A HUGE TMB thank you to Occasionally Cake for sponsoring Rick and Andrea's date!

Going into today's date with Andrea in DC I wasn't sure what to expect.  We had a ton of fun on our first date and I wanted to make sure that there was chemistry between us.  Long distance is never easy, and it is even more difficult to determine whether or not there is chemistry on a 2nd date. 

Andrea and I met up after church with our Chef Sabrina in Washington DC, who owns a business called Occasionally Cakes. She was an awesome instructor and you could tell she put a lot of pride into everything she does including her cake business. It was really fun. We each picked one of the teams from the Superbowl to make a cake for. I chose the Packers because I am a fan of their quarterback Aaron Rogers. She by default was stuck with the Steelers. It was very fun and interesting to make the cakes especially after seeing the popular reality show with cake decorating these days. Immediately you could tell the difference in learning styles Andrea and I had. She was a more hands on experimental worker. I was a more “give me the exact instructions” kind of learner.

We finished our cakes and headed off to a Superbowl party with some church friends in DC. We had a contest to see whose cake was decorated better and let’s just say the home town favorite won. And as if the cakes weren’t good enough on the outside, they tasted amazing - there wasn't a piece left after the game.  I even enjoyed them and I am not big on sweets. We finished watching the game and then it was off to enjoy our nation’s capitol.

One thing that impresses me so much about Andrea is her job. I mean I think it is awesome that she works for a senator as a press secretary. As we walked around I was able to ask her questions I had always had about politicians and what they spend their time doing and how are they as people. She was able to give me a lot of good and interesting feedback. We walked around and it got really late. We had the place pretty much to ourselves, which is rare for the different monuments and memorials. Apparently people don’t visit the capitol during the superbowl.

There is so much I can write but if I had to sum up my night with Andrea in word it would be: Impressive. She is such a nice and cute girl and she has so much going for her at the same time. I can tell you this much if we go out on a third date she won’t have to ask, “why didn’t you kiss me?” again.

A big thank you to Dave Marble for filming this date and Joshua for editing!  For additional footage about Occasionally Cake and Rick and Andrea's feelings for eachother check out this video here.
