I can't sleep.

This doesn't happen often anymore, so it's a little strange. (luckily I only have to work half a day tomorrow and can rest the rest of the afternoon, especially since I've been sick the last few days)

I spent nearly a decade as quite the insomniac, until I met Ty. Then, just as my mother promised would happen after I met the right man, I started to sleep.

Tonight, he's laying here asleep next to me while I look at pictures from the last couple of weeks, and I listen to my favorite Mumford and Sons, and Matthew Perryman Jones songs.


I already posted a picture for Photo Monday, but thought I would share a few more.
