One year ago today, Jessica and I spent 2 weeks in Europe; Jess' first ever trip. Most of that trip was in Paris, which as it happens is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, maybe the most romantic.
On our second day in Paris, we made our way to Notre Dame, and meandered our way behind the cathedral to this beautiful little garden:
From there, we were properly inspired to continue roaming around the city, learning quickly that this sort of unplanned, random strolling was the best possible way to see Paris in the first place. We found our way to a private corner of Île Saint-Louis, onto a little bench right on the river Seine, and began thinking about all that must have happened at this spot over the years.
It was one of the most soul-satisfying moments of our lives, somehow totally content in a place neither of us had ever been, and (as you can see) even on a cool and rainy day, we felt as alive as can be. We now credit this moment as our emotional muse for finally deciding we would start trying to conceive, the result of which is so much more beautiful, our son Liam Seine Galloway.
