back to where it all started

i can officially say (or exclaim with pure joy!!) that i will be waking up here in exactly one month...

i knew mama and i were two peas in a pod, with her love for paris comparable to mine. to this day, a little over a year from our last trip, we continue to reminisce about the impeccable baguette, the idyllic gardens, and the picturesque way of parisian life. 

big things will be happening in the next couple years, so this getaway to paris will be that much more significant. me and mama. best friends in the city that will forever take my breath away. i like to think that it was in paris where i learned that love - this complex emotion - can make you feel so raw and alive and beautiful and vulnerable and grateful and, somehow, whole. i like to think that it was in paris where i was primed to meet the love of my life. 

and so now, as i embrace the love that is manifested through g, i will go back to where it all started. me, the most important woman in my life, and our insatiable appetites for all things delectable.
