Nala's Caption

Patiently waiting for my to go pizza. This place serves the best pizza I've ever had.

Background Story

Nala would always talk about how much she loved a good coal fire brick oven pizza.  She wouldn't really mention this place though.  I think she might have forgotten the name.  She'd say something like, "There was this place back in Florida that had a coal brick oven."  We looked and looked in the San Francisco Bay Area, but couldn't find a similar restaurant within a reasonable travel distance for a pizza dinner.  If you get the chance, go to Grimaldi's Coal Fire Brick Oven Pizza, and please let me know how it was.

You can't tell from this photo, but you may be able to infer it from the fact that she only took a single photo on this day... She was in a funk still from yesterday - for good reason.  We fed off of each other though.  It was the early moments like these that taught me that one of us had to "block" the emotional feeding in order for us to ever have a chance to be happy on the bad days that life gives us.  One of us had to always keep the positive in perspective.  I decided to let that be me.  I'd be the strong one in this area for us.  Unfortunately, you can see from the photos and captions of my own below, I hadn't yet learned this lesson.
