WARNING: This post contains extremely mushy content. Proceed at your own risk.
I don’t tend to get very mushy on the blog, and I usually keep the content focused on running or eating piles of food. Today I am going to explore my mushy insides and share my Saturday evening with you all.
Saturday morning I went for an 8mile run..check! Saturday evening I went to dinner at a friends house. I’ve had dinner here a few times, and this is where I discovered grilled pizza. In fact, it was this time last year that I had dinner over at this house for the first time. There is something special to me about this house. Being inside gives me a warm cozy feeling that sweeps through my whole body. There are many reasons why I love this house, but none of them add up to why I really love going to dinner here.
It’s not the unique decorations.
DIY coffee table made from a lake sign, and a fancy schmancy mirror.
It’s not the adroable succulents.
It’s not the hippie vibe.
It’s not the chickens.
It’s not the view from the back porch.
It’s not the yellow plum tree, full of fruit.
It’s not even the amazing meals that are ALWAYS created between friends.
Pasta with a TON of veggies/vegan cheese. Homemade vegan icecream sammiches.
None of these are the reason why I love going to this house for dinner. This house belongs to a former coworker of mine, and this is the first place I ever hung out with Manfriend. The three of us had dinner together this time last year. Shortly after this three way dinner date, Manfriend and I started hanging out alone, and well..the rest is history. It’s safe to say each dinner adventure I have at this adorable house I fall in love all over again.
I cannot get enough of this face
Memories are powerful, and the feeling I get when a good one fills back into my mind is unlike any other. To continue the mush train, I have been obsessing over this song for months. I turn into mashed potatoes when I hear it.
Q: Do you have any memories that constantly reside in the front of your mind? I remember the first time I discovered my cat was photogenic.
Please make this larger to see the top two photos better..you’re welcome.
Definitely all mush-worthy! Nice to see that side of you
.
Oh Paolo Nutini turns me to mush too!
Nice to meet mushy Brit my friend, this is so cute
Cheers

Wow, you aren’t kidding your cat really is photogenic! I could totally see those pictures in some sort of halloween cat calendar or something haha! I can totally understand why you would be mushy about that type of memory. I will have to check out that song, by the way I totally love how you said “I turn into mashed potatoes when I hear it”!
That’s totally adorable!!! We’re in our first real house that we both own together right now so that’s very exciting. We also have some sweet memories in my old apartment in the Dominican Republic.
Your mushy post was totally justified and melted my heart a little! I always think it is amazing how powerful a certain setting can be!
Priceless. This post is adorable. A lot of little things like this remind me of my boyfriend (who is currently deployed. blerg!)
OMGGGGGG2EEEE
1. I JUST posted a TOTAL MUSHY USHY blog. We are twins (again)
2. I frickin love that song!!! You should listen to this one too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDRikYZh7o0 …. it is Mr. Speedy and I’s love dovey song.
3. I love all of your pictures. I love that you and man friend have been going strong for one solid year. Many more to come. xoxo
4. You ran 8 miles!>!> BEAST MODE.
I totally dig that cover of cinema, much better than the original! Although that song regularly plays in my spin class..so I always feel like I should be pushing pedals to the medal when I hear it.
I know, I looooove this cover too. The original is a total beast work out song so I can understand why you’d want to spin to it. It makes me want to run like a Kenyan.
Awww I LOVE it! Super cute!
Awww so sweet. You look so giggly in the photos. Good for you!
This is adorable Brittany… bring on the mush, I love it! Just so cute and you look positively happy
Love this! That looks like the coziest spot ever. My first date with my FH is a memory that’s always in the front of my mind – I tried to dump him! Luckily he convinced me to give him a chance. Best decision ever.
I want some ice cream sandwiches, ASAP! Also your cat looks like a freaking riot! Those pictures are cute and hilarious!
He seriously completes me!! I love that fur ball! Bahaha.
Cute post!
Such a gorgeous song! Have just added Paolo Nutini to my Pandora!
Such a gorgeous post. I am so happy for you and had NO idea that your relationship is this fresh. Such happiness!
You look absolutely divine in the plum picking photograph! So thin and pretty! Dress by Express? I think that my sister owns it in every colour and pattern.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
PS: What did you have for dinner on this past Saturday night?!
Dress is from Nordy’s! Gotta love there annual sale! I have many dresses like this, your sister and I really are one in the same!!
For dinner I had that delicious pasta combo on the red plate, with a vegan ice cream sandwich for dessert! SOO freaking good!
You even sort of look like my sister!
Am sending you a photograph of her now!
hehe, love it. xxx
Once again, I love your cat (and I am not a cat person.) This is a cute post, I’m happy you are happy! Happiness is contagious!
Call me mushy but reading this left me with the biggest smile ever…and filled me with so much warmth! Every time you talk about the manfriend, it’s so clear how much you love each other and I love how he supports you..e.g. pink laces, vegan eats, running the half with you and so forth. Hold on to him tight, he seems very special
awwwww that is the cutest thing ever!!! Made me smile at work
love the mush – such a nice way to start my morning!
Awww..this is too sweet! And wow, that house sounds amazing too!
I always have fond memories when I pass the street my friend used to live growing up. I was there all the time, and it was one of my favorite childhood memories.
Mushy mushy, just like stuff that comes out of a tushy.
Wow, I definitely just came up with that QUOTE and uh, lets just say I am having an immature day! LOL!!
Awwww I love mushy! This whole post made me all kinds of happy! I love hearing this side of you, girl! Makes me smile. Every time I go back to my alma mater where Christopher and I first met and started dating and had our first kiss and got engaged and had our wedding reception… well, it just gives me all kinds of warm fuzzies. Love it!
Loved this post!!!! I always get feelings like that when I return to places that remind me of people I love, its the best feeling. My husband and I’s first date included climbing this huge tree in a downtown park and every time I see that tree I get a big smile on my face
, same thing happens with songs 
there’s nothing wrong with mush
your cat is adorable btw!
One year of great food, laughs, love and running! I adore you and thank you for everything that you do for me.
I LOVE YOU
OMG!!!!!!!!!
My heart has melted!!!!!!!!!
I need to send you guys a present.
I love the mush!
Paolo’s other song, Last Request is awesome too!
Agreed! In fact, it came on my Pandora RIGHT AFTER I read this comment..no joke. It was sorta freaky!
What fun! Apple picking is so romantic.
Love your cats, they look kinda crazy!
Aww this is a lovely post, I don’t care if it’s “mushy”, I’m a ridiculously overemotional and overly romantic person so reading this just made me smile and think about all of the things that remind me of Tom, my boyfriend. For me there are several little things that always make me feel a bit mushy, certain songs, the perfume I used to wear when we first got together, certain places…
Im allll about mush. My insides are constantly mushy. No nerves of steal in this chick!
Aww beautiful post! I definitely get nostalgic whenever I visit my grandparent’s house in Brooklyn. My grandpa has passed and my grandma is too sick to live there alone, but we still visit the house often. It reminds me of my childhood. It’s awesome to have this memory of first meeting your man!
So so sweet, Britt – a bit of mush once in a while is good for the SOUL x
Your dress is so cute!
oh this is so sweet! and I am loving the look of those ice cream sandwiches!!
Adorably mushy! How did you get the co-worker to move out?
