The Big Move.

Well, it wasn't that big of a move. But it was our first. And it was pretty monumental - full of all the mushy, sentimental, nostalgic moments that involved big sighs and even a few sappy tears.

So, here's what happened:
We wanted to save some money. (So that we can travel/travel/travel - get back out there again.)  And so we apartment swapped. With Mr. Shane Lance. An interesting situation, I know. But we talked about it, we did it. It happened.
So. We are currently living in the apartment above the parents' garage. It was a smooth transition. We are cozily settled into our new home now. And we're praying that the weather gets better soon so that we can make use of the beautiful trail nearby and - of course - take picnics beneath the tree where we were wed.

Some pics of the old place:
(Oh, our first apartment...)

Moving in to the new place:

Valentines Day.

Only one guy has every had my heart.
Three year ago was our first valentines together. He was in India, I was home. Needless to say, I didn't expect to celebrate the day. Regardless, I awoke to a video in my inbox that he had made - featuring pictures of him and I together and little phrases that were a constant, sweet exchange between us.
Ah, it's the little things...

This year for Valentine's Day we stayed in.
We ate a great home cooked meal together. (Including some delish fondue - cheese & chocolate.)
And it was peaceful and lovely and full of all things loving.
