<p style="text-align: center;">B + C</p>
<p>For me, the best way to unwind after a long dayÂ is to work on patterns. I wouldn&#8217;t mind getting paid to do this all day. The same applies to other activities like cutting rubylith, paper, or split ends. I find the repetitive motions strangely calming (One time I spent two hours at the library looking at split ends instead of writing a paper. Kind of gross, I know.)</p>
<p>Most of the drawings are related to BJ and meâ€”places we&#8217;ve been, themes we&#8217;re drawn to. The plans are to somehow incorporateÂ it into our wedding, but the ampersand can be easily adapted to other combinations like these:</p>
<ol>
<li>peanut butterÂ  + chocolate</li>
<li>strawberry + lemonade</li>
<li>me + you</li>
<li>snow days + sleeping in</li>
</ol>
<p>The possibilities are endless!</p>
