Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego

You know it’s been a good date when the only evidence of it is this❤️✨// Though I wish we took a picture together today, Matt Rogers truly knows how to make my day. He is the sweetest, goofiest, and humblest person I know. And the way he loves on me and others always leaves me speechless. I’m trying not to be sappy, but when I’m with him I forget about the world around me ,and sadly don’t end up documenting it. But that’s fine, there are many more days to come where we will be running around ,and thus many more pictures waiting to be taken. And though the only thing I have from today is this video he took of me, I will never forget the memories we have already made. @ratmogers I think I may like ya a lot ❣️ #sorry4beingsappy #happyprevday❤️
