What is your current favorite memory?
The day i met Mike. It was my first time snowboarding in a few years. He was so sweet. He sat next to me at lunch (I was hoping for it). I remember when he took his helmet off I was thinking "WOW, he's hott". Haha. I thought he looked like Heath Ledger:
We talked about living in the south + UNC/Memphis basketball. He says I did some major flirting, haha. I stayed in the back (because I was tired, ha! + to talk to him). He gave me a look, I said I know what ur thinking + he said "Oh, we're at that stage now?" I remember feeling like I had known him for years. I knew he was special + there was more to come. The day came to an end + I was sad to say goodbye...but I hoped to see him the next day...
Starbucks or Peet's?
I guess Starbucks...I've never been to a Peet's. I usually just fix my own with my Keurig. I'm loving the Green Mountain Coffee Seasonal Blends (last season's [SPRING] Fair Trade Coconut Blend + Fair Trade Spring Blend). I haven't tried this season's Fair Trade The Perfect Peach + Fair Trade Summer Safari. My go to favorite is the Colombian Fair Trade Select. A splash of Horizon Organic half & half + 2 Splenda.

What's your favorite quote?
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin. "Love is the beauty of the soul." --St. Augustine
These are good too:
"When you are in Love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams."
Dr Seuss
Some of the greater things in life are unseen thats why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream...
