open). And finally a trip to Oak Park Mall, which I think Steven used as an excuse to hold my hand. All that to say, neither one of us wanted the date to end.

Still my favorite Uber ride. ;)
