Well first of all, Happy 2011 SG! Its been a good one so far, almost_retarded and I have taken HUGE steps the past few weeks! All positive things, and all things that make me happy!
Lets have a recap of 2010. I'll make it quick, plus I'm having a hard time remembering everything, and since my laptop was completely destroyed I lost ALL pictures and videos that were taken the past couple of years MAJOR SAD PANDA....
I started my 2010 off with a pay raise and a promotion.
As the vast majority of you know, we moved in together last year, which was a big step for both of us, being so protective of our space and what-not. Well, we said "fuck it" and smothered each other with love, sex, food, and discovering that the other person shit DOES actually stink!
I also met his dad, we had lunch and I chatted with his aunts.
I got 3 new piercings and a sweet side tattoo in the summer.
My grandma flew out for a visit and I took her on some roller coasters.
The tattoo shop Mike worked at had a grand re-opening bash and we got sloppily drunk together.
My big sister joined the Navy and graduated from boot camp and is now in San Diego "doing time" as I like to say.
There were some random meet ups with SG members and chatters
I rekindled a civil relationship with my estranged mother
I was roomettes with skwhale for a good part of the year, we didn't always see eye to eye, but we did go to shows, get lots of stoned together and even cried on each others shoulders once or twice.
I bought a car, and then sold a car.
We had a cute first Thanksgiving in our place together.
I spent some time with my family on Christmas, it was even tolerable and I feel like the older we get the less we fret about the past, and I like that.
Christmas, almost_retarded and I totally began being super gay together, and we sent out "Seasonal Cards" I say seasonal because neither of us is religious, and the holidays are surrounded with religion and so I try to stay away from it. But who doesn't love presents and cards? See spoiler
And, then on midnight at New Years, Mike said something like this in my ear:
"Lets get married"
It was more like a yell, since we were in a bar and had just shouted happy new year with fellow bar people.
Here is proof.
It was actually extremely romantic and has already made my year.
And then that brings me to today. I have been looking into adopting a dog for maybe the past year. I've been looking for the right one and ended up finding TWO!
I found a rescue site that fosters dogs until they find their Forever Homes. Well, I found a dog I liked. Emailed for about a month with the foster mom and she stressed that the pup I was interested in was extremely shy and intimidated as he was a rescue but that once he warms up to you, it is totally worth it. I was okay with that, he was already just the dog I wanted.
She offered to also bring his brother whom she was also fostering just in case I liked his personality more and bonded with him.
Well, we met them and I loved both instantly! The more intimidated one even got cozy with Mike pretty fast, we were very surprised. He initially said we couldn't get both, but I couldn't adopt one and bring him home and be sad and depressed without his brother. So, we got both! We are now proud parents of two beautiful doxies. I'll post a picture later though, Mike says we have to bathe them first before we show them off!
We're letting them get comfy with the house first. So far they have each found a favorite corner and haven't moved. The foster parent warned us of this and said it would take time and we have to be very patient. This is what we signed up for!
wow, what a doozy!
