Wish you were here.

right this moment, it's warm in our house. sunday afternoon warm. the way it gets when the sun is hot in the sky and dinner is warming up the house. i'm in my cotton dress (yes, mom, the one you just bought me) and my lovely olive green apron i bought with a gift card we got as a wedding gift to a way-expensive cooking store. i was no cook back then, so instead of buying something useful, i bought this way-over-priced apron. at least it's cute. and i suppose it is useful, since i wear it almost every sunday.

it's warm here. did i say that already? i love it. we're all together. listening to this song on this homemade cd we found in grandpa keller's red truck one night when we were dating. what a beauty this song is. just moments ago, at almost the same time, we both said how it reminds us of when we were younger lovers. it reminds us.

what i love about sundays is being home.

i love my husband.

i love my sweet child.

i love comfy clothes and taking naps and cooking.

.

i love slowing down.
