Starting Over

Hello Blog. Hello World!

The last time I blogged was three months ago and so much has happened in such a short span of time!

After I got home from work last night, I whipped up some soba noodles, dumplings, and brown rice. Lorenz and I ate our dinner on a cardboard box while watching TV. Out of the blue I started crying! I didn’t know why, but tears were pouring down my face as I was eating my soba noodles! Lorenz kept asking me what was wrong and kept trying to comfort me. I just started giggling and tearing up at the same time. “I’m just so happy,” I told him. “We’re eating dinner on a cardboard box inside our OWN apartment!” 

It’s been over seven years and Lorenz and I have always dreamed of the day when we could finally be on this stage of our relationship. We've come so far and have gone through so much, that this was just one of those moments where I realized how much we've grown. These easy moments are going to be the memories we’ll remember when we’re older. No furniture. Eating on a box. Starting our lives. Sometimes, it’s just the simple things that really make you appreciate life.


I couldn't be more thankful.
