We were driving down to Santa Cruz for a day trip, and on the way we found a nice little pie shop. I had left my wallet in the car, so I took his keys, got my wallet, and we walked out happily with a delicious pie. I went to offer him back his keys, but instead, he went running to the passenger's seat. Mind you, his car is a stick, and I had no intention of learning at that moment. Then in a stroke of genius, I kept walking towards the passenger's seat, sat in his lap, and opened up the pie.
Ok for one, his face was priceless (you could tell he wasn't expecting it) and two, something about the moment was priceless in general. Here we were, on a bright sunny day feeding each other pie and laughing. And I just kept thinking "This is perfect".
In its own little way it was romantic, I knew he was thinking the same thing I was, but neither of us needed to say it. And that itself, is a beautiful thing.
This one is a lot shorter, I PROMISE!
We came back to his house to find his mother (and here I am, showing my age, yes, we're young) watching the ending of the notebook. Near the end, the elderly couple starts dancing to an old record. Brennen smile at the TV, looked at me, and offered his hand. So, in the middle of his living room, unbeknownst to his mother, we danced.
....brilliant date, just absolutely brilliant. I could drool away and type off all the wonderful little things that happened, but that would be a waste of time for the readers, am I right? We all have those moments.
And now, the exciting part! HE WANTS TO GO CAMPING! YES! So, part two of Operation Vacation from Summer Vacation is in effect!
...in two weeks.
Family reunions ruin all the fun, don't they? Oh well, more time to plan!! And also it's a good test for how we'll handle being away from each other when I leave in August, a sort of preview of what's to come.
That's it for now! I'm off to soak up the pre-forth summer sun
