Hello everyone! Weird and I are still alive despite the fact that we haven't made a sound on this thread in almost 2 months! This isn't really a flats post since I didn't have Weird and Ninja with me when we went out, but I wanted to document the day anyway!
Christmas has never been my favorite holiday. Though the reason for Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ, is extremely important, I don't like how materialistic it is. Thanksgiving is really my favorite holiday because food with good friends and family warms my heart.
That's why when Weird and I talked about whether or not we'd get Christmas gifts for each other I gave an interesting Christmas list. I said that I only wanted 1 of 3 things: an engagement ring, a trip to WDW, or sushi. Hehe, yes, I said those things even though I knew I'd get the sushi. An e-ring wouldn't make sense now because neither of us are really at the stage that we can be engaged (in terms of our life stages, not in terms of where we are in our relationship). A trip to WDW wouldn't be possible or realistic either because of the financial aspect and also for the sheer fact that our schedules just don't line up. I was absolutely fine with the sushi, hehe, because I only have it with Weird.
The Saturday before Christmas, we hung out at my house. Then we went out to dinner at Outback and that was my Christmas gift to him. Yum. Food.
Then we didn't see each other on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day since I'm with the two sides of my family. So we didn't have a chance to see each other again until Saturday and Sunday.
Yesterday I went over his house after church because my parents had other familial obligations. I was all excited for sushi because I was craving. Well, we get to his place and he gives me the first part of my Christmas gift. Because yes, he actually did get me gifts even though dinner was supposed to be it!
What was it? It was part of one of my requests! Instead of a trip to WDW, he got me The Magic Kingdom Game! Ahhh!!! How cool is this?
That alone got me super excited. We didn't have a chance to play the game yet, but we definitely will! I was examining the game board so much (even at home today too!). All the rides and the buildings I recognize. And then they have the 3-D buildings to make it even more realistic! Ahhh, Magic Kingdom is my all-time favorite Disney park so it was just perfect!
But what do you know? That wasn't it. Remember what the other thing I wanted besides WDW and sushi? An engagement ring! So maybe it wasn't quite an engagement ring
... instead it was this! It's so exciting to open up a box that says Disney Fine Jewelry on the outside! Ahhh!
I had found this ring online on QVC when I was searching for Disney jewelry. I had linked it to Weird along with other things just because we always share Disney things with each other (haha, like I already have things picked out for our bathroom and kitchen and whatnot - like a tea kettle with a Mickey head on the cover). Anyway, he apparently bought it right away but didn't know when to give it to me. Christmas was perfect!
I absolutely LOVED it. You can't see it, but there are tiny hidden Mickeys all around it! And there's a tiny inscription on the inside that says, "Dreams do come true." A little bit of Disney every single day!
Of course, our day wasn't over yet. We made a quick stop at Target because I wanted to get more notecards from the dollar spot to write thank you cards to my students for their Christmas gifts. We also stopped by the DVD section and Weird got season 4 of The Office for $17. So score! Haha, of course, it kind of stinks how he only spent $12 more than I did and he'd have way more fun (although, of course, I get to watch it too since I didn't finish that season and technically it's partially mine when we get married!).
After that, we were starved and we made our way over to get sushi! I was so excited! We were ready to devour a ton of food. Yummy.
We ordered an appetizer called spicy mix. It was a bunch of assorted raw fish with this really yummy sauce in it. I can't reallly have spicy but he said it wasn't that bad. It was a little spicier than expected, but it was so tasty. I just kept on drinking that tea. Haha, of course, I had a little dumb moment and I was like, "Are these noodles?" when it was really bits of crab. Haha. I said a couple of silly things that day. I guess I was just so giddy.
Then we had 5 rolls .... 2 california rolls, a sake roll (spicy salmon, avocado wrapped with salmon and smelt roe on top), a shrimp tempura roll, and dragon roll (eel and cucumber wrapped with avocado and smelt roe on top). Oh dear, just thinking about it now makes me crave.
Oh man. I was such a happy girl. My guy. My guy just knows the things to make me happy. Although I absolutely love the things he got me, it really is the thought behind it that I love. He did what he could in being creative to get the 3 out of 3.
And the thing is, we're not all fun and games. I had actually gotten upset with him the night before because of something he had said online that just came out wrong (one of the bad things about internet communication). We talked about it earlier in the day, and by the end of the day, all was well again. He pointed out that he liked that we could have those moments when we can be grouchy with each other but through it all, we still do love each other.
I do. I really do love you, Weird. And I can't wait to marry you.
i want the mk game!
(at Jacob's suggestion). He did send her back to first aid on his next turn though.
