Birthday in Polaroids
by Amanda on June 24, 2010
Thank you so much for all the beautiful birthday wishes yesterday. I feel truly blessed to receive all the kind love that I did. You touched my heart in ways you’ll never know.
The Canadian took me out for a beautiful day after making me breakfast and spoiling me with presents. We were super lucky to have the warmest day we’ve had here yet and did lots of walking all over the city. From Kits to Denman, into Yaletown and down Robson, ending the night at a restaurant overlooking English Bay, it was a perfect day spent with my love.
I of course took my Polaroid with me and wanted a special picture of us on my first ever summer birthday in Canada. He did an awesome job, don’t you think? I love you, sweetie! Seeing as the Pola chopped his head off, we retook it with the digital but this is a Polaroid birthday spread so you’re getting this one instead.
My boy was very clever and got me some lovely pressies but I was most impressed with one in particular. About a month ago we were in his favourite record store, Zulu, talking about vinyl and he mentioned that I had no U2 vinyl here. I told him that I only ever really wanted the 12 inch version of New Years Day. It’s over 20 years old and after all my years of collecting U2 memorabilia, I’d never found it. Clever boy that he is, remembered what I said and got it for me for my birthday. :)
Thanks again lovelies!
