Inspirations
All the things that brought me joy!
I have mixed feelings about Sundays. I don’t mean that in a love-hate relationship sort of way, but rather, there are two different feelings that I associate with Sunday.
Sundays feel like beginnings, like the start of something fresh and beautiful.
Sundays feel like endings, like the closing of another wonderful chapter.
I’m not entirely sure why Sundays make me feel this way, but Sundays always feel like some strange in-between day. A bridge, if you will, between the ending of the week and the start of a new week. Mondays feel like the “real” beginning of a week, if you ask me.
Anyway, all this to say that another beautifully wonderful week has passed, and with it I bring you all of my favorite things.
No new recipe, sadly, but Dylan and I finally celebrated our 5 years together on Friday evening. We went to where it all started: River City Cafe, where we enjoyed delicious burgers and refreshing drinks. Five years ago, on June 30th, we had our first date at River City, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. I’m looking forward to the next five years, and many, many more.
