Biking

On holiday all week and spent the day chillaxing with A. biking and a little window shopping.

I'm on the hunt for some fun spring sandals.
I heart these and these but they're way out of my budget. hmmmm

buona pasqua

it's easter sunday and A. and I are on a little roadtrip, stuffing our faces with maccheroni con capretto and washing it down with lambrusco in the little city of Mantova. hmmmm....
i heart our love for food.

and so we danced

a. surprised me at the last minute. literally. As I stepped onto the dance floor, he whispered in my ear, "I've switched the song to Ovenque Proteggi by Vinicio Capossela.
Panic? No. Practiced? No. Pure and utter bliss? Yes.
And without missing a beat, we danced around the room, completely lost in the moment.

1 year anniversary

Today, a. and i are quietly celebrating our 1 year anniversary.
actually, we spent the weekend nursing one another from a hideous 24 hr. stomach flu.
glad we have "his" and "her" sofa's in the living room.
true love i tell ya
