I compelled to do a proper post about the weekend Sarah and I had — but everything I’ve written down doesn’t seem to do it justice. Instead, I’m just going to borrow from my gal’s playbook and do a stream of consciousness type list of some of my favorite memories from our weekend together…

• Walking into A New Hue¹ to find my girl rocking the red hair.
• Bringing Sarah home to meet my folks.
• Three Words: Raspberry almond cake.
• Having beers at Rob and Lisey‘s place.
• Heading back to my parent’s place for breakfast burritos.
• Getting a nod and a thumbs up from my mom as we left my folks’ house.
• Going to the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium.
• Jellies!
• Being told, “You know, I’d really have no problem moving here to be with you.”
• Snacking on appetizers at Mao’s.
• Wading into the ocean barefoot at Venice Beach² while holding hands.
• Talking about marriage and kids with neither Sarah or I freaking out.
• Distracting a pack of zombie seagulls with kettle corn to make a daring escape.
• Fatburger!
• Getting to play with a MacBook.
• Being given a personal check for “services rendered”.

I’m sure that a lot of this makes no sense when it’s disembodied and taken out of the context of our weekend, but I sort of don’t care… It means a whole bunch to Sarah and I — and that’s really all that matters to me right now.

What can I say? That girl is my universe, yo.
