Because I really don't enjoy free time, this past year I also threw a very cool baby shower, decorated Christmas trees, left a job and started a job, said goodbye to some beloved cats, fostered 4 kittens (and rescued several possums), moved, met a perfect human man, got engaged, bought a house with him, fumigated that house, and now we are planning a wedding and remodeling our home because one thing for me is not enough, and neither are two to seven. Good thing he is very patient.
Here's how he proposed (at the recently defunct River Oaks Theater where we made out in the bathroom on our first date):
Since then we've had a freeze, we've had some political turnover & important movements, we've dealt with the COVID state of the world, we've had a few good friends get married, a few good friends find out babies are on the way & see those babies come into the world. It's hard to sum up the last two years but they have been wonderful and terrible but since this is my blog here's a brief timeline of highlights, I'm sorry so little of it included blogging about a renovation:
