Double Dating.

Last thursday Moy and I went on a double date with Victor and Melissa, Victor is one of Moy's friends and they just had a baby (Ian), we had a great time! they're really nice and fun, we went to red robin and then played phase 10 at their place. We've never been on a double date before, but we liked it a lot, it's always nice making new friends! I hope we'll start doing it more often! :)

Ps. That means you Lacey and Tyler. :)

An Evening to Myself

I’ve been working a lot for the past couple of weeks, so I was excited to know that I was going to have the labor day weekend to relax, I had no plans at all (weird for me) So Saturday morning I woke up late and spend the morning with my beautiful husband, however I knew that 5 would come, and it did, he kissed me goodbye and left for work, and there I was, all alone with no plans, so I decided to go somewhere instead of spending my evening watching TV, but where? Where could I go where I could be myself without thinking too much about the fact that I was alone? Where could I found my three favorite things? (Books, music & coffee) Borders! So I left without doing my hair or makeup, just wearing my favorite jeans, a pink top and flip-flops. I got there still feeling funny that there was no one waiting for me and no one was coming, I walked straight to the coffee shop and ordered my usual, I almost left when I noticed that there was only the one little table available (I was hoping to get a couch) but then I noticed that almost everyone there was doing exactly what I was planning on doing, drinking coffee and reading without a care in the world, so I got my coffee and sat down, I pulled my book (Breaking Dawn) out of my purse and started reading, I was suddenly in a forest somewhere in Washington running at inhuman speed, hunting and falling in love again with each character, admiring the human mind and wishing it had been me who came up with such a magical story, when I looked up to stretched I noticed that a guy was setting up all of his music equipment right there in front of me, I smiled, I was drinking my favorite coffee, reading my new favorite book in one of my favorite places and now there was live music. Nice. That moment right there felt… well, perfect, I was COMPLETELY myself, and it felt so good since I don’t always am just me (too critical of myself), it was like a cool breeze in a hot summer’s day, like a sunset on the beach. It didn’t matter that my hair was a mess, that I was alone (in case you haven’t noticed I hate being alone in public places) or how many calories there were in my coffee, that moment was exactly who I am, and I was loving it. I kept reading, and as I flipped through the pages I wished I had a notebook with me, someone once said that anyone who reads will at some point write (something like that) and it applies to me perfectly, “next time” I thought, I finally decided to get up and take a look around, I walked around the book store debating on what was I reading next, now that I was almost done with the Twilight saga, and then I thought of reading it all over again, I left Borders with a wide smile on my face, I took a deep breath once I was outside enjoying what will probably be one of the last summer evenings this year, and then I noticed that I was listening to one of my favorite things, jazz music, I followed the sound instinctively until I saw three guys playing right outside of a gallery, this was too much, too perfect. I sat down and just listened for a while then I stood up and decided to take a look (again) at those shoes that I’ve been wanting for the last 2 months, when I entered the store I almost laugh at the big sign that read “All shoes 75% off “ was that a joke? So like most annoying costumers I had to ask, and it turned out that the sign was right (go figure), I asked the lady for my size “lucky” she said “that’s the only size we got left.” (I promise I’m not making it up) I tried them on and feeling a little guilty I said “I’ll take them” She smiled at me, and right when I was handing her my card, I heard HIS voice, the voice I live for, whispering to me, “I Love You” He said, in the sweetest way and then my smile grew wider, I knew this night was too much of a coincidence, it was a gift… to me, I didn’t disserve it off course, but He loves me… He loves me. Like this whole year He reminded me of the small things that make me who I am, unique just like He created me, and I realized I was never alone to begin with, “Thank you” was all I could say. And just like that my perfect evening came to an end and I drove home with a huge smile on my face, not because the weather was perfect, the coffee was delicious, the book was amazing or because my new shoes were fabulous, but because it was all a gift for me, because He loves me. He loves you too. :)
