life lately...

...has been busy!  

work has picked up a lot {as it always does towards the back half of the year}. there have been babies and weddings; visiting friends and weekends away; plus the returning love for my own bed when i wake up on a saturday morning to coffee, jay and two happy kittens.  it seems lately my weeknights are on reserve for handsome and weekends on reserve for friends. i'm not sure how much quality time jay and i will get to spend with each other over the next few weeks.  last week we walked home from the subway sharing an umbrella in the rain, which we typically do, but this time i felt myself swooning over that little moment.  coming up, our time may just be as grand as pouring a drink and sitting on the same couch while i am head down in laptop.

on the brighter side of things, i try to remind myself of all the good things that are consuming me.  things like a job i love, girlfriends i finally found in this city {and also love!}, and so many fun activities that leave me feeling really proud of our friend on tour, our friends about to get married, and the fast approaching two week trip to europe with a few details still needing to be planned out.

it may not be the most romantic time right about now but i sure am dreaming a bit more of this trip.  i am anxiously awaiting a full two weeks of husband time and limited days of crammed full schedules of places we aren't dying to see.  really, i can't wait to wake up and say "what's on tap for today, the louvre or musee d'orsay?" 

all of which isn't really that bad now is it?

le sigh.
