Busy bee.

Please excuse my week of absence, it was a busy one. Levi left on Tuesday and I busted my ass at work for the next few days to compensate for time off/distract my sad heart. Thursday night I had drinks with Candice and slept for 4 hours at my parents' house before waking up at 4 AM to drive to California for Brittney and Jerry's wedding. I had a long, busy weekend and crammed as many faces and places into it as I could. The wedding was beautiful, wine was plentiful, my specialized vegan dinner amazing (char grilled balsamic marinated portobello caps stuffed with char grilled eggplant and red and green peppers). I'm not one for sappiness, but I did get teary during the ceremony and when I gave a speech at the reception. There weren't many friends there, just the few of us who have stuck by one another since the beginning of high school. Remembering all of the times we've had, how different we are now and how we all came together was just a bit overwhelming. I absolutely love my life and where I'm at now, but as H2O says..don't forget your roots. Did I really just take it there? Yes. I did.

I got back to Salt Lake on Monday night around 10:30. The usual bikes, beer and hang outs happened in between then and Wednesday. Wednesday I spent the evening at my mom's and then at Melissa's. She's fostering a pitbull/beagle mix who was returned after the Super Adoption and I absolutely fell in love with him. He's cuddly and sweet and small and adorable and I just want to take him home. I immediately consulted Levi about it and sent him tons of pictures and he's just as in love with him as I am. Melissa said she would keep him until we made a decision, but I want to think it out and not be hasty.

Did I really just type all of that? Jesus. Here are some pictures from when Levi was here/the wedding/random other times;

Last night in town; Este & Donkey Kong











We woke up at 5:00 AM to go to the airport this morning. Sleeping last night was impossible because all we wanted to do was talk and cuddle tighter than ever. I think letting him go gets easier each time because I know what I have to look forward to. Our one year is November 15th and I'll be spending it in PA and then moving negotiations begin. I keep telling myself it's only four paychecks or eight weeks or two months and there is so much to look forward to, it will go by before I know it. It has to, right?

Birthday boy























Levi's birthday was Saturday, the 12th. We woke up and I took him to breakfast at Vertical and then we went to the Living Planet Aquarium. We touched lots of slimy things and saw pretty fish and it was fun. Afterwards, we went home and I made TVP stroganoff and chocolate peanut butter cupcakes and Candice came over for dinner and drinks. Then we headed over to the pub to meet everyone else. So many people showed up and it made Levi and I so happy. Thank you again to everyone who came, we love you! We ended the night at Juniors and headed home around 1ish. We were so sleepy and drunk and Levi just kept saying how happy he was.

The next day we lounged around and went to coffee at NoBrow and then out to my parents house to visit and do laundry. We took Little on a walk and ate dinner with my parents and then I washed and folded all of his underwear. I gave him the mustache wax and comb I bought for his birthday and he loved it. I can't wait to see him use it :) After we left my parents house we headed back downtown and decided to go to Brewvies to see Taking Woodstock; there could not be a more perfect movie for the two of us to watch. The music was so good! We went home after midnight and crawled into bed to cuddle and pass out. What a long weekend.
