dance party + shipping deadline
this is an older image. the one place i can always convince my hubbahubba to dance with me is in our apartment. and oh my do we dance! some of my favorite times are when we’re in our pjays shimmying to records.
also a friendly reminder that today is the last day to order prints & such and guarantee arrival by christmas.
what dreams may come
in my early twenties i didn’t know what i wanted to do or where i wanted to go with my life. i tried on careers like dresses, seeing which one fit right. one of the times i remember quite clearly was when i decided to become a nurse – it was less school than becoming a doctor and i could help people. i researched what i would need to do and felt incredibly excited when i presented it to the hubbahubba. he was, as always, incredibly supportive, but gently asked me if my squeamish-ness around blood might negatively effect my wonderful new career path.
and that was my short-lived nursing career.
the world is amazing and beautiful, there are so many paths and options… i feel like everyday is brimming with potential. embarking on these explorations together (whether they are successful or not) makes everything enjoyable.
these past ten years have been full of so much magic, and i simply cannot wait to see what lies ahead, with him.
p.s. thank you to everyone for the sweet messages and joining me in this celebration of our love. ^_^ i’ll be taking a few days off and back to my regular stealth mode posting next week ^_^
237 steps
i studied french in high school and i always wanted to visit paris. four years ago i found some cheap tickets off-season and booked them on a whim. the hubbahubba came home to “we’re going to paris!” luckily, he’s used to my spontaneous and impulsive actions.
we were in paris for a week and visited sacre coeur. as we got closer we saw that there was a stairway to the top dome, but we had spent the whole day walking around and i was tired. he pushed me, and we climbed 237 steps to the top – the view was beautiful, the highest in all of paris. we were already informally engaged, and never saw the reason to make a big deal over engagement since it seemed like we simply belong together.
at the top of the dome he completely surprised me. he proposed (even though we were already engaged) because according to him, everyone deserves an engagement story… and now, we have one. ^_^
wookin’ pa nub
one of the first things the hubbahubba and i did together was create comics. we explored our creativity, and my goofy and loud side emerged. if i live to love, i also live to laugh. one of my absolute favorite things about him is that he gets me – he knows when i say something that seems serious, that its also funny and… he laughs, which in turn, makes me laugh. i’ve never met anyone who can make me laugh as much, at even the serious stuff.
this is a mini comic that he wrote and i drew. he doesn’t know i devoted time to creating this because i’m always too busy to work on our stuff. so, this one is for you. ^_^
we lived by the ocean
we lived 1/2 block from the ocean. i remember sleeping and waking to the sound of fog horns next to you. i wanted to travel, live somewhere bigger and more exciting, i never thought i’d settle down… until i met you. because coming home to you is what i truly need.
