three years ago today, we eloped. when I met my Gus in college, I knew it was going to be something special. we fell in love all at once, then sort of continuously after that, and a little more all the time. we talked about our future together regularly ― the vacations we’d take, the restaurants we’d travel to, the furniture we’d buy, the dogs we’d raise. he proposed to me after six years with a ring he designed. as the weeks went by into our engagement, the questions became more frequent, and I kept dodging them. In the privacy of our living room in Seattle, we discussed ideas of eloping and taking a long vacation. The idea was so intriguing, but the questions began to flow through me like a raging river — how would I get married without my family there? would they be upset or angry? would I be upset having such a big life event without them? would I feel like I missed out on having a white dress? would I regret not having photos of the day we got married? would I be upset that I’ll never experience the “first look” that everyone talks about? the answers to these questions about deciding not to have a wedding were resolved by one simple truth: all I wanted to do was to marry the man I love; it didn’t matter where, when or how. on November 10, 2016, we got ready together in a hotel room in downtown Seattle. I wore a white lace dress from Forever 21 and a black leather jacket. I bought a bouquet from Pike Place Market an hour before. at 4:30 p.m., we took an Uber to the Seattle Municipal Court. we didn’t have witnesses, so we asked two strangers to sign the legal document. we were married on the roof top of the courthouse with just the judge. it was the happiest moment of my life. the judge — bless his heart — even took pictures of us on the rooftop as the sun dipped below the Puget Sound. he said it was one of the most memorable, intimate ceremonies he’d had the pleasure of officiating. . . . . #lovestory #anniversary #weddinganniversary #elope #elopement #seattlewedding #huffpostido

I learned to sew today!! 🧵 a day in the studio with @drygoodsdesign to learn how to use a sewing machine to create a small drawstring pouch and a reversible tote bag. I feel proud of myself for creating tangible items with my hands. taking it one needle and one stitch at a time with my hands spread over cotton felt freeing. . . . . . #learntosew #sewingclasses #sewingclass #sewing #sewingproject #imadethis #imadeit #imadeitmyself #seattledesign #seattledesigner #bagdesign #bagdesigner

G and I took Huxley to our favorite spot @adrifthotel for the night. we sat by the fire and took a walk lit by a waning crescent and all the stars in the sky. we looked up at the sky in silence until the fog rolled in. Huxley was very happy.

I went on a quick 24 hour getaway to the washington coast to watch Huxley run in the sand, hold hands with G, feel the salty wind on my face, and see the stars. I took a deep breath with the ocean, my empty lungs now filled with the life of the sea.

trick or treat! 🎃👻 we’re handing out halloween candy tonight. I’m trying to save all the pb m&ms and reese’s for myself shhhh. . . . . #halloween🎃 #trickortreat #halloweendecorations #halloween2019 #halloweendiy #halloweendecoration #halloween #halloweencostume #dogcostume

I thought this was Huxley’s halloween costume but I might just dress him like this everyday because it brings me so much joy. it’s hard to believe Huxley has only been in my life since May—it feels like he’s always been here. if you scroll back on my feed, you can see the pic of him in this lil cap when he was adopted. special shoutout to @emeraldcitypetrescue for him and the cap, and a special thank you to the incredible @natasharoot_ for his lil bow tie. the sweater was a hand-me-down from Max 😭
