I thought of something, today. Something that I do not think you know about me: when I feel most at peace. If you were ever to ask me this question, I think that my initial, instinctual answer would be something like, "When my whole family is together under one roof, all safe and accounted for, I feel most ...
Merry Christmas Eve. Right now, I am celebrating by typing in my office (read: bed. It is so warm and cozy in here! I have THIS on my lap!) and listening to the three people whom I love the most as they play downstairs. They are playing Yo Gabba Gabba and something called Bunchems and beautiful, blessed music. I ...
My friends! Here I am, just in time to sign off once again. This past week both my phone and my computer crashed. Like, really, actually crashed.

Happy Five year Engagemeversary, partner. I feel so blessed to be sunning on the same magical island, and living in the same bedroom, sleeping in the same bed, that we shared, five years ago today, when you first asked and I first answered.
