Part Twelve – Attuned Together
So as you probably have figured out, there is no special breakfast place and we’re not going to the aquarium. I’m writing this the night before although I’ve prepared what I’m going to say from the earliest moments of our relationship. And all that I can say is how much I love you. You are [...]
Part Eleven | Birthday Celebrations
Date: January 12th, 2025 Location: Santa Ana, California - Segerstrom Center for the Arts So what are the high-steaks you ask? Well her birthday was on January 13th and I really wanted to do something special. So she loves plays but I ended up booking an orchestra performance for us. It was a beautiful performance.. [...]
Part Ten | A Walk to Remember
Date: January 1st, 2025 Location: Redlands, California As you probably have already guessed, yes, we did another paint night.

Part Nine | Another Grand Escape and a Christmas Eve Shellebration
Date: December 24th, 2024 Location: The Escape Game, Rancho Cucamonga, California This is the second time we went to an escape room together.

Part Six | A Night full of Color
Date: December 9th, 2024 Location: Purple Easel | Ontario, California This was a night full of color and I'm not just talking about the paintings. So this one gets a bit dramatic (or at least I think it does). I had planned for us to do a paint night together as one of our dates [...]
Part Five | Wicked Scenes
Date: December 8th, 2024 Location: Harkins Theater, Redlands, California An aside: You may have figured it out by now but the ending of the part often gives a spoiler or hint as to what is coming next. So, I'm not a huge musical fan or even really go to the movies at all but something [...]
Part Four | The Tour
Date: November 30th, 2024 Location: Loma Linda, California This was, what some may call the first "date". I had asked her to show me around Loma Linda for a program that I was thinking of applying to. I couldn't really think of any other excuse to see her but I figured that was the best [...]
