I’ve been taking walks around my neighborhood and its been so cold but - and usually when it’s that cold I just do not want to take a walk outside or be outside at all but I have, I don’t know, every evening been wanting to take a walk anyway and even though its been super cold and when I get back my fingers have been like frozen, it has been really comforting and- something about, I don’t know maybe going out into the cold and then becoming warm when you come inside is comforting, like I’m just warm all the time now because we have heat, but yeah- something about getting really cold and coming in and getting warm has been really nice.

I’m whispering because it’s a secret. But, it’s my husband’s birthday this weekend and I’m planning him a giant scavenger hunt around the house and if he gets the clues right it will lead him to his present. I guess it’s a treasure hunt not a scavenger hunt, but I’m planning a big secret. Don’t tell anyone.

My partner and I decided to get eloped and my family doesn’t necessarily approve but at the same time, regardless of what my family feels - the love that we’re going to endure and experience within our lives is greater than what our family experiences and the joy that they will experience from our love. I feel as if, you know, maybe everyone doesn’t agree- but at the same time, the love that we have for each other is greater than what they see. I appreciate all that you do. And the work that you do. Thank you so much.
