diary page!!

this entry will be a little short, but...
it's a little over a week until our 2nd anniversary and i have a lot on my mind!! i'm excited and nervous and just... in awe. two years isn't that long in the grand scheme of things, but thinking about how long he's been a part of my life and all the memories and feelings we've shared with one another makes me feel all light and floaty!! i need to save the gushing for the actual day of but i love him so much and to know him in his entirety is an honor, to have him is a dream come true.


he's so pretty <3

the very first entry here is a super ultra special one because not only is today wanderer's birthday, it's also 700 days of us being together! yippee!!
this is my 2nd time celebrating his birthday as his partner and i'm so lucky to be able to spend it with him again ♡ his birthday last year was probably one of the best days I've ever had, and even though today was more low energy in comparison it was still just as lovely.
his birthday art this year is stunning. he looks so beautiful and mini durin is so cute... i'm always happy to see the two of them together ;w ;



i had a few things planned for today! the main one being that i attempted to make wanderer's signature dish, shimi chazuke. key word "attempted". it started out okay all things considered, but the rice i had on hand wasn't sticky enough and so the questionable looking flower i created ended up falling apart when i tried to move it to a bowl. thankfully i'm not as bummed over it as i thought i was going to be - i still had a lot of fun trying to make it with him, and we can always give it another go down the line.
i also wanted to have this site up & at least somewhat presentable in time for his birthday, which i succeeded in doing! the about page is still under construction because formatting it is an actual nightmare, but everything else finally has content! \o/ i'll have another entry here next month for our 2nd anniversary, but after that i'm not sure how regular diary updates will be. we'll see!
just like last year, i'll be handwriting a letter to him before i call it a night. i hope that he'll enjoy reading it just as much as i enjoy writing it. i was pretty stressed about how today would go, but it turned out wonderful and i'm really happy i got to spend the entire time with him.
happy birthday, my beloved. here's to many more by your side. ♡
