This weekend I celebrated my one-year anniversary with
StephanieBCl.
Since we had a very long courtship, we’re not really sure when we
officially started dating (as opposed to just hanging out as friends),
so we picked this past weekend even if it’s technically a little
early (we didn't officially start dating 'til the end of last year). I had a magnificent time with her, and it was wonderful to be
able to spend a lot of time together just relaxing and being alone as
a couple.
StephanieBCl and I didn’t spend all weekend alone, however.
StephanieBCl wanted to start the weekend off with dinner and snuggle
time with our entire poly family, so Friday after work I picked up
IceSpark and we met
LilDomino,
HotaruGirl,
Pandara, and StephanieBCl
at an Indian restaurant for dinner. After dinner the six of us went
out for ice-cream, and then everyone went home and StephanieBCl and I
spent the night at her apartment. We’d planned to actually spend more
time snuggling as a group, but it turned out nice to just have the
evening alone.
Saturday morning StephanieBCl let me sleep in before I joined her
downstairs for cartoons. We watched Buster Keaton in
One Week and then went out for brunch at der Führer’s
Dufour’s, where we had insanely yummy grilled-cheese sandwiches. It
was getting late, so we put off the Children’s Museum until Sunday and
strolled around the Oldfields Lily House and Gardens instead. That
night we watched videos and read the first two chapters of Book Two of
Lost Girls. Yay story time! B)
Sunday StephanieBCl and I got out of bed earlier so we could make it
to the Children’s Museum with time to wander at our leisure. We
checked out the Barbie exhibit (StephanieBCl’s a collector), and then
meandered around, catching the very last carousel ride of the day. We
went to Perkins for dinner, and then went back to her house, where we
relaxed and I watched TV while she sewed a little bunny I’d bought her
at the museum.
StephanieBCl and I haven’t had many full weekends together, so the
leisurely pace of our “anniversary” was a delightful change. I don’t
know if I’ll spend every Father’s Day alone with her, but for this
year it was very nice. I had a horrible Monday, but I get to see
StephanieBCl again tonight, so I’m sure she can perform her usual
wonders with my mood. I’m so lucky to have such a sweet, sexy young
woman like StephanieBCl as my girlfriend!
