one year.

a lot has happened this past year. 

i've been a ton of places, meet some amazing people, and ate some damn-fine food. 

and for the past year i have been with my boyfriend, shawnie. 

it feels like only yesterday we met at the beach -- thanks to his beautiful dog, maude. 

we've had a ton of fun, a bunch of laughs, and at the end of the day he's my best friend. 

and really -- all that matters is that you're having fun. 

woohoo...cheers for one year!

The Grand essentials of happiness are: 

something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
