Yesterday was me and Brennen's "Two Months". We didn't really celebrate because it's not much of a landmark date (like a year of something) but we did go out to dinner. When driving back to his house, we noticed the most beautiful sunset. He turns to me and says "Hey, let's go to this beach here". It was some sort of Seal resting ground, with signs of warning spaced around the parking area. We walked down a flight of worn down wooden stairs to an outlook over the water. The patio had the most amazing view of the sky, a gradient of reds and molten golds. We stared off into the distance for a while, enjoying the beauty and each other's company. Brennen then asked me to sit up on the railing, and I obliged. He then pulled out a piece of wood. It was rounded, like a plaque, with a burnt carving of a tree. Underneath the tree it said May our love grow forever.
First thing I thought? "OMG, SO FRIGGEN CUTE!!!"
Then he shows me the back, where it says Barbara, I Love You. Brennen
DOUBLE CUTE!
Now, he's finishing it up with a coat of varnish so I can keep it forever! Also, the wood probably wouldn't do too well in the humid Floridian air. But I'm SO excited!! Sentimental gifts make me swoon...
And on top of that... the ominous text from Brennen about his parents? Pshh, nothing! Just another conversation about us getting married in the future. I guess his father was mad that Brennen didn't ask him permission to think about marrying me.
Um.... What? To THINK about it?
We have been dating for two months? Has everyone forgotten that??
Of course, I love talking to Brennen about our future, but we're not going into the planning stage anytime soon.... I would like to have some college under my belt first!I guess his Dad is just seeing a little too far in the future
But that's okay... I'm too lovesick from the adorable-ness of his gift to even think about worrying silly fathers.
I don't need expensive things... a piece of wood with a sentimental note is just fine for me.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
But the greatest gift of all? Not the gift itself, but him. That he can right something like that... that we're together.
A wonderful love
