my best friend

and i got married 1 year ago today. best year of my life.

i love you, brad.

ingenius!

i walked downstairs this morning, only to realize my little plumeria (which was sitting on the railing of our porch) had fallen off and the pot broken in the violent winds we've been having. poor plant. it looked so sad lying on the ground.

so i called up to brad & asked him to come pick it up- as i was running to work.
he did. he's so great.

and i came home to find my plant happily installed in a new pot:BAhahahhaha! if you can't tell... its in my old soup pot. awesome. :)
