Why 2 Spoons?

So glad you asked!

The words "two spoons" have been on Jono and my lips quite a bit recently, since we decided to name our semi-non-existent production company just that : 2 spoons productions. We have had a couple of enquiries of late pertaining to videos, and have decided to have a  go at having our own little production house, but this is besides the point.

Why two spoons?

Jono and I met in Kalk Bay, South Africa, which is a beautiful suburb south east of Cape Town. It has a strong british fisherman's town atmosphere to it, with cobble stone roads, being right on the oceanside and steep slopes leading up to the Table Mountain range. It's beautiful! The architecture of the buildings takes you back to the turn of the 20th century and brings nostalgic thoughts to mind - even though you haven't even live din that time!

We went to a small video production school a few feet away from the ocean. I tried not to pay much attention to Jono at first, as I did not want to be distracted by boys whilst at school, however, our friendship started to grow, and we started spending more and more time together.

We found that evenings were the best time to chat, and we always seemed to be hungry around that time. So, we would ravage the kitchen in search of something tasty to eat. It always came down to breakfast cereal... All Bran cereal.

Now, when it comes to eating cereal, you gotta have the right spoon. You know, the kind that has just the right balance and weight when you hold it in your hand. 

Being at a type of boarding school, the cutlery was extremely jumbled and none of it matched... EXCEPT for two spoons that were a set. These spoons were perfect - the right weight, shape and form.

Jono and I would seek out these spoons every night as we sat and talked about random things deep into the night. These spoons became a symbol of our friendship and growing love for one another.

Jono would later "take" these spoons from Media Village and use them in his proposal to me.. an incredible story that will be blogged about someday..

These spoons now hang framed in our kitchen - a constant reminder of how faithful God was in bringing us together and blessing us with such sweet memories.

And now, these spoons have contributed to the name of our new baby: the little production company. A passion we have shared since first meeting. 

I wonder: "In what ways these spoons will continue to be woven into our story?"
