I may or may not have peeled off my mom’s old inspirational wall sticker to create this little masterpiece of angst 😂 (we’re in the Netherlands, still settling in but things are starting to come together)

On this day 6 years ago I left work an hour early to meet my then-fiancé at the ward office to get married. To this day I have absolutely zero regrets we never had a wedding. ☺️💚

Today is いい夫婦の日 (good marriages day) in Japan. It’s not an official holiday or anything but more a play on alternative reading for the date (11-22)

Anyway we are celebrating by trying out some of the new winter beers and this one was very nice!
