{A treasured new gift; Sydney Evan’s Amour necklace}

Despite the fact that I was inexplicably cranky yesterday (does that ever happen to you?), this has been a great week. On Monday night, my fiancé and I slow danced in our living room; me in bare feet and him in sneakers. We listened to a sad, soft song and though no words were spoken, I couldn’t help but fantasize about our wedding night. It was one of those sweet moments that I’ll remember forever and reminded me of one of my favorite lines from A River Runs Through It.

“As the moon lingers a moment over the bitterroots, before its descent into the invisible, my mind is filled with song. I find I am humming softly; not to the music, but something else; some place else; a place remembered; a field of grass where no one seemed to have been; except a deer; and the memory is strengthened by the feeling of you, dancing in my awkward arms.”

    Absolutely love that quote from A River Runs Through It; it really is so sweet and magical to dance with the person you love.

    Also love lemons and limes on display! So fresh and springy!
