Date with Thomas tonight.
Enjoying as many dates as possible
Having as many thoughtful, memorable conversations as possible
Immersing in the depths of how we are so similar, as much as possible
Before this beautiful person
Steps out on their own
At the end of this school year. ❤️❤️❤️

November 2014 Thomas n Camilla Date! Begins with a date night! Lillian is having a sleep over with The Romano Duo. Got our date night off to a start with a trip to the grocery store for nacho ingredients. Then a trip to the barber for Thomas and next a quick stop at the library. Then home for our yummy nacho dinner!
Part 2 of the Thomas n Camilla November 2014 date night … Had a ball in the non-fiction section at the library! Spirit Lands is amazing! Gave me chills and my eyes filled with sweat! Thomas felt the same. What a beautiful experience for our date night! Take a look through some of the Native American proverbs included in this visual, musical and magical journey!

Another beautiful, awesome, magical day! This time I get to go on a date with the fairy princess that I get to call my daughter … Lillian Paige!
First and second stop on the November Date Day for Lillian and Camilla …. Lillian has a french fry obsession, so we tried some we’ve never had before. YUM! Had a car picnic at Audrey Harris Park and then a quick stop down below to Bartley Ranch. Beautiful view for a car picnic!
Last stop on the L & C date day …. Window shopping! One of my least favorite things to do with my time (unless it’s books)! Yet, for Lillian, I will choose to enjoy myself …. and take pictures!

I had the best date tonight! Thomas leaves tomorrow for two and a half weeks, visiting friends in Philadelphia (and hopefully connecting with our C18 friends, Mike & Cierra!)
Thomas made me laugh so hard. Especially when they said I’m not like any of their friend’s parents, and that I’m normal. What? I’m normal. Thomas says they mean I’m a normal human. We had such rich conversation tonight. I plan on doing as much of this as possible before they leave for college next summer.
We went to Royce for burgers. I had the portobello burger. So good. Then stopped for ice cream at Icecycle Creamery for Thomas.
Ending with a stop at Aubry Harris Park, talking about the many years of memories here and Bartley Ranch. Car picnics while enjoying the view, scavenger hunts, and walks. My heart bursts with joy that we had all of these experiences together.

Yeeeehawwwww Y’all!!! Look at the handsome man I get to spend all weekend with … Get him all to myself! Lillian is spending the weekend with The Romano Duo so Team Member T & C can have a date weekend!!!
December 15 2012:
Mr. T and I are about to head out on our date. We’re making a a couple of HappY Messages to randomly leave somewhere. Thomas says, “The people who find these messages will make their own messages and spread to someone else and pretty soon the whole World will be sharing happY messages.” Right on Team Member T, Right on!!
**********
First stop on our date day … Frozen yogurt for lunch!!! YUM!!!
Got stuff to make his sister and his Mama a Christmas gift … One excited young man!!
Next stop, book shopping!!! One of this Team’s most favorite things!! We love books!!
Last stop on the BIG date!! More books!!! Yep!
Movie Date Night with me and Team Member T …. Just LOVE this movie … Now Thomas is writing a song called “Peace with You and Me” which he says will change the future … He says he has so many ideas he might need a folder to hold all of them … I think you may be right Thomas …
Spreading HappYness Day #15 (Part 1) – Thomas and I had a date day while Lillian is spending time with The Romano Duo. Mr. T made a HappY message to deliver while we were out on our date. He left it on someone’s windshield. He asked, “What if someone throws it away?” I told him we can’t control what people do with kindness after we share it with them and we shouldn’t let that keep us from being kind. Frozen yogurt for lunch, craft store for some inexpensive gifts that he can make, used book store, library and a movie, Scrooge – A Christmas Story. Now Thomas is writing a song called “Peace with You and Me” which he says will change the future.
