In the blue

Before this two week Boise trip, we hadn’t been apart for more than a week. Maybe not even that long. The longest I can think of is when he went to SXSW earlier this year. I probably saw him the weekend before and soon after. I have a terrible memory. Can you tell? I know couples have survived a lot worse. I don’t mean to complain. But man, I’m going to miss him just for a bit.

This cutie and I have been dating for almost two and a half years. Pretty soon it will be three years since we first met. It’s funny to think of how we’ve changed in that time. We’re growing up. We’re not college babes any more, as he likes to say.

Outfit details: Erin’s wearing: Shirt/H&M, Shorts/Kohl’s, Shoes/Vans, Glasses/Bonlook, Purse/Anne Klein. Paul’s wearing: Shirt/Thrifted, Tank top/Target, Jeans/Levis, Shoes/Vans, Glasses: Ray Ban.

We took these photos a few months ago after going to breakfast at Swingers, one of our favorite restaurants in Santa Monica. I noticed this blue building and just had to take photos in front of it. Can you tell he’s over it at this point?

I leave for Boise on Friday. It’s going to be a fun road trip to visit family and I’m really excited. I’m also excited to reunite with this guy in the end though.

By the way, Paul’s sharing a midsummer playlist on the blog soon. His first post! :)

Note: I’ve had a draft with just the title “Matching with my guy- whenever it happens” saved since December. I filled it up with these photos and the words to go with and then pressed publish without changing the title. Oops! We’re not matching. I’ve just been wanting to do another outfit post/couple post/ get some portrait practice in ever since the first time last summer. Hopefully I can convince him to let me do these more often because I had fun!
