Our Second Anniversary

Michael and I spent our second anniversary in Hood Canal, celebrating like an "old married couple"—or at least that's what Tia, the woman who cut my hair last night, told me. Call it what you want, I call it perfection: deep conversations, bright stars, beautiful water, amazing books, sunshine, coffee, naps, cooking, and even watching a little bit of football. I love doing life with you Mr. Monroe. Happy anniversary! I'm excited to grow old with you (and apparently we're already there).

It's ok Tia, we know we're nerdy. No offense taken.

Eavan's Fourth Birthday

My niece Eavan turned four at the end of August. And I just can't resist taking piñata pics...

I love seeing my brothers as dads. I love the women they married, and I love love love all four of their babies. Happy birthday sweet Eavan! It's so fun to watch you grow up and make friends.
