keeping in the spirit of not explaining myself

something just for me

in high school we had a lovely time at someone’s cotillion where we spent the evening with a few friendly faces from school. as wonderful of people as they were, there lacked a sense of personal connection that easily attributed to our discomfort when we respectfully declined joining them on the dance floor at the end the night. our embarrassingly underdeveloped dance skills wouldn’t DARE be seen on the same floor as their moves that could only belong to rhythmic masters.

it was common behavior from us back then. even though we went to school with a lot of very nice people, there were very few that we felt completely at ease with, so every day for 4 years we spent lunch in the parking lot behind school, split your homemade pb&j sandwich, and talked like an old married couple.

when we got home that night earlier than planned, you asked me what i wanted to do. we ended up building a blanket fort, layed inside, and talked like an old married couple that still knew how to feel as young and sweet as a childhood crush :)

my mini garden

about a week ago

my cousin and i rode our bikes onto the creek behind my house to fetch some delicately dried plants to make.... this! bathroom corner be naked no more.


an afternoon bike ride in the sun definitely called for some iced tea (along with ice cream and peanut buttered toast + a sprinkle of sugar.) fancy we be.

passion tea

wild orange tea

afterward, we started on a mini garden that i've been meaning to do since last year. :x

then we finally got started on a little project of ours. here's a sneak peek!

in previous years, i usually never cared for the end of summer (fall and winter have always been my preference) but you'd be surprised what a difference ultra cute seasonal outfits make! for the first time i am sad to feel the nights get colder. fall attire be void fulfilling. better be!

summer school ended about a month ago

so here's my final project from it!


and what i was thinking at the time:
"i like working in the huge empty room next to mine because even though there is plenty space anywhere to nap, Toby will come to my side, plop down, curl up, and look TOO FRICKEN CUTE while he naps."


*he's not actually in the picture, just wanted to show you what my idea of an ideal(ish) workspace looks like.

the answer is yes!

brandon and i have indeed talked about getting married. this is exactly how the conversation went:


it's true.
