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.

  • We made do with a virtual happy hour this weekend but man oh man do I miss these people and these days. Wildly grateful for this crew and what they’ve meant to me over the past six years! (Shoutout to Zoom for being the real MVP these days!)
  • In the midst of all the chaos and confusion surrounding us I’m reminded how important (and necessary) it is to be grateful for what is in front of me. So this morning I’m grateful for my morning view, that snoozing pup, the sun that is rising, the coffee in my mug I made, our little porch to enjoy some fresh air, and getting to spend more time Ben these past few days. I’ve worked from home for four years and it sure is a treat to finally have a coworker (Walter never added much to the daily work conversation).
  • Social distancing today looks a lot like Walter soaking up time with both Ben and I home, I’m checking the tracking on the 1000 piece puzzle I ordered while designing a website, and Ben is cranking out our taxes. (Bless him)
  • Soaking up every ounce of springtime, fresh air, and hints of joy we can get these days
  • Thankful for weekends with these two and the fact that evenings now have a bit more sunshine ☀️
  • A birthday weekend of my dreams filled with all my favorite people. Nothing brings me more joy than when the gang is all back together!
  • I just adore you Ben Radford! Be my Valentine pretty please ❤️
  • 2020 is apparently the year of hobbies for me. Don’t mind me over here baking a sourdough loaf, practicing my French, and throwing all the things on the pottery wheel. 2020 is also the year of having my patience and ability to slowwww downnn be very much tested by the aforementioned hobbies.
