Some of my favorite things, with a few easter eggs

Some of the things that make me smile:

Being cozy while it rains

Playing Animal Crossing or Super Smash Bros. (Lucas main)

Cooking together, slowly perfecting recipes

Making a holiday pie for the family

Tiki drinks, bubble tea, clarified cocktails

The smell of lavender

Exploring new foods and places with Natalie (my wife, who my last name comes from)

Starting the day with Monocle Magazine and an espresso

Exploring new places and foods

A walk during a crisp autumn day

Playing tennis in the spring

Sending a gift to friends or family, just because

Hugging our dog, Emerson

Bomber jackets

Finding a cool enamel pin
