Fireflies

Last week my fiance, Jesse, traveled to the great state of Iowa with the University of Oregon track and field team for the NCAA Track and Field Finals. He went as the team videographer, capturing all the great moments on film. 

When I found out he was going on the trip, I was so excited. First, because I am so proud of him for being able to do what he loves and being so darn good at it. Second, because I used to live in Iowa and regardless of how blah it is there I will always have good memories. One of my favorite memories of Iowa is catching fireflies with my brother and sister at night in the summers. We would have so much fun running around the neighborhood after the cute little bugs and carefully put them in a jar once they were caught. 

As Jesse was preparing for his trip I joked, 'bring me back some fireflies'! I was so bummed when he told me that he didn't even see any. Then, he gave me this shirt:

Amazing right? I love my new t-shirt and my man for the thoughtful gift!
