ramblings on February 17th

A membership to the gym was the best Valentine's Day gift Ben and I could've given to each other - we are having so much fun going together! We bike, lift weights, and walk/run on the treadmill... all while watching crazy people run around the track and stare at themselves in the mirror, and make crazy noises when they lift weights.

In other news: this is my beautiful sis-in-law Katie, and she's really good at taking pictures :) Check out our latest venture to the fields behind the Doner's house to play with the horses here!

[ps - my current on repeat song is "if it's the beaches" by the avett brothers]

vacuuming...

i'm sitting here in my cozy apartment in the big city, watching my husband vacuum, thinking about how grateful i am to have a husband that vacuums...
when i think back on my life over the past few years, i never imagined it would turn out like this. i think about that every single day! i am so thankful.
he takes care of me, laughs with me, playfully teases me when i'm grumpy, and cooks me delicious meals.
i think i'll go give him a squeeze.

all warm blooded creatures make ghosts when they breathe...

"as gentle as feathers
the snow piles high
our world gets rewritten and retraced every time
like fresh plates and clean slates
our future is white."

sleeping at last, snow
