Almost once a day, one of us will look up our upcoming flight to the US and declare, “we still have a flight!” As the days get closer and closer, I am getting more and more excited I have to admit. Ana’s parents (my fab in laws) fly in Monday night to be at our…
The next morning
This morning I lazily woke up at my usual and normal time (around 7ish) but this morning I didn’t have to leap up to take our two dogs out on their normal route. I could just lay in bed and think about my day. I could get up and make a little coffee and come…
I’m back!
Ana has informed me that she checks my blog every single day hoping for a new entry. And to be honest, dear reader, I just haven’t felt the creative mojo lately. So in order to try to achieve some creativity back, my wonderful wife (I get to say that now!) has rented me an airbnb…

Wedding planning in a pandemic
Exactly one month from today I get to marry an incredible human. Here she is: As you can tell, she is pretty hilarious and awesome. She is adventurous and grounding for me. She is understanding with a huge heart. Her sarcasm is on point and she balances me out well. I could go on and…
Another Tuesday (would be lockdown week 33 and still kind of is but also not…)
Gardening, wedding planning and pups….this has been my life in the past week as I watch things open and open, both exciting and overwhelming at times. The world is opening up in ways that is making me think about how we will all process what we have collectively experienced and yet the touches of summer…
Not really lockdown anymore week 32
This week has been a busy week around here! Now that things are opening more and more, we can actually plan a bit of a wedding for our little celebration in 39 day from today! We booked a spot to host about 20 people after our ceremony. We talked to a caterer about food and…
