August is full of celebrations: my birthday - which as I grow older and wiser holds
less meaning than it did in my adolescence - and our wedding anniversary - which
excites me to date because it's the day Manjot and I officiated our union. The main
prerequisite, like many other days of celebrations, is a day full of Manjot, irrespective
of whether there's a scheduled date night planned or not (in case you, my husband, are
reading this, you better have a date scheduled regardless. I apologize for my mood ;)).
This year, my birthday was a bit different as it was amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In
August, the Provincial Health Guidelines had allowed for indoor dining and the rules
surrounding the lockdown were a bit relaxed. We hadn't visited downtown for a few
months, at least since the initial lockdown news of COVID-19, which in BC was in
approximately March 2020. So, Manjot and I decided to take advantage of the relaxed
rules coupled with beautiful weather and decided on an early evening drive and dinner
date by the beach Downtown. And, it was all stunning.
We made a quick stop (Manjot would most probably say otherwise) to capture some
outfit photos. I think this marks a few years since I have opted for either an all-white
outfit or at least one prominent piece (top or bottom) in white. The top arrived just
in time for my birthday. I quickly unwrapped it to try it on & instantly fell in love with
the sweetheart neckline & the puffed sleeves. Manjot also approved so it had to be worn.
We were very happy with the quick photoshoot and how the pictures turned out. What
followed was a sunset dinner at English Bay and a walk around the beach. So many
blessings to count and so much to be thankful for. Feeling thankful, grateful & blessed!
I hope you're also keeping well and taking the time to stop and smell the roses. The
pandemic is a tough time so it's important we continue keeping our mental health in
check and don't think twice to seek help and guidance should we need it.
Love,
M.S.G.
