lazy sunday

last weekend i only had one day off and had planned on spending it being lazy.  

that did not happen.

after our drive through the mountains we thrifted in the suburbs for a while then joined some friends for a bbq.  

such as sundays go.

it was happy to have a day filled with sunshine, long drives, good food and lots of laughter.

 //

burgers.  knot lessons.  laughing.  making new friends. grilled watermelon. 

i'll take it all over being lazy any day.

//

do something unplanned. take a drive.  learn a new game (our involved nails and a hammer....and beer)

being able to come home and have someone support me mindlessly really helps to ease the stresses of the day.  i am not doted on but simply watched over.  feeling safe enough to be myself and comfortable enough to ask for help are only two of the many reasons i'm so in love with this dude.

smiles so big my cheeks hurt

preparing for the realistic but wanting the magical

loving openly, no matter how difficult it may seem, is easier than keeping it to myself

adventure scooter rides through the city with my BF chasing the sunset

surprise boxes of wine from my dearest of friends

introducing my BF to dawson's creek (and him automatically starting up episode 2 just after)

when all else failed, laying belly to belly and laughing until...well for as long as we pleased

honest conversations about everything

daydreaming about turning an abandoned observatory into the most amazing home. ever.

wanting to find an apartment just so i can see all of my newly thrifted blouses all lined up 

celebrating every monday...because we can

my mom keeps mailing me boxes (even though i have no home to put them in)

multiple trips to the bar with a good book and a beer

obsessing over crossword puzzle answers

i want a cheeseburger every night. he wants a burrito. so are life's many dilemmas.

solo thrifting trips after unity on sundays seem to be my restart button
