Two Years Married

Two years ago, it was our wedding day. Everything looked so vivid and saturated with color, and there was a waterfall behind him and flowers in my hair. The wind blew my veil all over the place but it didn't matter. I was so nervous and I couldn't wait to be his wife, to take his name and be forever his. Boyfriend always felt wrong, fiancé felt even weirder--but husband, husband sounded like him. It looked like him. He stared into my eyes and I felt whole. I cried during my vows. He held my hands firmly but gently, and I knew as I had always known that he was the best human being I would ever encounter and the most honest, humble, kind, and loving man I'd ever known. I wanted to speed through the ceremony, yet I wanted it to last forever. I think he understood everything I felt, and then all I wanted was to run away with him. It felt strange to me to have our vows to each other so public, to be so intimate and personal yet all could see. Our eyes were locked on each other alone and through blurry tears I tried to take mental snapshots. We found love young, and it is truly a beautiful thing. Happy anniversary, I love you always.

DUMBO, Brooklyn

Everytime I venture to Brooklyn I wonder why I don't go there more often. It's always refreshing and composed of so many hip cafes, bars, boutiques, and parks. Fun Fact: DUMBO got its name in the 70s from local artists who wanted to dissuade realtors or developers from buying into the area. I saw a couple getting into a car after getting married, a girl taking pictures for her quinceanera, ice chunks floating down the East River, and lots of cute pups taking their owners out for a jog. Pretty cool, Brooklyn.

February Instagram Recap

Happy Friday friends! I can't believe this is the last week of February. 2015 is moving along quite speedily. It has been a bittersweet month, lots of snow, single digit weather, and staying indoors, with valentine's day in between to add a little cheeriness to the month. I wanted to recap the month by posting a few of my favorite instagram pics. If you would like to follow me, you can find me here!

My homemade valentine's cake for Kyle, recipe can be found on this post. A fun photo shoot featuring my cousins at the Museum of Modern Art, see more pictures here! Our new rug for our living room...so soft and comfy. Cozy socks, a good book, and tea = my kind of afternoon! Looking uptown towards the Empire State. Sunday morning doughnut run to Dough in freezing weather...so worth it though! (Thank you for opening up a location in Manhattan!) Happy weekending folks! <3
