I groan softly when I wake up. I look at the time and see it is only three in the middle of the night. I turn around so I lay on my back and stare at the ceiling. Jet lag, well isn't that just perfect...

I place them on the blank paper and put them on different spots until I am happy with the way it looks. Then I glue them to the paper and then take some brush pens and fineliners to decorate the page.
"What on earth are you doing?!" Stoffel's voice was thick with sleep as he sat on the edge of the bed, looking what I was doing as he rubbed his eye.
"I'm making a photo album kind of thing."
"Photo album kind of thing." Stoffel laughed. "Now I know exactly what you are talking about." I chuckle and hand him the notebook.
"A photo album, just a little bit more decorated." Stoffel smiled at the first pictures.
"I still don't believe this is the first picture we have ever taken together." Stoffel looked at the picture. "We had been very good friends for at well over a year."

I sit behind him as I hand him the rest of the photos, my hands around his neck as we look at them together.
"We have to take a lot more these two weeks." Stoffel kissed my cheek.
