If you don't want to hear how much I love this man, stop here. This was taken on our wedding day in Iceland as @matthewlud & I drove up the wild coast towards hot springs & waterfalls. . . : We'd met five months prior to this photo of him picking me flowers on the side of the road being taken, and I was pregnant with our daughter Eulalie four months after that. To call it a whirlwind would be an understatement. He was a tsunami. 🌊 . . My life changed in one day. My whole world expanded. Sometimes I try to wrap my mind around what I would do without him. And I just can't. My greatest fear in a relationship is my love fading. It always has faded. I've never been able to make it more than a year or so without feeling like my relationship was more roommate than romance. Until him. I'm 34 and this is the first time I've ever still had butterflies years later. Or pterodactyls. Yeah, you give me pterodactyls, babe. Apropos of nothing, I love you. . . When I think about all of my mistakes in life, of all the suffering, I know it was all necessary to lead me to this place, this family, this life. It's all a journey, the good and bad. We never "arrive". We keep walking. If you're somewhere less flower fields and more scorched earth in your life right now, know I was there too. There's always a corner to turn. Keep an eye out for it. #livemoremagic #milklovescoffee #marriage • • • • • #feelfreefeed #thatauthenticfeeling #seekthesimplicity #inspiremyinstagram #verilymoment #theartofslowliving #aquietstyle #momentsofmine #littlestoriesofmylife #postitfortheaesthetic #momentslikethese #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #pursuepretty #darlingmovement #abmhappylife #simplepleasures #morningslikethese #still_life_gallery #searchwandercollect #livecolorfully #theeverydayproject #todays_simplicity #flashesofdelight #darlingweekend #gatheringslikethese #livesimple

My two favorite people in the world, the love of my life / the hottest guy I've ever seen @matthewlud and our baby girl Eulalie. When I look at them, I can't believe it. It's unreal that I have such a sweet, loving, beautiful family. Negotiating children and marriage is no small feat. My marriage is a huge priority to me—we fell in love fast and hard and it was mental and I never want to lose the pure, electric magic of "wow—you're my husband!" But pregnancy & the subsequent breastfeeding days took a toll on me physically that I'm only now starting to see fall away as Eula eats more solid food during this 2nd year of her life. I'm sad(ish) to see that time with her fade but extremely psyched to feel my body becoming mine again. For me, my marriage is a baby we have to take care of too, and I prioritize it as such. When she's grown and gone, we'll be the last two standing. Without love everything turns to ashes in my mouth—my career, the travel, my home. It's nothing without him. Sharing this life with him gives me deep joy, as deep as motherhood. As my mother says, I'm a one owner dog, and I reserve my vulnerability for my partner. It's just how I'm wired. I don't have a posse of best friends. I don't want that. I just want these two, and I put them before the whole world. It simplifies things, to be sure. #slowmotherhood #livemoremagic #milklovescoffee . . . . #habitandhome #livethelittlethings #theeverydayproject #thehappynow #parenthood #momlife #motherhood #nothingisordinary #marriage #EulalieWilla (at WEEKENDERS COFFEE)
