I love that you are always on my team. I love your dance moves, especially to the song, Cheerleader. I love your determination and desire to always be the best you can be. I  love the fact that you will take the time to use Mr. Peanut Butter Lid, Mr. Burts Bees, and Lt. Cactus to explain military terms to me. I love your passion for learning. You are one of the most intelligent people I know and I am constantly learning from you.  I love that you always push me to be a better person, challenge me, and support me no matter how crazy my ideas and dreams are. You make the best travel pal a girl could ask for and can make one heck of a travel itinerary. I love that you are a detailed list maker, and I am not. I love that you are always down for an adventure. I am also super thankful that you close all the drawers and cabinets that I accidentally leave open. I love that we make a great team and our little dream life we have lived this past year. I also think your the most handsome.

Happy birthday, Ben! You da best. Here’s to 23.

  • Slowly but surely feeling like home ✨✨
  • Ben is away for the weekend so it’s just us two! Walter has made it very clear that he didn’t appreciate Ben and I leaving for the month of August (cue this face every time I say his name) — to make it up to him I’ve committed to several dog park trips, treats, and walks ✨
  • Hopping right back into reality with massive to do lists, continuing to unpack and settle in to our new home, and figuring out what life looks like in DC. We may not be be gallivanting around Europe anymore, but being back home with Ben (and Walter) is still just as sweet.
  • You could say we are quite pleased with August so far 👏🏼
  • I don’t think today could have been any more perfect! Ben and I are truly grateful our neighbors turned into genuine friends in London five years ago and are just so excited for Charlie and Fariza!
  • Back home in DC (which still feels crazy to say!) Excited to start settling in to life here ✨
  • Honestly one of the most bizarre and hilarious 24 hours of my life. Not sure what we did to deserve that but PSA to any other castles needing first time guests — I AM AVAILABLE.
  • Filed under things I never want to forget — sunrise and sunset over Lake Como.
