cue up the country music and break out the bbq, we're headed to nashville on thursday, y'all! as part of S's anniversary present (in honor of the "paper" tradition for year one), i surprised him with tickets to one of our favorite comedian's shows. the only problem was that iliza shlesinger's tour wasn't coming through southern california. SO ...
the more i settle into my 30's the more i realize that everything they say about it being the best decade rings true. year 30 and 31 have been two of the best years of my entire life. sure most of that can be attributed to that handsome husband of mine, but even that aspect ...
as you're reading this week's edition of it's friday, i'm in love, S and i are on a plane headed to country music city, USA. yes, it's true, i'm making my eighth (EIGHTH!) pilgrimage to nashville and this time i'm so excited to have my partner-in-crime also in tow. in addition to having my love with me ...

it's become habit. just one step of many in my post-pure barre routine. as soon as the final muscle has been stretched and the mats have been polished with the finest disinfectant sprays (hygiene first!), i remove my grippy socks, slip on my gold sperry's (or old navy's much cheaper alternative), grab for my keys, ...
