Well, this is it. My last blog post as Miss Hargreaves.
Today, Bill, the Facility Manager at work (not to mention, the loveliest Scott you’ll ever meet - perhaps, even, a gift from my Nanny) - brought me a very offical nametag reading “Jennifer Wilson.”
Yes, I am beginning to feel like someone new.
I’ve written and erased about a hundred sentences trying [...]

Like poetry, sometimes places or people ring true in the depths of you. And that is how you know.
It’s how I know one day I must go to Little Sparta’s Garden so my soul can keep growing.
It’s how I know to marry Ash this weekend and claim my glimpse of the sea.
And it’s how friends [...]
And I can post a sickening number of headshots if I want to. And I do. We were looking through old photos last night (sipping on a tidy, piccolo of Henkell) and we found so many pictures of us that we haven’t seen in ages. Do other people like to sit at the kitchen table [...]
I would love to write something not related to the next 5 sleeps.
But I can’t.
I’ve got one thing on my mind.
He’s tying his tie in the hallway mirror.

…Champagne Wednesday as fiance and fiance , we plan to spend alone.
I suggest you go to the Libra Room and listen to live Jazz over a Roasted Beet Salad with Boursin ($7) and a bottle of Il Mionetto ($18!).
As Ash tells me people in the smoky underground Chicago Jazz clubs say:
That’s it Charlie. You got it Charlie.

There’s a lady in California who writes a blog I’ve been reading lately. You can visit her here if you like. On her far right coloumn, she left this little quote:
“You don’t really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will [...]

The view from Seymour Mountain in Vancouver. This was in July. Within 30 minutes of leaving the snowy parking lot, we were laying on the beach in Deep Cove. I woke up with this day on my mind. I am so glad we took pictures.

This morning, the leaf mobile found a friend. I’ll show it to you in a second. First, you should know, I’m listening to this song and drinking Nespresso on the floor in front of the fireplace. Whiskey and I are wondering if the rain will lighten up long enough to go for a walk before [...]

Remember when I bought you that lamp?
I should have waited and let you open the box yourself, then it would have seemed like more of a gift.
Lamp from Poetic Home, the shop of Grace Light (could there be a prettier name?).
Grace has a blog too.
And now I have light.

My mom and sister gave us a Nespresso Cube for a shower gift. I actually screamed when I opened it. Ever since the day we went to register at the Bay and stopped by the Nespresso concept store, Ash and I have been dreaming of mornings with this sleek machine. And I am not, by [...]
