get better, sweetie

nicole is home sick with a killer cold that has lasted for almost a week. i am in albuquerque teaching for the week. go figure. i hate that helpless feeling that you want to try and do something to help, but can't be there. so i know my honey bunny will be checking this blog in a few hours ('cause she usually does), so i'm gonna give her a wee surprise.
r. j. & nicole at denver art museum first kiss
this photograph was taken on our first *real* date at the denver art museum a few years ago. it is also the site of our first kiss... which happened about 2 minutes after this photo was snapped. and it was like the BEST KISS, EVER (ps - forgive the hat and red shoes, but a guy has to do what a guy has to do that drives a pt cruiser with purple flames! hindsight is always better than foresight, especially with respect to r.j.'s cool fashion taste).
