A whole year has gone by, and so it is time to start fresh - fresh as a pan of chocolate chip cookies coming out of the oven! ;)

Cotton Candy Clouds
Um... What just happened?
Monday afternoon I was blissfully bouncing down the street thinking about how I hadn't had anybody I was really interested in for a loooong time. I went to say to myself, "Yeah, Universe. I'd like to place an order for one of those." But the second I heard those words, I changed my mind. The truth was, it was the first time since I was 14 and a half that I was so happy just being me that I really didn't even want anybody else in my rainbow sprinkle sparkle land. Whoa.
So that's what made what happened over the next 48 hours so ridiculously... Unexpected? Awesome? Unexpectedly awesome.
First of all, anybody who shows up to hang out with me a half hour late and, in doing so, unknowingly gives me a chance to sip on a Chai Frappucino and people watch in the sunshine is obviously okay in my book. But to top it off by picking me up while hugging me hello...? Um, yes please.
What ensued was a afternoon (or three) of errands and adventures around sunshiny Madrid, talking and giggling all the while.
At one point still early on in the day we ended up on a mini terrace eating gelato (gin and tonic gelato, as it turns out, is delicious). We were casually engaged in conversing when he stopped and said, "You look really happy." Immediately my eyes squinted into my most authentic and blithe grin and I nodded.
Here's this little 24 year old girl from Colorado having gelato in the sunshine at a cafe in Madrid, Spain after having recently returned from a month of living on the beach, surrounded by the most clever young souls who taught her to truly adore herself.
Life felt like I was walking on cotton candy clouds, and his presence was a further dusting of sugar - the glimmery crystal kind!
XOXO
