the man behind the lens

4 Permalink 5

  if you've spent any time on social media this week, chances are you stumbled upon a funny video poking fun of the men behind their wives' (or girlfriends' in my case) instagram accounts. i was sent the link by a friend and after watching it (and literally laughing out loud), i can attest (regrettably so) ...

participation vs. anticipation

  as some of you know, S and i recently celebrated our one year anniversary. which for us as a couple is certainly a milestone, but for me as a female human, is also pretty impressive, too. S is by far and away my longest relationship and albeit a little embarrassing to admit that, i am so overjoyed ...

love story

4 Permalink 5

  the beginning parts feel like being trapped in a taylor swift song. the non-angsty "it's a love story, baby just say yes" ones. there are times you think your heart will explode from sheer and utter happiness, but it doesn't. instead you just walk around with a big smile on your face and bruise marks ...

my grandpa was a mean banjo-player. of the many things i remember most about that wonderful man -his affinity for caffeine free diet coke, trident gum, jelly beans, old-fashioned vanilla ice cream, his blue mini van with the personalized plate "1skivan," his ability to make nearly anything in his garage workshop, his strong hands and ...

  dear 2014, first of all, you look great. that new moisturizer is definitely working. but back to my letter (squirrel!). for someone who is seemingly never silenced, i find myself at a loss for words when attempting to express just how much your 365 days have completely changed my life for the better. i mean, you kicked-off with a ...

"oh , oh , oh !" of all of the ways one could be awoken from a dead sleep, i'm going to venture to say that hearing your girlfriend scream a string of expletives doesn't top the list. but that's exactly the wake-up call S received on sunday morning when i realized that not only had ...
