One year





Aaron and I were reunited on our one year anniversary, back in the place where we said our vows. This year, there was no fog, but we were still surrounded by those that we love.

I know it sounds cliche, but I fell more and more in love with Aaron over the course of this year. There were a lot of changes this year, including our move to Pittsburgh, my variety of jobs, Aaron beginning his PhD... It was a wild year. I'm so glad to have Aaron by my side through it all.

Dessert for a big family dinner.


I'm in Nova Scotia with my whole family, celebrating the life of my grandfather. I made these crisps for dessert last night... strawberry rhubarb, blueberry, and strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry, with homemade ice cream.
