Yesterday, we celebrated T's 39th birthday. The first birthday we celebrated together was her 24th, just a few weeks after we met - absolutely bananas that we have shared sixteen of her aniversários together already. She chose cheesecake over a traditional birthday cake, a wholeheartedly supported decision.

T and I spent a much-needed day together. We took our time enjoying each other's company in the morning before leaving the house. Then we headed to Hartford where we browsed a bookstore, ate shrimp and grits and jambalaya and explored the Wadsworth Atheneum. T was ecstatic to see her first Yayoi Kusama exhibit in person.

By the end of the day, we both felt inspired, satisfied and grateful.
