in pursuit of pleasure
I hope you’ll forgive me for the random-ness of this post, but it’s just something I was thinking about the other day that I wanted to share. Last summer, Conrad and I spent two weeks in Europe to celebrate our marriage with the French side of my family. In case you didn’t know, my dad…

france, part i
Photos! I can’t tell you how excited I am to share our trip with you guys. The last two weeks were definitely something of a whirlwind, with too many airports and not enough coffee, but all in all, they were truly amazing. I got to show Conrad where I’m from, introduce him to my French…

love
Our big trip is finally over, and while I have so much to share with you, I want to take a moment and think of the events in Nice last night. And the shootings in Orlando. And the bombings in Brussels and Paris. And all of the awful displays of hatred all of over the…
