ON what it looks like


one / two / three

this is what it looks like:

it's waking up with someone who immediately reaches for you to pull you in closer.
it's staying in bed far too long after the alarm has gone off because you just can't leave.
it's driving around in circles because it's more fun than anywhere you could end up.
it's someone listening to you and remembering everything you say.
it's someone bringing you flowers because flowers are important to you.
it's having the best damn time grocery shopping.
it's slow dancing in the living room.
it's saying literally anything without any boundaries, shocking even yourself as the words come out.
it's the other person willingly eating vegan food, no complaints, no jokes.
it's an all day, every day texting stream and phone calls from someone who 'hates the phone'.
it's spending an abnormally long amount of time with the same person and enjoying it so much.
it's someone making you lunch, without you asking, because you're in a rush.
it's wanting to stay home together instead of going out (and only being mildly freaked out by that).
it's laughing a lot, i mean like a lot, a lot.
it's running errands.
it's having the same values.
it's naturally sliding your fingers into his.
it's none of the shit that you thought it was before or the stuff friends/media/etc like to tell you it is.
it's being inspired to step it up in every area.
it's someone kissing your hand all the time.
it's someone stopping you to tell you that you look beautiful.
it's suddenly actually caring about something that you truly never did before, just because the other one does.
it's really fucking easy.
it's someone making you into a nicer, kinder, more attentive person.
it's someone calling you out on your bullshit.
it's knowing someone instantly, and totally.
it's knowing that it may be for right now or it may be for always, but either way there are important lessons made just for you that could only be taught just by him.
it's mushy blog posts like these that make you only slightly uncomfortable.

that was it, i swear. but then my best friend was by tonight and she said for her, it's hearing her fella's heartbeat. (okay, she didn't say fella, but that's how i speak, soo there's that.) how sweet is that? there's something so calming and inviting to her about hearing his heart. in 24 years of friendship, i've never heard her say that before :)

okay, now back to our regularly scheduled sarcasm and wit and general observing of life and writing about dogs.

FULLlife: Birthday Baby

A lovely birthday weekend!
My birthday was May 20th and I've been celebrating for the past few days...

with family & my baby pup:
with beautiful flowers:
with delicious vegan food (even the non-vegans loved it!):
by visiting BARC shelter & raising $620 for them:
with my best friends (& kale juice, naturally):
with mani/pedi's with my mom & wine:

I love my birthday!
my favorite part of the celebrating was definitely visiting BARC
& being surrounded by people that I love!

looking forward to a few more celebrations this week :)

what do you do for your birthday?

Here Comes The Sun:

This is for trying new things.
For pushing into that feeling that doesn't ever feel so great.
For greatness.
This is for patience when you've run out.
For running out.
For running.
This is for the way it feels to let yourself feel.
For feeling nothing.
For feeling everything.
This is for time that is fleeting.
For fleeting thoughts.
For freeing thoughts.
This is for being free.
This is for you
and the way you look at me
that gives you away.
It is not an elephant in the room,
but God Himself there with us.
The company is welcomed.
The company is laughing.
This is for me
and the way that I don't recognize myself
and all the ways that I finally do.
This is for front porches and front stoops and front yards
who keep the stories
I keep in the back of my brain.
This is for going back.
For going forward.
For swing-sets and sunsets and set-ups and upsets.
For letting it settle.
For never settling.
This is for meeting you at 2
and meeting you at 20
and meeting me at 25.
This is for meeting halfway between our houses.
For all the houses you had.
For finally being home.
This is because love will fill you up
until it spills up and out,
until you have no choice but to share it.
This is for sharing the words unsaid to anybody else.
For the things that go unsaid.
For the things that don't need to be.
This is because I know you are on the path you should be.
Your feet would not be on this ground if it wasn't for you.
This is for you.
This is for you.
Take it.
