Disneyland really is the happiest place on earth—but somehow it’s even better when I’m there with you.

This weekend was everything: wandering through all the sights, reliving the classics, chasing the thrill rides (or at least attempting to), and making it our mission to try as much food as possible.

Still laughing that one of the biggest highlights ended up being baked potatoes—one loaded, one pizza-style—and both absolutely worth it. And that pineapple limeade with a watermelon popsicle? I’m going to be thinking about that for a while. Getting to share Napa Rose with you made it all feel a little extra special, too.

I’m sorry your back had to battle the Matterhorn—but I hope Big Thunder made up for it now that it’s finally open again.

I love you so much. Whether we’re off on little adventures like this or just curled up at home doing nothing at all, you’re my favorite part of it every time. I can’t wait for all the memories we haven’t made yet. ❤️

I love you

Happiest of birthdays to Lexus, the best partner a guy could ask for. I am so thankful you chose me as the lucky guy who gets to go through life with you. To go on late night strolls, random adventures, hikes, or staying in with a TV show or video game.

This week was a week to celebrate you and how much you have blessed my life.

I am so glad we got to share so many experiences together, and got to spend time with both of our families. I couldn't ask for a better, or more relaxing week with you.

Seattle was amazing, and I loved walking around and exploring the city and all the food and drinks it has to offer.

I look forward to many, many more with you. I hope to spoil you more and more each time as well. I love you

The last ~month or so has been great. Some solo adventures, some kitty shenanigans, and adventures with the best (or just cozy nights in). Here's to many more

600 miles of sittin and taking in the views

Put an SD card in my computer and didn't realize I had some older pictures on it. Here's a great headshot of Monica I found on there

Monica, I'm not sure how to put into words how much you have meant to me in the nearly 19 years I've had the honor of calling you my cat. Through all of life's ups and downs you've been there as a sweet and fluffy presence. Really all I have is, Thank You. Rest peacefully, sweet princess. You can play with your sister again.

Go out and ✨explore✨

March was a month. I'm not sure how it's nearly over, but here we are

Mars played peek-a-boo tonight

Tomorrow afternoon (1/13, 6:25 pm in the PNW) the moon will pass in front of Mars. Here's to hoping that we'll have fair winds and clear skies so I can get some pictures of it
