What Will Be Your Word?

I just re-watched Eat, Pray, Love and was drawn to the idea once again of having a word that describes you, your life, your views on the world, etc. I asked Adam what he thought his word would be and he siad, "fortuitous" because as he put it, "He feels pretty lucky lately." Nice touch fiance.

Last summer my mom gave Brytten, herself, and I a bracelet with the word "Aisling" stamped on it. She wanted something that would describe us all and settled on dream and then looked it up in different languages and discovered that aisling is dream in Gaelic. This is probably my word for the three of us and now that I am embarking on the next great love of my life I am on the hunt for my word.

I Love You and I Like You

I am still in awe of being able to know what my life will look like. I have my Adam.

Valid Excuse for New Shoes

Tomorrow will mark the second time Adam has been able to come home after we started our ridiculously long, long-distance relationship (1,260 driving miles and 1,040 miles in case you were wondering). As I anticipated him coming home the first time, I got so excited I had to buy something and the winning purchase was teal suede wedges. I reacted similarly in preparing for his second homecoming and bought a pair of leopard printed flats. Neither time did I put a whole lot of thought into the purchase but I somehow ended up in Target with coffee in my hand, to boot! Eventually I will have an entire closet of shoes that were purchased out of excitement for Adam coming home and I am perfectly fine with that notion.
