Also, my wedding is 73 days away. This is a wonderful thing.

La vie est belle. Merci mes amis, bon soir.

this is a tale for all the fellas.

question: what should a finace say after you've just bawled your eyes out on his shoulder for a solid 20 minutes and are now feeling alright and are in the car ride home?

answer: "it kind of feels like someone peed in my armpit"

i haven't laughed so hard in a long time. clearly, my fiance is the best. sorry ladies, he's allll mine.

two friends.

these were on the cement column things that are on either side of our apartment front steps. there were two others before, but they went away and then these showed up. i have no idea who is putting them there, but for some reason it makes me really happy. new signs of spring.
