A year's worth of a woman (Pt. 2)

So, to finish up my posting about the anniversary of Katie and I starting to date, I'm gonna write about that last part of Thursday night.

I had a second surprise in store for her after surprising her with a few roses in her apartment. I tried to look around for small objects that would represent events in our dating relationship that stood out in my mind. I couldn't find that many objects that would relate to events, but I did manage to find a witch that represents a certain woman in both of our lives, but that's the only object I could find. I also got a little memo pad and wrote down all the good memories I could think of, the good events we'd been to, and the things that make me smile when I think about her (cheesy, I know). Anyways, I wrote all those down on little memo sheets and put them in a little box... I call it a memory box, she can call it whatever she wants. The memories went in there with the witch. As time goes on, if she wants to save ticket stubs, score cards for putt putt, pamphlets for events... she'll have a place to keep them all. I also made sure to give her extra memo sheets. So whenever she wants to recall a memory, she can write it down and stuff it in that box. Later, she'll be able to pull it out and reminisce about how she was feeling.

I would try to give her a blog, but she doesn't want one. That's basically the whole reason behind me having a blog. I can keep a record of what's going on with me, like a journal, and to keep myself interested, and keep anyone else who might read interested, I post other items I find on the web. Since I couldn't get something like that done, I thought of this as my way of keeping track of the memories that we have/will make together.

Oh, and later that night we went to the bus stop diner here in ruston. It's a new restaurant that opened in the old GreyHound bus station. It was the first day it was open, so service was slow, and the waitresses were extremely nervous. The food was good though, so we'll have to give them another few weeks before we make another trip over there. Oh, and a last comment about that place... the food is kinda expensive. It was 4.75 or so for a malt, if I recall correctly. I dunno what malt is, but someone somewhere is making a fortune off the stuff, I imagine.
