He had planned to take me to a drive-in!!! I was so excited because I've never been to a drive in and always wanted to go. I love movies, I love cuddling, and I love being with Chris so I always imagined the drive in to be a perfect date! So we packed up blankets, pillows, some speakers to make the radio louder, snacks, and drinks. We drove about 40 minutes North of us to Killeen. We were racing the sun because as soon as it goes down, the movie starts. The great thing about the drive-in is that you actually get two movies for the one entry price. We got there with sun to spare, got the car all set up with our cushy blankets, and settled in for Baby Mama and Iron Man.
It was totally campy fun and romantic all at the same time! I was a perfect evening where it was cool and breezy. We were cuddling under the stars feeding each other yummy snacks when it hit me.....this blissful moment included something else dear to my heart for a different set of reasons. We were in the RS.
For those who are long time readers of our letters and blog know all about our Rust Spot - the '91 white Acura RS that my husband never gives up on. Without re-hashing all the fine memories of our beloved RS, just know that to put it lovingly this beater has been know to be the bane of my existence and part of some of our not-so-fine newly wed memories.
So, can you imagine my horror in the realization that my perfect birthday moment, at the birthday drive-in, with the birthday snacks, and birthday cuddling included the RS in all it's glory? I feel like the RS is much like Dwight on The Office. 99.9% of the time he's annoying and worth making fun of. But every once in awhile there's a redeeming moment where you are almost relieved that it's not one more painful moment in the life of Dwight...or in our case RS. I guess in the birthday goodness, this was one of those redeeming moments for RS.
I love you RS. I love that the drive-in was all I'd hoped for and more. I love Baby Mama. I love Chris.
I LOVE 28!!!!!!!!!!!!!
