Hello hello and happy Friday Faves.
First off, thanks to all of you who wished us a happy anniversary last week. We had a grand time celebrating it by cheering on our favorite San Francisco 49ers from the Levi Stadium sidelines as they whomped Tom Brady’s Bucs. I surprised my husb with a last-minute, impulse-fueled trip to commemorate our first vacation together which happened to be a 49ers game with my parents, and the first time they met my boyfriend-who-would-eventually-become-my-husband. Luckily, the martinis shared in the hotel bar between my man and my mom all those years ago sealed the deal.
Lastly, these past three days have been like living in a snow globe because the snow.has.not.stopped and I am 100% here for it. My dream is to be snowed in like in one of those Hallmark holiday movies, and nothing would make me happier than to be snowed in for the rest of December. Especially if I was eating the last of my summer-time pesto over ravioli with a fave Caesar salad. Who wants to join me?
On that note, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow so we can dig out of our houses and dig into this week’s Friday Faves.
