ben and i went to mfa today for a couple hours. he needed to look at a painting for a paper he's writing on moses, so i decided to tag along. it felt really good to talk about art with him. made me remember why i took all those classes in the first place ( Read more... )

off to spend the day with ben's mom, so we can get to know each other better outside huge family events.
