braving New Worlds ...

August 2007

Chris' Point of View:

After we returned from our incredible Boston trip, Nat and I had no idea what to do with the situation we had fallen into. Do we fight or forget? Do we hope for the future, or do we allow prospect to go unrealized.

Not only did we stay on the train waiting to see what was around the bend, but charged forward, moving that 'Loco'motive down the rails. I remember thinking how crazy it was, and how if it was any other girl, I wouldn't have bothered. However, with reservations aside, we eagerly made plans for Nat to come to Salt Lake City and see where fate would take us.


I had a a great time. Movies, hiking, Ice Cream, more ice cream. Nat was everything I remembered and I knew that this new world that we were exploring was worth the risk.

THE boston trip was great, didn't expect it to be a trip that i can never forget. =)


there were questions, worries, fears, thoughts all intertwined together. some of them were answered the very moment that i stepped on the plane to slc, that first time visiting chris.
hmmm, my very first (and only) long distance relationship. ... honestly, i was unsure what to expect or to hope for, wondering if i'm making a mistake.

finally, i arrived to slc airport, ...

what do i do? what do i say? do i walk - or do i run away?

no doubt, chris's smile is one of his charms that draw my attention, literally. hehe. the strong beliefs that we both share, the hardcore music interest pleasure we take part in, and an obsession about star wars. really, am i being punk'd?

the trip not only to visit chris, but also meeting the folks.
result? first try - TKO! =)
the van wagoners are all so amazing - sweet, beloved, affectionate, i had an incredible time with them.

zero ground. the visit had cleared my head and has extinct all the ridiculous fears that i once had. a very meaningful first date. <3
