This bag may not look like much but to me it really is so much more than a trendy Yeti Camino 20 bag.
My 30th birthday was back in the middle of summer, and this is what I asked my boyfriend of nearly 2 years for. Of course what I wanted was out of stock and he couldn’t order it.
So we waited….and waited.
We waiting 2 months and I had basically forgotten. I mean any other boyfriend I’ve had would take it as “she won’t remember and I’ll save myself the $130”, right?? That’s how it always was in my relationships in the past.
Last Thursday he said, “your bag will be here next week.”
HE REMEMBERED. HE HAD BEEN WATCHING.
So again, I know 2 months is 2 months and this bag is just any ordinary yeti bag to anyone else.
To me…it’s him prioritizing me and making me feel loved. Making me feel like I’m important enough to remember a gift that I didn’t necessarily need. Him knowing birthdays are a big deal to me and keeping track of the specific item I wanted to make sure he did something to celebrate my 30th.

Ok ok ok, I do not want to keep him JUST bc he got me this bag. Lol
I love this man and I love how he shows up for me and my two kids. In many many different ways. And I plan to expose and navigate thru all those things in this blog. But in this moment I just wanted to brag about him and remembering something so simple that any other man has never cared to do.
That being said, it’s ok to have high standards and high boundaries and high expectations, bc one day you will tell those “high must haves” to someone and they will accept everything you need and run to the end of the world and back for you, letting you know you aren’t too much, but just enough. 🫶🏼
Xoxo, S
