One Fine Valentine (With A Dash Of HNT)

43 days

it had been 43 days since the last time i had kissed those lips
smoochies
and let me tell you, it felt like forever ago.


We needed this trip, we needed it badly.

Wednesday the 13th
this was the day that Hella was supposed to arrive. now i say supposed to because in theory she was supposed to arrive at LAX at 8:45 pm.

but a bunch of "dick farts" at Pearson Airport thought it would be a good idea to delay Hella's flight by Four Hours.

the poor thing was so exhausted, and understandably so, by the time we got home she had been up for 24 hours!

needless to say she needed some serious snuggleing

Thrusday the 14th, VALENTINE'S DAY!
our much needed sleep was callously interupted by repeated early morning phone calls.
here's something i don't get, if a someone hasn't seen his girlfriend in two months and it's Valentine's Day Morning, why the hell would you call?

yeesh...

Our morning started out with smooches, snuggles, and the final day of The VD Treamtment
The 14 Day VD Treatment

Thursday, February 14th– being Valentines Day, it’s only fair that you post a tandem HNT picture. Show off your love. After that, make with the Snu-snu

For This HNT Project i came up with many saucy ideas for a tandem HNT post, but waking up with hella, i realized there was one moement i had to imortalize...
morning snuggle
Waking up with her in my arms

After a groggy awakening we exhanged presents and had a much needed shower
mirror hearts

I made Hella a full blown breakfast:
make'n breakfast
apple slices with peanut butter
waffles
eggs
tea
and of course, cranberry juice
Cranberry

After a fine breakfast it was off to get our asses fisted!

allow me to explain... we went out to meet up with my friend Tracy who is a massage therapist. Now the thing about Tracy is this, she's tiny, but mighty. so when she works on your back she doesn't just give you a "fluff and buff", she works you. she throws in elbows, forearms, and fists. and when she's working her way down your back and hits your glutes she attacks with fists a fly'n! (she's damn good)

After being massaged into a drunk'en stuper, we headed out to a little english pub for some pretzels and hummace (yeah, i had never heard of this combination either) where i learned A) don't doubt hella's ability to spot parking spots, and b) sometimes beer tastes like bannanas.

the rest of our Valentine's Day was very simple, we we home and relaxed, watching movies, lazing about. later on that night we stopped by my parents house and exchanged a few Valentine's presents with the parents.

though there was one final stop before bed time, a mad dash to the Cheesecake Factory! the girl loves Cheesecake, and I love the girl. there's no way i was going to let Valentine's Day get by without a trip there

Friday the 15th
Sight Seeing!

Today was the the day that Hella hit hollywood.

Even for a friday, the drive took forever.

We took the 405 all the way up to Mullholland then drove over the crest of the Hollywood Hills.
the beauty of the hills of beverly
if you look real close you can see houses that are worth more than i'll make in my lifetime

but needless to say it was a beautiful day to see some sights
couple on the cliffs

for this portion of the trip i'll just throw out some pics (a picture is worth a thousand words, and i'm tired of typing, hehehe)

so random


Kat's Place
There it is, Hella's Mecca, home of Kat Von D

The Gates Of Hella
(she took a ton of pics of the stars, but i didn't upload them)


in front of the theater there are all kinds of "wacky" charactors prancing about for you to take pictures with
hands off jack!
Now this i find funny.
Here's Jack Sparrow attempting to steal the necklace that my parents bought Hella for Valentines day. note how she pulled a gun on him.


jack steals a kiss
yet as soon as he kissed her hand that gun dropped real quick, hehehe
(busted again?)


The award goes to...
Oscars are heavy!
(turns out the ones we posed with are the ones they'll acctually give away at the oscars, neat!)

While on top of the building looking for a good spot to see the sign we found these giant stone elephants
the 2nd biggest thing she had in her hand that trip
(it's the 2nd biggest thing she's held in her hand all weekend)


then it was off to a fancy Hollywood Resturaunt
macdonalds hollywood style
dollar menu, ahoy!

After that, it was back home, well, there was a stop off at the parent's house for wine and hot tubb'n!


Saturday the 16th
This was Hella's shopping day
we cruised the Lake Elsinore Outlet Mall

Durring a call to her monkey i picked Hella a single yellow flower. she smiled that smile at me and i realized that for her this is full spring, while winter was still waiting for her back home.

So i had to capture her in spring time
pose'n with poppy's

the orange flowers you see behind her are California Poppies
the hill side

of course, i had to join in!
poppy to see you

(here is a close up of the poppies)

That night...Party time!
boo!

It was my cousin's husband's b-day party and we joined in the drinking fun

Hella and my mom
Here's Hella and my mom dancing and carring on drunk.
(btw, look at how tiny my mom is, even Hella is bigger than her!)

hella was enjoying the Hurricains, and the they were enjoying her...

the Tequila on the other hand...
uh oh
The Tequila, it was a bad idea, and we left shortly there after

but not before Hella said bye to my dad
Hella & My Dad
here is the conversation that preceded that shot:
Hella- we're going to be taking off
Dad- *looking at her* you're drunk aren't you?
hella- No...
Dad- *smiles*
Hella- *giggles* ok, just a little
From there hella droped down catching her self as she squated next to my dad... i had to snap the pic

Sunday the 17th
Poor little Hella was a bit hung over

Luckily a trip to IHOP took care of that!


I got a regular breakfast...
wanna know what hella got?


we spent the rest of the day chill-lax'n and went out to dinner with the rents.



with all my dad's free time he's taken to making sushi as a hobby, and he's damn good at it.

on our way home we decided to make an imprompt tu icecream run

being our last night, we stayed up kinda late, ya' know...

by the time it was bed time Hella passed out.

So sleepy, she forgot to take the towel off her head and the glasses off her face
sleeping hellasleeping hella2
even asleep, she's so beautiful

Monday the 18th
*Pout*
I made her the last breakfast of the trip as she packed up all her goodies.

and she did all her packing in one of my hoodies!
hella hoodie

I dropped her off at the airport and waited till her flight took off. (there was a big snowstorm in toronto and i didn't want her stranded in LAX all by her lonesome).


*sigh*
the hardest part is letting go. we kiss our good byes in the hustle of the airport, but we can always take solace in knowing that a part of us always stays with the other...

even if it is in the form of hair on my shower wall
love hair

even now, as we sit three thousand miles apart, we are still together

I love you hella and i can't wait for our next trip
*muah*

  • You are very sweet and considerate. A great quality in a guy!
    I had no idea you live in California. Looks like I went to a lot of the same places you did (see my LA posts)
    Too bad about Hella's delay, that must of been frustrating.(didn't know she was from TO either)

    When we drove to Mulluand drive, I didn't know there was a lookout or at least I couldn't find it.
    I'm planning a trip to San Fransisco in a couple of months.Can't get enough of California
    Great Post.
    Very Sweet couple!
    Happy HNT!

  • I see all the fun, and the romance. YOu're both quite lucky.

    And it's a good thing you're dating, cause, honestly Exile, spelling out "I love you" i her hair in your shower just has stalker written ALL over it. But since you're dating, its' okay. :)

    HUGS...
