today, five years ago...

joel picked me up from my parents house, and we drove to classical millenium on burnside. we bought a recording by the rachmaninov trio, and popped it in the cd player of his blue honda.

we headed to quizno's, and had to sit in the parking lot for 20 minutes finishing the piano trio in d minor - it was that good! (incidentally, the first gift i ever gave joel was a recording of the d minor piano trio.)

we shared a chicken carbonara, and drove across the river to a park in vancouver. we walked along the river, hopped on logs, talked, watched the city lights on the water ...

and then he proposed, and i said yes.

yeah - the shirt has aged worse than joel has (he's got a couple more smile lines and that's about it). i've changed a bit more - that's the difference between 17 and 22!
