brightbluegirlSo we chose the second one, for those who are curious. Although I agree that #1 is the better picture, we like #2 because it's still a good picture, AND it gives a real feeling of togetherness and partnership, all the while being different from the norm.
So yeah. #2.
We went for a delightful walk last night, as those walks always are. We were out for longer than normal - 90 minutes. I love those walks. Not the least because dusk is such a wonderful time.
We always seem to have such wonderful discussions. Last night involved soul searching, memories, monkey trees, plans, and fun.
It's so easy to love when you get to have moments like those.
Before we went out, we had a lovely romantic dinner. Clove incense, candles, crepes made with garlic scapes and spinach, and peppermint chai. Most lovely.
Afterwards, we booked our camping site for after the ceremony. We go up there on Saturday the 24th, and come back on Tuesday the 27th. We decided to go to Manning Park - the Lightning Lake campground.
That reminds me - I need to call the car rental place and find out what the price difference is between renting for two four day weekends in a row, and renting for a week and a half.
Last night, as we were getting ready to go out, I asked Andrew quite seriously if he'd be embarrased to be seen with me.
All day (well, since about 4pm, once I actually changed out of my pjs), I'd been wearing my new soft long purple dress (bought from the thrift store, with a basket, a cute kittycat toy, and a little mask to put on the wall, all for $3.21). Since we were going for a walk, I put on my running shoes, and then topped it all off with my black hoodie.
I felt as if I looked like an idiot, while he was so cute in his black combat pants, grey shirt, and new shoes.
And he said to me "Lisa, when will you understand that I really, really, really don't care about appearance, or what other people think?"
And I kinda got all quiet. I mean, I've known people who SAY that, but don't mean it... and on several levels, I do know that Andrew is really really real about that, and so much farther along than I....
But for some reason, it actually hit home last night. I'm so glad. I don't know why it was different last night, but...
yeah.
So yeah. #2.
