For our two month anniversary we decided to go swimming, the icy water simply not withstanding any protest from the warm sun and hot bike ride down towards the river. Far from dissuaded, the water remained stubbornly cold, and we where forced to spend most of our splashing and wandering about it's murky depths side by side for heat--
Not that we minded.

It was perhaps the best excuse we had come across in a long time :)

Anywho, pleasantries aside, Ben wasn't exactly paying attention when I took a picture of him with my phone.As you can see, he was biting his lip at the time and looking away from me to keep himself from laughing at my sad attempts to get a picture. I decided I liked it enough to try and sketch it out. The light caught him so strikingly...In reality his features are more rounded- and thus I have to apologize to Cellie. Arai, if I remember correctly, has high cheekbones, like all Arab's do. Ben lacks them, but makes up for it in perfect gentlemanlyness.


Either way, this is just a work in progress of a portrait, taken with my phone. Enjoy!

Every single day
I find it hard to say
I could be yours to hold
You will see someday
All along the way
I was yours to hold
