We haven’t thought through exactly how to set up the experiment, but I figure for now, I’ll just post my meal plan for the week, grocery list total and spread sheet for the produce.
This week I get to finally test out our new wok! We’ve had so much fun using all of the wedding gifts and feel so blessed by the generosity people demonstrated. Okay…week 1!

screw you ben folds
i’m sitting across from this girl.
she has a flower hairband holding her hair back as she sorts through her past.
and i wonder, how did i get so lucky?
so lucky, to share a seat on this burnt brown couch.
so lucky, to hold her hand.
to hear her laugh.
to feel her heart beat when i lay my head across her chest.
so lucky.
how did i get so lucky?

Looking back to the day we met and how this has all unfolded, it can only be accredited to a kind and generous God. I am so thankful for you. Every second of every single day. I don’t know how someone like you could possibly exist, or how I of all people get to be with you. But I am so happy
I love getting to share every day with you. I love all these mundane things we get to do, like spend way too much money on groceries, cook ‘gourmet’ meals, and try to decide what we want for our futures. I wasn’t sure how our relationship would change in this new season when all we had ever known were 2 week vacations. Oh how I looked forward to those airport hellos and dread...
a "blog" about "blogs"
I wrote a blog once. It was about how “blog” isn’t a word, and neither is “texted.” But what makes a word a word? Is not “dinklefink” a word? I said it. I could tell you that it means “an unhappy person.” Is the fundamental use of our language based on such rigid rules that so undermine my creative process? The inhibitive nature of this limited lexicon robs the interlocutor of the freedom...

i'm so happy.
i’m so inexplicably happy. well i guess it’s not so inexplicable. it’s because of her.
i love her. i love being in the same city as her. and the same timezone. no calculations to see if it’s too late to call. i can just go over. to say hello. just to see her smile. we can eat meals together. and we can sing. and we can laugh. dance. just about anything.
oh what a...
and so it begins....again.
i am a part of your everyday. we ate breakfast together today. not fancy “went out to eat breakfast” or “a couple times a year we make pancakes breakfast”. just cereal. and i drove you to school this morning. not the airport. while our goodbyes were heartfelt they weren’t burdened with the weight of the last words we would speak in person for an indefinite time. no,...

….who i am madly in love with.

this is the first page of the first chapter of our lives. at least from this point forward. or as far as this blog is concerned. that thought makes me excited. like a kid after candy. or me after candy. i spent 10 bucks on candy last week. gosh. i’m such a little kid. but i love that. and i love that i can feel giddy like a kid on christmas simply because i am getting to write this. to...
