A Staycation Send-Off (August 2023)

Our love story isn’t just about grand gestures and exciting firsts. It’s also about the everyday moments, the shared experiences that weave the fabric of our connection. August 2023 presented a bittersweet challenge.

Her View:

The news that my office secured a project in Oman and I’d be part of the team for the next six months was a mix of excitement and apprehension. The chance to live and work in Oman was a fantastic opportunity, but the thought of being away from Obembe filled me with a pang of sadness.

His View:

Knowing Temilade would be in Oman for an extended period wasn’t easy. We’d built a beautiful life together, and the idea of being physically apart tugged at my heart. But I also understood and supported her career aspirations.

A Special Send-Off

In the week leading up to her departure, I wanted to create a memorable send-off. A two-day staycation was the perfect solution, a chance to pack in fun, relaxation, and quality time together.

Our Staycation Adventure:

Our mini-adventure kicked off with a visit to the Nike Art Gallery, where we immersed ourselves in the creativity and inspiration of the exhibits. Next, we explored the Lekki Conservation Centre (LCC), a nature reserve teeming with wildlife and offering a tranquil escape from the city’s bustle.

No staycation is complete without some cinematic action! We enjoyed a movie, sharing popcorn and laughter in the darkened theater. Finally, we arrived at the scenic Landmark Beach. The thrill of jet skiing, the refreshing coolness of the ocean, and the simple joy of relaxing on the sand – it was the perfect way to unwind and create lasting memories.

This staycation wasn’t just a goodbye, but a celebration of our love and a promise to stay connected despite the distance. Oman might have taken Temilade physically, but our hearts remained intertwined.

Join us in the next blog post, where we’ll share how we navigated a long-distance relationship and how our love continued to blossom despite the miles apart!
