This weekend we bought succulents. Eight tiny succulents. We sat at our big farm table and planted them, one by one, letting the soil spill through the table and onto the floor. We placed them in the windowsill and watched them in the forefront of the afternoon storm we’ve grown so accustomed to.

I wake up every day happy to be here. Happy in my new home, happy to be with Blake, happy to make coffee and start the day. I’m sure the novelty of it all will wear off eventually. But for now? I’m reveling in it.

  1. The novelty may not wear off as quickly as you think! :) All the best to you and Blake.

  2. Beautiful! Enjoy it

  3. Succulents are great, especially if you don’t have a green thumb (as I don’t). :) I planted a few of mine in huge pots and they’ve gotten so tall that they are about to topple over. I hope they don’t! Glad to hear you are so happy!

  4. welcome to the good life–cohabitation with the one you love. nothing sweeter :)

  5. yay for succulents! they’re the literal best. I think they’re my favorite plants ever, ha! beautiful shots :)

  6. So happy you’re happy, I hope the novelty doesn’t wear off for a long time. I’m excited to start planting things when I move. Succulents are a must.

  10. when its as good as you describe, the novelty doesn’t wear off like you think it might!. but relishing it either way sounds about right :) love your succulents.

  11. will you ever share the story of how you & blake met (and fell in love)? :)

  12. yes! will you ever share how you and Blake met? It seems like only a couple of months ago and you two already have a house together! Hope the novelty of blake doesn’t wear off! ;)

  13. I third the request for the story of how you and Blake met. I’m a sucker for a cute story (and succulents! – Yours are so adorable!).
