jubilee!

my sweet sister, rachel, gave handsome and me 2 tickets

to the bijou jubilee- a fundraising event for the theatre.

we had a great time- it was held at krutch park,

and there were mint julips, tarot readers, and a magician...

the magician wasn't very good, but he did get the one card trick right.

(i tell handsome that he plays his cards close to his chest,

but he doesn't think i'm as funny as i think i am)

after the hors d'oeuvre were served, a signed guitar auction was held-

but i didn't exactly have the funds for the $2200 steve miller guitar i had my eye on...

at the end of the night,

the big orange banditos came through

to escort the guests down to the theater, nawlins' style!



where handsome was caught up (or rather, surrounded) by the mood

i love spending time with him

and our crazy friends

and most importantly, it was for a good cause!

if you live in knoxville, or if you're ever in town-

proof

i say handsome is addicted to sticking his tongue out in pictures,

handsome disagrees...

... and these are just a few examples of why i win this round.

running

handsome and i  realized that we might be looking a little doughy lately, so we've taken up running. we only finished day two yesterday, and already i'm walking a little... differently.


it really hurts.
a lot.


but it's something we can both do, we get to see each other for at least 40 minutes everyday, and we're not spending money.
so for now, we run.
and take unhealthy doses of aspirin.

there is this boy...

he is handsome.
we are going on a date tonight

(because we are still courting each other)

i met him when i was 11

 saw him briefly when i was 23

and ran into him this past september.



so blessed as i am with an excellent mind,

i don't think i'll let him go again.

3rd time being the charm, and all that...

p.s.

this picture makes me almost as happy as he does.
