The Day That Felt Delicious

A warmy, sunny, laundry day. But first! I hung a clothes line. And dried, by the magic air, our linens fine.
I felt so good I took some self portrait, of a smile almost forgotten, but not quite. I found it there. Towards the back, with the dreams I dared, for so long, not to dream. For fear they burst, and hurt, the slight bubble of hope in my heart.
And then, whats more, my dearest one made dinner for us two, and too we watch films, charming-- John Waters' Hairspray, Juno. Then David Bowie music videos while in her hair I wove and wrapped four colors nice and tight. And in the end the day, it felt delicious.

Lost and found.

Some moments during the day I stop and realize just how lost I am, just how many questions there are. Today we watched Into the Wild, fuel to my inner fire. I cried tears of confusion and understanding.
Josh and I then went to town and had a nice late lunch, with pie. I have been getting better at asking him questions about those times in his life when he was filled with questions about who he was and where he was going. He is such a wonderful teacher. I could not ask for more in a partner and confidant. I find so much peace in his stories, in him telling me of the times that he spent learning living, it is almost as visceral as the peace I find in the scent of his beard. Though, it is easier for me to hide in his beard then open up about my questions, fears, and confusion. Yet, I always find, when I do open up the conversation that unfolds I come back to time and time again, as a sanctuary, when my thoughts over-consume me.

In other news, we found a house to move into. The things I love about it-- lots of windows, a garage (which will probably serve as studio space), a huge FENCED IN backyard with a HUGE tree. I feel really happy about this space we have found to abide for a bit. Especially with summer coming up, Delilah and Barrett are going to love the backyard, as will we! I feel rather overwhelmed with packing and moving this next week. Its going to be a struggle, but with a sweet reward. Oh! Forgot to mention, the new house has both heat and central air. Blessed are the small things.

Today, on my day off, I was able to spend some quality time with our home. Getting things put back together after weeks of craziness. It was refreshing.

Happy Brithday Darling, I love you very very very much.

Josh had to work until 8:30ish on his birthday, this is what he came home to :)

First photographs after getting somewhat settled into our new home. Taken Sunday, on an evening walk around town. When every person we passed waved, every dog barked, and we encountered one very excited donkey (dong).
