mika & rebecca: engaged

Thursday, February 14th, 2013

i know these two are spending today, a day to celebrate love, apart. so as my gift to them, here’s a little reminder of a day they were together. keeping each other warm, making each other laugh, reminiscing about first dates…a good day.

i loved rebecca’s story of how on their second date, he picked her up in what she determined to be a “junker” car and wondered why someone with a steady job couldn’t afford a more reliable vehicle. it was only after a few months of dating that she began to notice all the stares and compliments that “junker” car got and realized it was actually what one might call a “classic”.

love day

Wednesday, February 15th, 2012

as i get older, i feel like i’m becoming more flexible, but sometimes the reality is quite the opposite. thankfully last night, as our plan was turned on its head and the evening had the potential to leave me wallowing, i just said “no. let’s pump up this blood sugar of mine and go where the wind takes us”.

and that we did. from a stop for coffee and chocolate to a walk along the river in fort langley and a stone cold steve austin spotting. there was a trip to the toy store to buy jojo’s best friend a birthday gift (we were strictly instructed as to what she would want. yes, i said she) and left the sea of pink baffled by the mini skirt wearing “i wanna be a doctor” barbie. once my blood sugar started to dip again, we headed to the most romantic international dining destination. a place that also conveniently sells cork trivets, which we bought to replace the ones at my mom’s that now bear the distinct teeth marks of our youngest. we considered a movie but when we discovered our only option would be a horror starring harry potter, we went for the win and washed down old people pills with a peanut butter chocolate shake while looking into our future which was sitting two booths away.
