Hope your Halloween is fantastic. 🎃 I’ll be home eating candy and watching Hocus Pocus. 🎃 Today is my husband’s 40th birthday. I met him when he was a mere 27 and married him when he was 30. Lucky for me, because he’s the best guy I know. And I don’t mean that in a totally generic way that’s said to try to make a mediocre husband sound better than he is. He’s actually great, regardless of if we’re married or not (but I’m so happy we are). He doesn’t check Instagram though, so I’ll save the details for him. 🎂🎂🎂 I made a @milkbarstore cake for the first time to celebrate his 40th. (It’s the official birthday cake recipe from their cookbook.) It’s delicious and fun! It was a new method, but it went well enough that I’ll definitely try some more cake recipes in the book soon. 🍰 Today is my 10th wedding anniversary. 💖 The secret? I married the best dude I know. We're very good at being a team and no one's a jerk in our house. I think 10 years sounds like such an accomplishment but it was so easy. The absolute best.💘💘💘 Back to school. I’ve spent the last 12 days in an orientation/law fundamentals class to kick off my first year in law school. I took my first law exam today. Friday is a courthouse day, then another orientation day Saturday, then official classes start Monday! 🤯 A year ago I had no idea this is what I’d be doing now. But at some point I listened to my head and my heart and realized there was one thing I knew I’d be sad to not do before I die. So here I am. Happy marriage, love my house, have financial security, lived in another country, know I’ve made the right choice to not have kids, feel confident and happy, have worked on projects that mean a lot to me, and yet... being a lawyer wasn’t checked off the list. So here I go! 💖 37-year-old #1L incoming. Do the hard thing. You get one life. Sweet Toby. 🥰 Hard to believe it’s been six years today since he died. He moved all the way to The Netherlands and back with me, sighed in annoyance regularly but never got mad, and his ears were as soft as silk. 💖💖💖 (See the little wound that’s still healing on his nose? That’s from the time we went on a luxurious transatlantic cruise and he kept trying to bury his food instead of eat it.) 🐶 Just living my best Garlic Knot life today. 🍕 Tried a new (to us) pizza place this afternoon. Swing by @zolisnypizza if you’re near Dallas. 😋 Missing this sunset at Surfside. #NoFilter
