Some things I’m thankful for:
Being in Idaho with the sort of cold weather
Living with my boyfriend after living hundreds of miles away for almost a year
Having Thanksgiving with my family
Finally having a job
But mostly it’s just being home. I forget how much I really enjoy Idaho (in spite of whatever shit I talk about it [...]
Wow, this job thing is tiring. I barely have time to read the blogs I love, let alone update mine.
That first day I was exhausted. After waking up at 4:37 a.m. to take Wes to work I didn’t have time to get back to sleep so I ended up just laying in bed and then [...]
I have a habit of searching crowds for people I know. It rarely happens that I actually come across someone I know well enough to stop and chat with and the few times that I do know someone passing on the street it’s usually they who have recognized me – a coworker, mostly. But now [...]

I had this whole post set to publish about how Wes and I met: The Story of Wes & dani, if you will. But after I sat down to write Wes’ card I realized that that story is far less interesting than what we’ve been through the last year.
First there was his move from Oakland [...]
Um, you know, just in case you haven’t. I’ve voted first thing this morning but have already managed to lose my “I Voted” sticker. And I’m pretty bummed about it. Half the fun of voting is getting that sweet sticker to show everyone that yes, I voted. And to get the free stuff that goes [...]
