creative date
Institute is sponsoring a creative date contest right now, and Ryann and I decided to participate. We borrowed part of our date idea from her sister, who decorated t-shirts with her boyfriend about a month ago. I figured we would decorated shirts then wear them on a picnic to the lake (kayaking of course). The plan was for me to arrive at 9:00 and then we would go to the craft store and buy shirts and supplys, we would then have 1-2 hours to make the shirts and 2 hours for kayaking and eating.
The first problem was that I got going late and needed gas, so I did not get to Ryann's until 9:30. We then went to Michael's and got shirts (hers is pink mine is teal), fabric markers, stencils, and paint. We then returned to Ryann's and got set up. She had decided to do everything with paint and stencil and I was doing everything freehand with markers except a hearts shadow. Mine would say "My (heart shaped shadow) is missing" and then on the back "Ryann stole it!" hers would read "my boyfriend knows how to disney kiss." Once we had started we realized two things. It takes longer to decorated shirts than we had thought, and the paint is supposed to dry 24 hour and then be ironed before you wear it.
We decided we would go just a little longer than the original plan and then go to the lake in "regular" clothes. I was able to finish my shirt, but Ryann could only do one side of hers because it had to dry some before she could flip it over. We cleaned up most of our mess (we left some things out because Ryann wanted to work on her shirt after lunch), and then Ryann changed for the lake.
By the time we were in the car it was about 12:40. I told Ryann that time was a little tight for kayaking since loading and everything else could take a while, so we agreed we would kayak another day and just do a picnic on the bluffs. It is a very pretty spot with a good view of the lake and temple. I had made bread and a sundried tomato shmear and packed some salami and smoked provolone. I had also made a sweet apricot orange bread. Everything tasted good but the "sandwich bread" was a bit dry, and the cheese very soft. Ryann commented that she wonders if we got married if she would ever get to cook, since I almost always cook when we eat together. We did one of the questions from her "questions for couples" book about how many kids and when. This is something we had talked about before and I had said that I felt these choices were really hers since she had to carry the baby for nine months and would have more responsibility for a baby. She told me she wanted to know what I wanted in an ideal world and so I told her. I want at least two kids with no real upward limit, I think it is good and important to have them sooner rather than later and that the closer together they could be the better. She told me that these were all things she felt as well. We then talked about baby names we liked, and after a while we packed up.
I took Ryann home and kissed her good bye, and then I left.
