RAIN

it's pouring this morning.

seems like the bucket up there was holding up pretty well yesterday to allow us all the comfort of finally walking the streets without worries of getting wet.

at least for a day.

early monday morning, the boyfriend and i exchanged gifts.

he had been eyeing cuff links for as long as we've been together and i love seeing him in his ET shirts.

(i call them the ET shirts because the cuffs are monogramed with his initials. =))

i hate having to settle for mediocrity...even when it came to cufflinks.

so while i couldn't find absolutely perfect ones, i guess the simplicity of the pair i got him came quite close.

he gave me a card, which had me tearing as i read it. and then he read it out to me.

"when i fell in love with you. then you fell in love with me. then we fell in love together."

i didn't quite get what that meant, until he read it out and slowed it down for me.

that's another thing i'm thankful for.

my mind works in bullet train-seconds so sometimes i just can't see micro enough.

and then he gave me a pair of somethings, which i've had on since that morning.

we spent the whole of yesterday together.

with friends, with family (and too much chocolate in the refridge).

the company made everything that much more perfect.

big fuzzy hugs to you guys who made it to CBTL for brunch on monday.

the word i can best use to describe the morning was 'colorful'. =)

colorful characters in a cosy setting.

colorful conversation.

colorful outfits.

colorful smiles.

all in all, a beautiful, laughter-filled, colorful morning.

thanks to our resident paparazzi photog for his shots (which should be in circulation once he actually gets some sleep).

thank you for the wonder and magic you've brought to my life.

the coming weekend and next will be yet another adventure, i'm sure.
