Bodega Bay.
Happy 3 year anniversary!
We love the coast! So happy to be in California!
Packed a picnic lunch today and eat it on the Riverfront in Napa. After walking through the Chefs’ Market and drinking wine, eating cotton candy, and buying the most delicious peaches I’ve ever had, it was a perfect.
Birthday Love!
My birthday yesterday turned out awesome. I had a pretty bad day from the morning until 6:30PM when Austin got home from work. He gave me a delicious giant red velvet cupcake with a single candle to blow out. He bought me a wonderful dress that I love so much. For dinner, Austin took me to Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse. He and I aren’t big on fancy shmancy restaurants, but this was a thoughtful treat since we both figured we should go to this before we move out of Chicago. The food was absolutely delicious. I was a little disappointed that they weren’t playing the Space Jam sound track though, but whatever. Hee hee. After dinner we went to a Second City show. It was pretty hilarious, I’m glad we went. Thank you very much for a beautiful birthday, Austin. I love you very much. Also, thank you everyone for the Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Text, birthday messages. I appreciate it a lot and am lucky to have wonderful friends, even though most people (I haven’t talked to in ages) only greeted me because Facebook said it was my birthday in the upper right hand corner, it’s cool. <3 Love you guys!

![Dear Austin,
Thanks for being so fantastic lately. A lot of changes have been happening, new job transitions, new medication, a move coming up, etc, etc. I have been growing increasingly worried/scared about all these new adult transitions but I’m very lucky and happy to have a best friend who is patient and caring and kind.
Also one who takes care of Quatchi[s].
How is it that even when you’re gone for a couple hours, I already miss you?
Our life is an adventure.
Love,

Our First Valentine’s Day together.
This year is the first time, in the a little over 2 years that we’ve been dating that we are actually in the same place together. Thanks long distance relationship. Psh.
Austin had me run an errand to the CVS to pick up some photos…as a plan to get me out of the house while he was sneakily making a delicious dinner. He made our favourite Discoteka Fries from the Pick Me Up Cafe (that no longer makes them). Fries with onion, bacon, feta cheese, and ranch dressing. He also made mac and cheese with lasagna noodles in it. Yum. Needless to say, we had a ton of left overs, we barely scratched the surface of the mac and cheese. Thank you for the the delicious dinner and the wonderful evening.
The Valentine’s Day cake I made was a success. Delicious!
