6 months to the day

Today marks six months to the day that Carly and I had our first date.

To celebrate, on Saturday eve just passed, we had ourselves a casual dinner at Birches restaurant — located at Mt Mee, the scenery on the drive there was wonderful, the scenery there was wonderful; quaint, nostalgic though not too rustic — and the food was good to boot! We both had an excellent time; capping the evening off by watching Mulan, as part of our recent effort to relive childhood memories through classic Disney films. Not particularly romantic some might say, but what’s not romantic about snuggling up to each other and watching an all-time favourite movie that we both enjoy? After all, being romantic is about sharing each others company.

The day after, we were headed for the beach. Bribie Island surf side beach, to be exact. With my brother, Brett, his girlfriend Kate, Carly, and our mutual friend Annie and Jamie (and of course myself); in part it was because unfortunately Carly could not make it to next weekends friendly Christmas gathering, so we opted instead to have her open her from-friends prezzies a little early, likewise her gifts to Kate and Annie! Everyone was thoroughly delighted with their gifts, and we had ourselves a not-so-healthy deep fried fish & chip lunch to celebrate. Hey, that’s what we do in this country, alright?

After that, we headed down to the beach for a few hours, where we all mucked around kicking wahu balls, building sand walls to stop the inevitable tide, and running around madly acting like morons. It was great fun!
