labor day love

today was fantastic. the love and i spent the entire day together, just the two of us. we started the day with a dog walk (okay i lied our beautiful ladies were with us for most of it) in which ideas were created in our minds.
we ventured to the beach to enjoy a beautiful day in the sun. after settling in with our mexican rasta blanket and a couple of drinks, we enjoyed a lovely game of paddle ball. this is by far the best way to get some sun and exercise! the sun gods were in our favor today as it was just breezy enough and amazingly bright! the ocean was a bit murky but that definitely did not stop jt and sr from entering. nothing beats swimming in the ocean on a hot summer day.
after deciding we were a little hungry we packed up and headed home. followed by another lovely dog walk and some more beverages, after all it IS labor day and we are both off! we have only used the cornhole set i bought him a few times since xmas and thus decided to break it out. a few games later and we are ready for dinner. my chef is making us homemade calzones as i type allowing me to brush up and improve on my hooping skills!   such a simple day with so many smiles.

every saturday delray beach hosts a green market. this is my 4th year in said town and i have never been. shame shame. previously saturday mornings meant waking up early and getting ready for work at the salon. now that those days are in the past, i have an open morning (or so you would think). it seems every saturday since i have had SOMETHING to do and have yet to experience the green market, including the up and coming one. i am just dying to go and cannot wait for the beautiful morning that i finally venture out & attend.

"day 6"

so TECHNICALLY this isn't day 6 but i picked a terrible time to start this idea of mine. i was traveling throughout florida and then to new england and new york. we had an amazing time but alas, no updated blog photos.
so here is my "day 6".

day 6:
flowers


these are some beautiful sunflowers my amazing man bought me... & if you hadn't figured it out by now my favorite flowers.

beautiful mess

as i sit here drinking a glass (of what is arguably the most tasty red wine ever) and listen to ben harper (with an amazingly unique voice) cover the beatles, i can't help but think about how fortunate i am. really. i have this amazing bond with the man i hold so close to my heart it's scary, and not to mention he is an INCREDIBLE chef! after helping him with the prep work i sit at my unfinished oak (3rd generation) kitchen table while he continues to work his magic to create a remarkable meal which i have the pleasure of enjoying in approximately 18 minutes. i mean seriously... when did this happen??? how was i able to go from stressing out every day about going home to a situation i wanted out of but felt [stuck] in, to being swept off my feet and at the snap of a finger become head over heals in love?!?!? total euphoric life change. yes, we have our days and things can be tough, but together i know we can (and will) accomplish SO MUCH! we have the capability of achieving great life long dreams at our fingertips. i know sometimes i can be a bit of a mess, but he GETS me and it's a beautiful thing. finding someone who understands how you feel and would do nothing less than EVERYTHING for you. alright, enough of the mushy ranting, time to finish this glass of wine and enjoy a fabulous meal prepared by mi amor.

when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible

today marked one year for the love and i. of course, celebration was in order. we spent the afternoon eating LOVELY brunch at the sundy house. it is a unique restaurant/hotel/garden. we were surrounded by trees and plants (literally feels like you are in the middle of an enchanted forest) as we enjoyed a wide array of the most delicious food. it was an all you can eat buffet. i had the best eggs florentine i have ever tasted, brightly colored berries, a crepe covered in fantastic walnut banana syrup, perfectly ripe pineapple, and of course all you can drink mimosas. a m a z i n g. the rest of the day was gloomy which we spent laying around sharing our favorite memories of the past year that FLEW by!
i enjoyed today.
