So cold. But so happy.

Morning finds. 

Will it take 15min to walk the last two blocks home. Only Lloyd knows. But it’s cool because I am in charge…

  

us. on a friday.

That freshie haircut on the mister and on me is a tan that has visibly come from a can. I am swooning so hard because it’s Friday and that means we are sitting on a bench under an umbrella about to eat at our favorite taco truck.

 We’re both wearing smiles and living our best life together.

This is minutes or moments - I don’t know - before a seizure. Lately, I’m realizing  two things. 1. We both have epilepsy. We just experience my seizures differently. 2. There is nothing wrong with our life and there is nothing bad about our life because I have epilepsy. We will still smile like that today and we will still do what we can to keep living our best life together.

Palm Springs

Palm Springs was absolutely incredible. What did we do? Nothing and everything. We relaxed, we read, we swam, we rode beach cruisers, we had THE BEST couples massage, we toasted, and we celebrated 5 incredible years of marriage.  It was heavenly and exactly what we needed before a couple of very intense work weeks. It's part of the cycle, we are working hard now so that we can enjoy a little down time after. In the meantime, I love being able to look at these images and have an instant smile on my face.

Not a bad view 

Swoon. Love a pool to ourselves.

We are all about the quiet commune pool

More pictionary. 

I eat all the avocados.

 

That card deck has been around the world with us.

Cruising downtown to do some browsing and brunching.

Handsome boy headed to the grocery store.

Wherever we go, we always picnic.

Coffee shop pictionary is a standard for us.

Champagne tastes better in bed.

Yes.

I mean this whole place is just perfect...

Sweet Luke arranged this. Well the champagne, and while we waited for that I was getting hangry so we decided room service was a must!

Thank you Ace. 5 years later, we love you even more!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Summer in the city...

This was a tough week - lots of late nights working due to a big summer work event coming up. We jetted out at 5:00 on Friday and hopped on the train for a quick 24 hour escape to the city.

Headed out to see Midi Matilda and Panic is Perfect at the Independent in San Francisco... Soooooooo much fun!

One glass of Veuve was the perfect treat.

Tour de France watching in bed in the hotel... I love it!

Reveille does not disappoint.

I love him.

Wandering around.

I can't drink beer, but I'm happy to read in a brewery while he sketches.

I can have a glass of wine though!

We will absolutely be back to this little urban winery a few blocks from the train station

 

We came back yesterday afternoon, and as nice as it is to get away, it always feels so good to come home to our space. We both worked a solid 9-5 at the office today - unusual for us, but I am so happy with how much work we both got done. Luke built bikes for our Retailer Event and I plugged away on excel drafting an order for our 2018 bike lines. 

The funny thing is, I am so happy with how much work we got done that I didn't even mind going in. It was kind of nice to enjoy the quiet of the office after so much hustle and bustle in the city. 

That and we both have an extremely short week - we leave Wednesday morning for Palm Springs, so keeping that in mind made a Sunday work session all the easier.
