Last Night Was Fun: Part II

So, obviously, the last night I'm referring to was more than a few last nights ago. It seems that I am only slightly more talented at keeping up with this blog than I am at updating days on our relationship calendar.

Titanic. Yep. It was every tween and teens favorite movie back in the late 90s. Wow. Was it really released in 1997? You know you're getting old when you go to google the release date of the movie and you say to your mom "Was it really released way back then?" Shoot darnit.

Regardless of how ridiculously old I'm getting (26 next month, folks!) I was just as giddy about seeing Titanic this time as I was when I was 11. Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" still gets me and I belt it out like a really bad opera singer every time I'm fortunate enough to find it on the radio. Mark scored some major points when he pointed out several weeks ago that they were re-releasing it in 3D to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking. When he agreed to go see it with me I just about fell in love with him all over again.

After the film was over, of course typical me could not remember where the car was parked, so I'm looking around for it and Mark says "Well, just give me the keys." So I hand them over and he walks straight up to what I think is our car, but at the moment am not 100% sure, puts the key in the lock and lifts up the trunk.

The trunk is filled with recyclables. Yep. It's our car alright. We both laugh and Mark reaches into the back of the trunk. He pulls out a wine glass. Then another wine glass. Then a bottle of my favorite grape water. He pours us each a glass, making a very sweet and romantic toast to our relationship, and we sit on the trunk of the car for several minutes before leaving the theater and heading home.

When we do decide to head home, Mark gets out the iPod and begins to scroll around to find us some musical entertainment. I'm thinking Rush or Nickelback or Van Halen. Nope. "I downloaded this for you today," he said as Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" starts belting out through the speakers, followed by one of our favorites - Sam "Dooley" Wilson's  "As Time Goes By" from the motion picture Casablanca... a special memory we made together a few years back. 

You can bet I was singing the entire drive home.
