“Lovers’ names, carved in walls
Overlap, start to merge
Some of them underneath
Maybe they appear
In graveyards
Maybe they fade away
Weathered and overgrown
Time has told
Meaningful hidden words
Suddenly appear, from the murk
Maybe they’re telling us
That the end
Never was
Never will
The words have gone
But the meaning will never disappear
From the wall”

Thank you Stephanie for being a lighthouse. You glow.
5 Comments »Just got back from a foodcation road trip to San Francisco. Did a bit of work, a ton of walking, and far too much eating.
This lemon-shallot romaine salad from Tartine hit the spot after we spent the day exploring the Golden Gate State Park.
Here’s the food we obsessed over in San Francisco:
Breakfast:
-Tartine for fresh bread, and an impressive cheese menu. //
-Sight Glass Coffee for a morning brew of coffee, and a delicious scone. Great place to rest your feet and people watch in the loft. //
Lunch:
-Outerlands for my favorite vice: a grilled cheese sandwich. Pairs perfectly with their cauliflower soup. //
-Nopalito for organic mexican food. The Totopos con Chile were my favorite.. “tortilla chips, salsa de arbol, cotija cheese, crema and lime.” //
Dinner:
-Flour + Water for scrumptious rotating menu of pastas that I could never make at home. //
-Mission Chinese for the spiciest food I’ve had since Beijing. Come for szechuan pepper that numbs your mouth. //
Would love to hear your favorite spots in the city.
Until we meet again SF!
1 Comment »This is the story of Melissa & Chris.
Melissa & Chris’s friends all thought they’d make a perfect pair.
It was the best kind of set-up.
They gave it a shot and found out they shared many loves.
From the expanse of a starry Eastern Washington sky overhead to boating with friends and hiking.
A year and half later Chris got down on one knee.
Melissa on how Chris proposed:
“We used to go to this old abandoned but adorable cottage-like house in Snohomish that I’ve been in love with since I first saw it. We would talk about how we would fix it up if it was our house and dream of our future there. On Christmas Eve, on our way to church Chris stopped at our dream house, got down on one knee and proposed. We hope to someday be able to buy the house, fix it up and have a family there.”

Molly and Auston are dear, dear, friends who love making silly faces together, turning discarded furniture into modern re-purposed relics, and playing with their pup, Olive. Molly’s going to be giving birth at literally any moment (she’s just past her due date) and we all can’t wait to welcome the newest member of the Sligh family into the world! Best Christmas present ever. Hands down.
