I definitely want to write this now so that I don’t forget about it if/when the mood shifts. My boyfriend is kind of a keeper.. just a little bit though. This first part is going to be a little  late, but for Christmas not only did he get my a slew of gifts, but he made me a snowglobe with our pictures in it! Is that not cheesy? Not only that, but he also said: so that you always have snow with you, even when you’re back home when he gave it to me. On one side there’s this lovely picture of us that we took on Halloween and on the other is this ridiculous frame of him attacking my face and me trying to escape his grasps. It was cute and unexpected and I keep it on my desk, shaking it up every so often to watch the faux flakes and glitter fall. Speaking of flakes, today was my first snow day! Pretty much the entire city of Providence was shut down because of heavy snow fall and Brad walked around the streets with me, putting up with my childish antics of puddle jumping, mound building and the occasional slip. We even had a snowball fight (my first one) by the river before heading back to school for hot chocolate. The second thing I wanted to mention in this post before I forget: he brought my favorite flowers to work the other day because we had kind of a shitty night. And by that, I’m not referring to intoxication. Often, when it comes time to shut off all of the lights, if I’m not completely exhausted, I stay up thinking far past boundaries that should be breeched. I don’t want to get too into it, but I became emotional and Brad kind of just rubbed my back and cuddled next to me. The next day was the one where he showed up with flowers, kind of as a silent sign of acknowledgement - or well, that’s how I took it. At any rate, tomorrow Im going to make a vase out of a water bottle and maybe post a picture of my tulips (which are out of season yet he still found).
