Oh Love

So since this month is almost over, and it is love month I thought i'd end it off with a love story. Precious, I know!!

I still remember the day that Brad told me he loved me. Mostly because I was waiting SOOOOOO long for him to tell me. I knew that I loved him when I went out to Palm Springs for Thanksgiving and I met his whole family for the first time. I never did tell him, because that is the guys job. So for Christmas when Brad came out to surprise me it finally happened. We were sitting on my parents new couch in front of the fire place, cuddling of course. He started saying Lace... and then paused for like 5 minutes, and finally said it! Ooh it was the best feeling in the world! I guess he originally actually wanted to wait until New Years, but luckily he didn't.

Our First Date

As I was looking through my old posts, I noticed that I never officially blogged about our first date. So I hope you don't mind taking a trip down memory lane with me.

Brad and I went on our first date September 12th 2008, he picked me up and we went and picked up some golf balls at a sporting goods store. We chose hot pink so we could see them, since we were going to hit them off the sand into the ocean. What Brad didn't realize was that I can't quite see at night.. it was still fun. Brad was pretty impressed by my golfing skills. Or so he says.

After that, we decided to go eat. We both wanted to try something new, and I had an idea of where I wanted to eat. So we start driving down PCH, Garlic Joe's comes up. Lets eat there, I love garlic (also I knew that once we both ate garlic I would for sure not want to kiss him.) We got an amazing dinner, also I tried Albacore.. really?? I don't even think I knew what it was, but I wanted to impress him. So i just swallowed it down!

While we were driving home Brad asked me if i still wanted to hang out or go home, of course I still wanted to hang out so we went back to his place. We talked till 2am, which is a huge deal for me because I'm out by 10pm!! Luckily my plan worked, we did not kiss on the first date!! Oh, but I sure did want to! The rest is history.

The end!

S-E-V-E-N

Seven Months my friends! Wow has time flown!!! And we have grown so much, I think I just rhymed! The past seven months have definitely been the best months of my life! Here is why.

- I never thought I could love someone so much.

- I still get butterflies when we kiss.

- He can always find a way to cheer me up or make me laugh.

- Living with a guy is so much easier than girls, especially when he's your best friend.

- Valentines Day is so much better when your married, in more ways than one. ;)

- No matter what, I always have someone by my side. My favorite, waking up.

- Hearing compliments from Brad will never get old.

- When I get discouraged, I always have someone to vent to, or cry to. Even when he forces it out.

- Being a team, 2 is always better than 1. Go Team Arave!!!!

- On topic of last name, I really dislike pronouncing it. People look at me like I'm crazy.

Valentines Day!

So Valentines this year was so wonderful, we celebrated Friday. We both got off early, and Brad had a few surprises/rounds he had planned.

Round 1, we went and saw Valentines Day - we had to do this in the day time, since I tend to fall asleep easily during movies. The movie was so cute, I was super emotional or something so I cried of course!

Round 2, we went to one of our favorite places to eat. Pacific Whey, down in Crystal Cove which is where we went Last year. On our way there we drove down PCH and watched the sunset. We usually both get breakfast food, but we got dinner food this time.

Round 3, we drove home, and made chocolate covered strawberries, my FAVORITE!

It was a wonderful day, Brad made me so happy!

Pictures to come (I took them with my new Holga Camera)!
