Took the photo on the left at Denver International Airport just before my Southwest flight took off to avoid the T'storms coming into Denver, CO on August 30th. Photos with the cute [gay] rainbows on the furthermost right were taken above Denver!

Mom, grandpa, brothers and I went on a walk yesterday and found this little alcove. Might just have to be our new swimming spot 💙

Saw Jurassic World Rebirth at our local Regal tonight and almost regret it. Not the movie, it was actually okay, but going to Regal at all. 45mins of ads PAST advertised showtime? And there were 10 minutes of ads before showtime, too. So, 55 total. 15mins of ads I understand, but this is excessive.

Got some bad news, and went to go see some fireworks. While I'm still processing everything and trying to get back to 100%, I think it's going to be okay. At least, I hope so.

to this guy, we always joke that you married not just mom--but me, too. And the truth is? You kind of did.

forever grateful to you for stepping into the role of my father, even during the time I was still calling you "Mr. Watkins."

I love you, Dad--Happy Father's Day!

Yesterday, we said goodbye to my oldest cat Oscar. Born on Halloween ‘09, she would have been 16 this year, but sadly her body could no longer take the fight.

Oscar was such a good kitty with an INCREDIBLY strong personality. I will miss her so, so much.

I love you, Oscar!

I checked and it had been 6 years since I last saw Oliver, and only a couple years since I last saw Jason. Glad we were able to fix that with a little window shopping and brunch!! Let’s do it again soon 💙

We sent this photo to Mr. Bova because of course we did.

Figured it was time for a profile picture change. This one is from that time I got on a plane for the very first time to go visit my friends Max and Kolin in DC! I was genuinely so nervous in this pic my second mom Heather took at Albany International Airport lol

Eevee in the background getting Mike Wasowski’d is the highlight of this screenshot.

Funny you mention it, because I just platinumed Astro Bot *and* Astro's Playroom this weekend! They are my only two Platinum trophies I've ever gotten. I made a video where I mentioned this achievement, but here's the screenshot I shared with it!
