Matthias pointed across the parking lot, “let’s drive over there with the pretty orange trees, we’ll get our photo before the sun is gone.” And so we did that instead of going straight into the H-E-B to buy things for dinner. (I’m so glad my camera was in the car with us.) He doesn’t actually care about these portraits the same way I do. It’s just that photos aren’t his thing. But he knows how happy the two minutes we take for this daily makes me and he tries to be an active participant, instead of just letting me lead every single day. It’s something small he can do with me that makes my heart lighter. He’s a great friend & incredible partner.
We are cooking a tomahawk steak right now. He watched two YouTube videos of guys cooking them perfectly medium rare. Hopefully 1) it’s delicious 2) he doesn’t take two hours to cook it like the guys I was hearing in those videos. We’ll see... he’s laughing at me for making myself a sandwich while he’s prepping this massive steak, but a pregnant girl has got to eat.
