Day to Remember
I just had one of the most fabulous days ever! It was incredible and oh so fun. It started off kind of slow but it quickly picked up and turned out to be just wonderful. I woke up and drove home from Sam's place. I took a shower and got all cleaned up and ready for my day 'o' fun that I had planned. I did some dishes and hung out a little with my dad and Vamp. All was good. A little after noon, Brek called me and we got our plans situated. I drove to his place, which is a great drive by the way, it's oh so pretty. We didn't stay there very long and hopped into his car where he proceeded to drive us to Ft. Worth to go see the Modern Art Museum. Now this place was totally kick ass! I just recently have gotten more and more interested in art and have really gotten to like modern and abstract art. It's just so interesting to me! I love it! There were some extremely interesting works they had.
My top three favorites:
3. Olive Jar Falling - it's this little jar of olives that has fallen and the olives are spilling out all over. It's so realistic and just cute and fun! It's amazing how the artist got the olive juice to look so vivid and it was just awesome. Loved it.
2. The Ladder - There was this big wooden ladder that reached up above the second level. It was crooked and quirky and bent all funny. As it got closer to the top it got smaller and smaller, a kind of forced perspective. The moment I saw it, I loved it. I looked at Brek and he just smiled, he knew exactly what I was thinking; Jacob's Ladder. It was just an impressive piece of work. It was so kewl.
1. The Book with Wings - Simply seeing this made me gasp and stare in awe. I haven't seen anything so incredibly beautiful before! It's a large metal sculpture of an open book with two immense wings open on the ends of it. It literally took my breath away. It was absolutely gorgeous! I went and read the small plaque that briefly discusses the piece and just didn't agree. What it really stood for, is not what I saw it for. When I saw it, it made me think of the Bible and angel wings being born forth from it. I told Brek what I thought and he agreed. He saw and felt the same thing about it.
It's so kewl that Brek and I have the same thoughts about a lot of things. Some of the stuff they had in the museum did not belong and we would mock it and make jokes. There was also quite a bit of stuff that didn't have names and were untitled. So Brek and I decided to give them names. One painting in particular that we were looking at I immediately thought of faeries in a big field or something. At the same time I thought it looked very Cavemanesque. Therefore, Brek entitled the piece, "Caveman Faeries". Did you know that Caveman Faeries have camels? Then there was this painting that was mainly a brown/ochreish color with a half black square spiral painted at the top. Brek obviously didn't like this one very much and named it something along the lins of, "Brown Pooh Painting." I cracked up and laughing and couldn't stop. It was just so funny! Oh yeah, I had so much fun!
After we went through the Museum it was only 3, maybe not even 3. I figured we'd just go back to his place and hang out until it was time to go to Jayme's, take a nap or something. Brek had other plans in mind. He took me to the Japanese Water Garden at the Botanical Gardens. I had never been there before and had been wanting to see it so much! It made me so happy and it was simply stunning! All the plant life was gorgeous and the structures and gardens were perfect. Everything was so pretty. We walked through the pathways and looked at everything. We even fed the fish, walked on stones in the middle of the pond, and found trees with leaves that looked exactly like miniature pot leaves. It was just so hard though. He had to take me to one of the most romantic places in Ft. Worth, the place that I want to have my wedding at. There were a lot of couples holding hands and hugging and being cute and I couldn't touch Brek. I wanted him to hold me and kiss me so bad. We were getting along so well and everything about him is practically perfection. So close... oh so close. I still quite enjoyed the Gardens.
Brek was getting really hot and my back was beginning to hurt so we headed back to his place. He changed his clothes while I got directions from Jayme to her parents' house. Then we talked, just talking, nothing major. Then I couldn't stand it anymore and just blurted out, "Is this hard for you?" ... to which he replied, "Oh yes!" I was struggling so hard to not just pounce on him. Everything was fitting so wonderfully why couldn't it be right?! We both like each other and all that stuff. Why can't we just be together?! Argh! Anywho.. we just let each other know that we were dealing with having to restrain ourselves, but he assured me it would get easier. So we just continued to chat and talk. We somehow got onto the subject of food and man.. Brek is picky! He doesn't like vegetables. Now I don't mean he doesn't like them like there are some he just doesn't like, I'm talking, he hates practically every vegetable that God has ever created. The only ones I got him to admit that he liked were Corn (on the cob only, and not even if you cut if off the cob, has to be on the cob) and potatoes. **cough cough** Yeah.. wierd. Then we had some pizza and decided it was time to head to Jayme's.
We each took our own cars and we drove to my place. I let the dog out and showed Brek my home. To my surprise and enjoyment, my corset came in! Woo hoo!! Brek helped me put it on and it looks fabulous! It fits perfectly and man do I look hot in it. **evil grin** So then Brek and I ran to the store to pick up some marshmallows, I filled up my tank and I drove us to Jayme's parents' new house. So.. Jayme didn't give us very good directions and we got really lost. But it's ok. Jayme's mother, Carol, helped me out and we finally made it to the house. Their new house is amazing. It's all wood and they have these kick ass stoves and ovens. They are very modern, yet old fashioned. You just have to see them. I can't even describe how kewl they were. Brek about came out of his skin because he just loved the house. He said that it was the house of his dreams. He met my friends, Mike, Jayme, Vinny, Skinner, Lindsay, and Kevin. At first we all sat around and talked for a bit. It started to get dark and so the boys got the fire started. They couldn't get it to start at first. They used what I think is rolled up socks on sticks to try to get the embers to catch on the logs, then they piled up more and more branches with dead leaves. Before long the fire was high and roaring. I was a little worried for a moment that they were going to catch the trees on fire, but they didn't. The boys then tried to roast hot dogs. Mike was successful, Vinny and Skinner lost three to four to the fire. Brek and I searched for a really good stick. I found one and he gave it a whirl. He cooked us up some hotdogs over the fire. It was quite funny to watch the boys cooking hot dogs with such a massize blaze. They were all going in for about 30 seconds and then having to run away because it was so hot. By the way, what we learned today; "Fire is fucking hot!" We also roasted marshmallows, which are delicious! I have forgotten how yummy a charred marshmallow is. Despite their hotness and gooeyness, they are totally worth it! Yummers. We all just talked and sat around the fire. We gazed at the sky and just enjoyed each other's company. Vinny ... man i love him ... he is freaking hilarious! I laughed so much tonight, my cheeks still hurt. Brek and I got to talk and spent most of the evening just spending time together and listening to everybody else. He would rub my shoulders or place his hand on my back. There were so many times when I just wanted to kiss him and I knew he wanted to too. He played with my hair a lot and I caressed his arms and neck. Lots of flirting going on, but neither of us had the courage to take the next step. We both want to, but we know we can't. We still had so much fun. Oh it was a good evening.
It got late though and Brek has work and I have church early in the morning. So we said our goodbyes and headed back to my place. We talked for a short period of time, trying to say goodnight. We held each other for a little bit and told each other of our struggle. He said he wanted to bite me all night, which would have been wonderful, and I said he was making it so difficult on me, what with taking me to one of the most romantic places in all of ft. worth. It really sucks when you want something so bad but you just can't have it. We're going dancing tomorrow night at the Church. So, I'll see him again. It'll be fun. I'm so glad to have him as my friend.
