WENTWORTHS + MAIA

I'm sure you've all already figured this out already, so you can spare me your sarcastic surprise. Just officially letting you all know that Maia and I are back together. We talked it over with Kylie and got her seal of approval, so no more trying to hide it anymore.

TEXTS TO JUDE

-- Morning.
-- Let's go get breakfast today.

Happy Lunar New Year!

I only know a handful of things about my surrogate mother, but one of the things I do know is that she was Korean American, her family having originally come from Busan. I became interested in learning more about that side of my heritage once I was old enough to really understand that it different from the rest of my family and my dads were really supportive and helpful in letting me explore it. There is still a lot that I haven't experienced and someday I am going to just jump in and plan that trip to visit South Korea, but until then I do what I can to embrace my heritage here, in whatever way I can.

And so, today that looks like making tteokguk and jeon! I've only made both a few times before, both to varying degrees of success, so any wishes of luck are appreciated. The recipes also make a lot, so if you're looking to try something new, my kitchen is open.

All that said, I wish everyone a wonderful and satisfying new year. I hope it's full of new beginnings and overflowing happiness.

I don't know if you knew this, Dunhaven, but today is apparently National Spouse's Day. I didn't know this was a thing, probably because I am behind on most things thanks to things like Homework and Reading and Wanting To Be A Doctor. However, if there is one thing that I can get behind, it's a holiday that celebrates spouses. And while every day might be Appreciate Your Spouse Day in the McKinnon household, I'm all here for sprinkling on a little extra love and attention to mine.

Because, I don't know if you knew this, but my husband is amazing. He's smart and he's funny and he's talented beyond all reason, but he's also kind and compassionate and the best sort human that any human could strive to be. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have not only caught his attention when we were fourteen-year-old nerds, but that he still loves me so entirely now that we're 22-year-old nerds. Getting married at 18 might not be the right choice for everyone, but it certainly was for us and I'm happy every day that we were impulsive.

SO anyway. I love you, Miles. 🤟🏾

Okay, now everyone go off and appreciate their spouses, too. Or your significant others. Or your pets. Or your friendly local pizza delivery guy. I don't know, just spread the love because the world can't have enough of that, as far as I'm concerned.

Well, hey, Dunhaven. For those that don't know me, I'm Kiera and if you tune into WRAV during the morning, I am one half of the team that graces your commutes/time spent getting read/breakfasts/etc.

So, this past year, the radio station has done a bunch of giveaways for trips and all that. As we finish planning out our year, I wanted to see if the community as a whole had any additional suggestions on games or giveaways or prizes we might give out that you'd be interested in. Concert tickets? Shows in DC? Just more trips around the country or world? Trivia stuff? What's your fancy?

Obviously I can't promise any of this will actually happen as I am but one voice in a team of several and really don't have a lot of weight to pull around. However, suggestions can be made and I'm happy to be the one to do it.
