happy because...

 

Lately I have time to bake and make and read.

Today I found out I got good grades in all my classes this semester.

I woke up before the sun and finished this addictive book.

Tonight we are decorating our Christmas tree and going on a date.

Even though it's kind of annoying that I can wear short sleeves when Christmas is so close, we are having the best weather for taking a morning walk (or an evening walk, a midday walk...).

 

And when I'm an emotional wreck, Jeff goes with the flow and even manages to cheer me up.

I like him.

P.S. Pictures from my morning walk.

Between watching Whale Rider and The Endless Summer, eating coconut frozen yogurt, and spending every spare minute reading*, my love for summer is resurfacing. Thosepictures of Demetria in Greece have contributed as well. I want to go swimming!!!

We are picking up the keys to our new apartment tomorrow! tomorrow! tomorrow! But we'll be slowly moving everything for a couple weeks. I may have already tried talking Jeff into camping out in the half empty new place.

I tried out a new pizza dough recipe last night. It was so easy and quick. Recipe. Picture.

* I finished reading The History of Love (loved it so much I didn't understand why it was ending when I got to the last page.) and started reading Crossing to Safety.
