Waitng.Worring.Praying.

Boyfriend is en route from ghana to dubai to new york, and fiiinally home on baltimore! but i've got this thing, when anyone i love is flying, especially internationally, (especially when its boyfriend who has neen gone for 6weeks!) i'm a nervous, fidgety, excited ball of nerves. But mostly i worry. my mind takes off with every possible worst case scenario, and thats all i can think about until i know for sure my loved one is home safely. its awfully tiring when the said traveling takes 27 hours!
i must stop worrying and trust God that he is in control and, if it's his will, he will deliver whom ever it is home safely.

boyfriend's birthday.

this past weekend was a crazy one!  friday-sunday was spend celebrating boyfriend's birthday, and his best friend's birthday too.  there was lots of manliness, whipped-cream faces, cake, home-made  pasta, roof-top bars, rain, birthday kisses(only for boyfriend, not best friend) bloody mary's, brunching, driving, and lots of time spent with my absolute favorite people.  here's some of the (many) pictures!

the dads... i made them go back out side after they had taken all but one of the burgers off.

unfortunately the waitress was too busy to re-take this picture... the shutter shadows will have to stay.

$5 bloody mary's... say whaaa?!

the birthday boys' girlfriends.

my best ladies. seriously, love these women so so much! and our lemon drops. love those too! 

that birthday boy in the middle will always try to be taller than his not-so-little brothers. 

the lost pictures.

ah. at last... i remembered to get my camera out of boyfriend's glove box!

  a couple of weeks ago boyfriend knew that i needed some "us" time. time to talk, hold hands, and plain ol' enjoy each other's company.

so he showed up to my house un-announced, gave me instructions to "wear warm things that you can walk in, and maybe get dirty" and took me out.  

 (before he can take me anywhere i usually stand in front of my closet wondering what he possibly has in store, and how i should dress. what does "warm" mean anyway?! )

well i didn't spend too much time, because i was dying to go on an adventure with my man.

and adventure we did.

peaceful pathway to the patapsco river.

that blue sky!  it was deceptive though, because it happened to be freezing!!

...the only picture of me... ha. 

he's my favorite :)

this is what he does when i say "don't pose"

do you love surprises, or are you a planner and need every detail before hand??

me: BOTH!
 i always bug him for as many deets as possible without giving anything away. i like to be prepared, but i L.O.V.E. the thought he puts into surprising me. it is hands down the best. ever.

have a beautiful saturday!
