Hello, and welcome to my first post of 2020!
I hope this year/decade/century/lifetime is filled with amazingness for all of you, and all the things that help you grow and give you love š
You know how time passes and you realize itās going, but you donāt really register the time? That was all of December. Christmas snuck up like a ninja, and now itās the first day of the new year. I havenāt blogged since LAST DECADE, and that is not the lazy kind of behavior I have planned for 2020. I almost missed this post, but decided writing it was more important than napping, and so, here we are. First day of 2020. The new year and new decade. Itās also leap year. What else is happeningā¦
Oh, yeahā
IāM GETTING MARRIED THIS YEAR!!
**dances aggressively**
A thousand smiley faces and high-fives and cartwheels I could never do when I was young (or now) but stillācartwheels for everyone! Batman and I met and started dating in Spring 2007 and this November 2020, we are *finally* making it official in the governmentās eyes. Itās been official with us for a while, but itāll be nice to wear the white dress and to see him all dressed up like James Bond, which is how he wants to look. Fine by me. Itās an improvement from the blue and orange Dumb and Dumber suits he was talking about a few years ago. Or coming dressed as Han Solo (which wouldāve been hotā¦but you knowā¦) so the fact that he settled on James Bond is A-OKAY with me š
Hereās a picture of us in case you forgot what we look like:
Heās in his Adam Banks 99 Mighty Ducks Jersey that his super awesome fiancĆ© got him, and Iām in my Hufflepuff House Sweater that the luckiest guy in the universe got me. We make a cute couple every once in a while. But never in the morning. Weāre gross in the morning.
I also got a stuffed ovary to go with my vagina (we previously had the eyeball and testicle). Batman got the skin, and I must say, the family is growing nicely:
Sorry to backtrack, but awesome gifts are worth mentioning. And hereās one more. If youāve followed my blog or a few months, or at least from the end of October, you may remember reading this post about writing the books and finding the readers, or you may have skipped it or started it and stoppedāwhatever your involvement, I basically stated all I had to do was write the books and find the readers (sounds simple enough, right?), and casually mention making it into a banner or plaque that I could conveniently place in the empty space above my window. Look what my mom got me:
Thanks, Ma! (And thanks to everyone who made Christmas 2019 a special one š)
Iām excited for 2020. Batman and I are still on our kick of losing weight for the big day, weāve decided to finally renovate and do some actual landscaping on the house we moved into in 2015 (we rent, but have permission from the owners to upgrade), and weāre planning an awesome honeymoon to HI! Iām sure new challenges are coming our wayāand Iām sure 99% of them will have to do with my carābut Iām ready for this year. Iām ready to say āI doā to the weirdo who argued with me about Sin City over twelve years ago when I was trying to check out our waiter.
Ten months and weāre official, babe.
What about you? Whatās happening for you in 2020? Or, I should ask, what are you planning for? Whatever it is, let’s rock 2020 š
P.S. Shout out to my dad and Sharon for getting me these *super* comfy and fashionably awesome jammy pants. I love them!:
