Hey did I ever tell you about my best earth hour ever?
I was last year. Kirsten+Johnny hosted this awesome do up on Mt Washington. They skied, Noah and I snowshoed. We all stayed in this awesome cabin that Kirsten+Johnny rented. It was the best! With all the gaudy decor on the pine log walls and bronze fixtures... and the bar! It was great, their dog Boris was there and he was so sweet. We only had three CDs to listen to while we cooked and partied, but no matter.
I cooked an awesome vegan meal for the crowd, including Jeff, Kirsten's mom's partner, who brought a couple bottles of wine which we downed while playing board games by candle-light during earth hour. It was so hard to explain the game to him, which is strange considering he was about to retire from a job which required him to use nouns and adjectives all day long. The candles burned low and I could see almost nothing, but I knew everyone was smiling.
It is one of my best memories to date.
The next day Noah and I had to leave the mountain so we could prepare for our road trip holiday to Death Valley, CA. It took all of us to clear the snow and de-ice our car... Despite all that, we arrived safe and sound back at home - the basement of my Nana's house, the location of Noah and I's wedding just some months before - that evening. Like the shift-worker I am, I woke up at 5 the next morning. I checked my phone like the tech-slave I am and found the most memorable text of my life. I picture of a tremendous diamond ring on the very bar I reveled at the very day before. I knew the significance instantly.
My Kirsten. Getting married.
Mere words can't describe my elation about this memory. It'll be with me til I die. It's flashbulb. It's one of my fondest memories yet.
