Love

very relevant MTV reference R and I were having drinks with a friend who recently went through a break up. He is the kind of friend you love and respect enough to say very honest things, which always helps when talking about relationships over a hummus platter. At one point I said, “It sounds like she wasn’t interested in being challenged, and you’re the kind …

I was having a conversation about these modern dating times the other day (slash every day, but specifically this Tuesday). I said something like, “do you think we’re better off now than we were before?” to which my friend replied, “I don’t know, but I feel like it should be easier than ever to find something.

Sometime last week R and I had the weirdest conversation we’ve had in the almost five years since we’ve known each other.

And yet, I’m oddly calm and peaceful right now. It’s before the day has officially begun. I’m sitting in a gorgeous hotel room in an impeccably-restored Inn, in …

In one month from yesterday I will be a married woman. 30 days from the day before today is my wedding day. 29 sets of 24 hours from this very moment marks the last time I will not be single. But who’s counting?! I’ve been reflecting a lot on what makes a good match for life as I approach the day, less than four weeks …
