welcome back

half pepperoni

half pineapple and ham

the perfect pizza to share on a friday night

new and shared traditions

i have missed sharing these moments with you...

know

there are some things that we know for sure..

and there are things that are out of our hands.

i know that sitting down with a warm beverage

with a loved one sitting across from me is for sure

and really that is all that matters

that smile and a hand to hold.... is home

solitude

simplicity is freedom.

simplicity brings joy and balance.

simplicity allows us an inward spirit of trust.

simplicity is walking downtown looking for light in the windows.

...and seeing the light glimmer as you hold his hand.

she made me feel loved.

dishes done

trash out

dinner made

rose on the dash

lunches made

notes written

leaf bag holder

...these are not even the best reasons why i love being married
