Sunday:

 

Just a beautiful day at Disneyland with some of my closest friends.

 

Greenholt vs. Turkey Leg

 

Her Jonesesty

 

Roland vs. Carrot Stick

 

Boyo vs. Morse Code

 

"Where is mah Laura?"

 

Bonjour, French Quarter!

 

A Fabulous Display of Millinery. And Boobs.

 

C'est si bon, Boyo. And Bianca.

It’s a Good Life:

 

Every once in a while,
I am just struck by how lovely life can be.

In spite of how hard bits of this week were,
there was a moment Saturday night,
when The Boyo and I came home after the 20th Wedding
(Titus and Staci Gee!),
collapsed on the floor,
Corgi between us,
and there was just this…contentment.

There was a Christmas tree.
A warm house.
A boy.
A girl.
Their dog.

And it was good.

 

The Best Dog in the World.

Looky who I found wandering around Disney!

Staci's Bouquet

Apparently:

 

According to Facebook,
today is my Anniversary with The Boyo.

Only,
we can’t decide if it’s five years or six.

(I’m sure I have that written down somewhere in a journal, somewhere)

So, love,
to you.

To us.

To five (or six) years of adventures.

To trips to Powell’s Books in which you reminded me that there *is* a weight limit on suitcases, and no, I was not allowed to wear all of my clothes on the trip back in order to get more books back with me.

To getting a small dog together, and being continually delighted in just
how lucky we are to have her.

To tea, cartoons, and Dr. Who.

To early mornings in the flower market, grinning at you over armfuls of roses.

Even to the arguments we’ve had and resolved,
because they make us better,
because they do not allow us to take each other for granted.

To hedgepigs and cephalopods.

 

To the ferocious love I have for you when you wrap your arms around me,
and I feel so, so safe.

 

The Best Boyo in the World. Seriously.

 

I love you with my whole heart, Boyo.

Disney vs. History:

 

I could quibble with the accuracy of some of these,
but still, beautiful reinterpretations:

Claire Hummel Does Disney

 

Aurora is my favorite.

 

Lovely!
