    Many people believe it's important to live alone at least once in your life. Although I'm not quite doing that, I do get some alone time here and there in my condo and thought today I'd take you guys along for a few days of living solo.

    There is no “recipe” book for relationships, if you feel ready to live together before your 1st anniversary, do it, if after 10 years together you don’t feel the need to get married, that’s fine. Only you and Jason can tell how things are going and we can all see how happy you are with him! Hope it’s great, you deserve all those good things coming your way! Love you Monica!

Love watching both of your videos so I can see downtown Seattle since I don’t work down there anymore. Miss the views but not the commute. Miss Pike Place Market too!

    My boyfriend and I moved in together as friends even though we always kind of had a thing for each other. We were 20 and going to the same college and were both looking for a roommate. We never wanted to cross a line past friendship because we never wanted our friendship to end in the chance we got into a relationship and it didn't work out. We're 26 now and are a few months from our 6-year anniversary. We hit a few bumps after our honeymoon phase but living with your best friend, working through problems and navigating stressful things together really solidifies knowing that they're the one :) Do things on your timeline. You know what's best for you.
    Edit: a perk of moving in as friends was getting a two-bedroom apartment at the time. We live in Downtown Toronto so we're thankfully in a rent-controlled unit with enough space for each of us to have our own little office area which has been a blessing now that we work from home. It's been fun

    I love how you mention living alone can be lonely at times, because this is so true in my experience. I have a family with children, but travel for work throughout the year. I'm always excited to get the alone time, but have moments where I feel very isolated. However, I think isolation is a good thing for the mind, and it keeps us strong as an individual. Definitely don't recommend cooking anything with plastic. Even though it says safe there are carcinogens that still enter the food in low amounts. However, we endure many carcinogenic items/food that can become high amounts when combined.

So happy for your DT condo arrangement and the joy you get from time spent there! It must be fun to see the weather coming in from the Sound to the west. I used to live above Pike Place Market and miss it, the food aromas and sounds in the morning. Glad to hear your relationship is so seamless and a comfort with good company. Cheers Monica!

    Funny, when me and my now wife dated first years ago, she pretty much did the same, like it just happened accidentally. She was staying over almost every night, but was still going home to her place every day for a bit to get clothes or whatever needed to be done. I guess it just happens like that, there was no “we’re living together now”, it just flows that way.

    Huge milk chocolate fan!!! I live in Europe now and have easy access to all the great milk chocolates from Switzerland and Belgium.
    Back when I lived in California I only ate dark chocolate because I got influenced that it was "healthier". But turns out it always made me sneeze and my mouth tingle because I'm slightly allergic to it and can't have it in such high concentrations. A really good high quality milk chocolate doesn't give me any reactions and tastes amazing. I never eat dark chocolate anymore. Milk chocolate for the win :)
