This little piggy went to market.

Note to self. Wear nothing but extremely comfortable and FLAT shoes when shooting a wedding. Although your wedges are comfy, and you feel as if you can run many a mile in them, the moment you take them off your toes are going to swell like sausages and you're gonna walk like a duck. I love you, self, but you're a big ole dummy sometimes.

Speaking of sausages, the wedding was German/American, and the German side had the neatest traditions! One of them was called a 'program', which was basically an hour and a half of the bride and groom's friends and family dedicating them skits, songs, dances, speeches, and lessons on how to be a German wife (which apparently entails making lots of sausage). It was something else! The whole thing was so lively and personal, I absolutely loved it. I can't wait to go through the photos!

Good feelings.

Through out the hectic day that is today, I keep floating back to the perfection of last night.

Our show had ended, and the television went dark.
We were so comfortable, nobody moved to change it.
It was raining outside, and the lights strung above our bed were softly glowing.
You were absentmindedly rubbing my calves, and I was stroking your chest.
We were silent.
I could tell the exact moment you fell asleep.
Your hand slowly stilled and your breathing grew heavier.
And there I stayed.
Motionless.
Increasingly thankful for the movement of your chest.
Knowing that each rise and fall meant that you were still there.


It was such a perfect moment. The rain. The light. The love.

I'm so thankful to be alive.
I'm so thankful you're alive.
I'm so thankful to have each other.

I don't want to forget.

All of the lights.

I ordered these Fairy lights a while ago off of Amazon, and I've been waiting for the platform bed we ordered to get here to hang them above it. I can't wait anymore! I'm about to get started. 

Gunner was SUPER intrigued with these lights. It's funny, he usually hates lights; he fusses at me every time I turn on my make-up mirror and absolutely despises camera flashes. He kinda just wanted to rub all over these. He's a big ole weirdo.

Eeeeeep, online shopping, you got me again. The Urban Outfitters Sale section tends to catch my eye quite often, and this time it really paid off! I've been searching for bedroom curtains for ermmm, a year and a half? It's been a while. I've been looking for something semi neutral, with some sort of pattern, in gray, and NOT too expensive - and it's proven a challenge. These bad boys were 12.99 a panel! Score. While I was there, I stumbled across this fancy, schmancy little wallet for 4.99. My current wallet is falling apart, and I feel like this one will be super easy to find in my purse. Even though I always wear a tiny purse, my wallet proves impossible to snag in a hurry. Last, but not least, I'm a sucker for a moon print, and this lunar calendar does it for me. I have the perfect place for it, over Skodapops desk. Things are finally starting to come together around the apartment. It really takes forever for me to decorate, I'm incredibly indecisive. My poor roommates.

Annnnd my shoes should come this week! I ordered them a while ago, majorly on sale, and they are FINALLY on the way! It's going to be a good mail week.

Coffee, laundry mountains, and a job interview.

Fingers crossed super hard, please.

2AM

It's nice to have someone working late with you. Shouts of "You can do it!" and "You're doing it!" echo back and forth between us as Gunner snores and Kitty glares.
