Love is in the air...

June.. a romantic month for Umi & Baba, as we're celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. That's why i chose this title for this post.

This year's celebration is somewhat different from the past years'- no romantic gifts/ cards/ getaways/ candle-lit dinners. It was more about being together as a family- reflecting on our life together for the past 7 years & sharing our hopes & visions for the future. It was simpler yet touched our hearts deeply.

We spent the weekend with our kids- taking them for a morning walk at Putrajaya's Taman Botani (Putrajaya has become our regular 'Going Green' weekend hang out spot lately). It feels great when we are able to concentrate on them only, instead of staring at the displays in the window at shopping malls, seeing them play, laugh & let-loose once in a while. Then it was breakfast time at McD's (they chose it).

The next day, we had lunch @ Secret Recipe (they also chose this!) where they can have whatever their hearts' desire- ice cream obviously, while Umi was ravishing through her chocolate brownie with vanilla icecream & chocolate sauce! Yummy!!!

On our anniversary day itself, Baba & I both took leave from work & spent time together in KL (kids.. told you that shopping malls are for Umi & Baba only). Breakfast @ Bangi Kopitiam, then headed for Ikea & The Curve. Watched Pirates of the Caribbean (awesome!), had our 'romantic lunch' - meatballs & chicken wings- at Ikea, shopped for a few things (i never go home empty handed from Ikea) and headed home just before 5pm.

burrrppp...

It may seem like a normal weekend, but it was all the conversations & reflections that took place that day, that made the difference. I think this is actually how i'd prefer to spend our anniversaries. It brings more meaning & takes the relationship to a greater level.

Love is definitely in the air.
