In case you missed it, the animal shelter is going to have an adoption event on Thursday. All cats, from kittens to seniors, are going to have their adoption fees waived. If you're looking for a new friend for home, definitely consider seeing if a future companion is waiting for you at the shelter.

10 Reasons Why My Husband Is Awesome:

1. When he leaves the house before me, he leaves breakfast out for me to eat before I start my day.
2. He knows my diet inside and out and has learned as much as I have about what foods help and hurt my health issues and he uses that knowledge to make sure he's always providing the best options for me.
3. He's so patient. My Bad Mornings aren't quite as frequent as they used to be, though still as unpredictable, and he never makes me feel worse for having to change or cancel plans, or for having to care a little extra for me while I work through it.
4. He's the only massage therapist that I trust with my long-term care plans these days and he is, frankly, a magician at his job.
5. He is literally the best Dog Dad despite us only having our doggos for a short time.
6. His smile is super infectious and especially so because he doesn't just give them out carelessly. Getting one of his smiles is special.
7. He gets me and loves me even when I'm being especially stubborn (always).
8. He's So Damn Beautiful?? I mean, how does this human even exist??
9. He makes life feel less scary and the past feel like it was all worth it to end up where we are right now.
10. Sivbarat. Zethetet. You're the only one who needs to know that one.

How's everyone doing? By the way, Kesi and I just tied the proverbial knot. Who wants to grab dinner?

Hello, friends! With it being two weeks into 2020, I've been working pretty steadily on my planner and getting all of my exciting dates for the new year sorted out. I like having things to look forward to, especially since I'm packing my last semester of undergrad full of credits, and one of those things I'm looking forward to is this five year anniversary that I will be celebrating in March. Thinking about it has me all full of warm fuzzies and since it's been a while since I did one of these open forum sort of things, now seems like a good time.

So, here's my question! What is your meet cute? AKA how did you meet your partner? Give me all of the heart eyes with your stories, please and thank you.

SISTERS

I super adulted this week. Picked a major (they were hounding me about that AND I COULDN'T DECIDE WHICH I WANTED TO GO WITH) AND got my first paycheck from my job at the Wellness place and totally paid rent ON TIME and didn't spend it all at 5 Below.

I deserve a cupcake or something.

VET OFFICE & ANIMAL REHABILITATION CENTER

Hey this is super unprofessional and I know I should call butsorry. Do you have any requirements for part-time-still-in-school-work? Like interns? It doesn't even need to be paid work, just like, learning experience. I'm an Animal Sciences student, but I've only got like, one semester under my belt. I figured I'd apply later on but I want to make sure I have everything covered before then, if that makes sense?

MARAUDERS & SIBLINGS

Hi, is anyone available tonight to come feel sorry with me and sit and drink hot cocoa in our PJs and watch horror movies and eat ice cream?

Tall British tree turned out to be my dreamer soulmate* and it went back home to plant roots in the UK. I expected it, but I'm still sad and don't want to be sad alone.

*Snape's opinion doesn't count.

[KHANS + FRIENDS]

MAYDAYMAYDAY a very hot man just checked in at CC. Coming in for the Lyon wedding?

He's British. He has an accent. It's lovely. HE'S lovely. I want to climb him like a glorious tall teak tree.

[Stones & Perkins]

Now that Thea and I are more or less completely moved in (minus a few boxes, but we just won't talk about that), what would you all say to celebrating Thanksgiving here?

To be clear, I'd definitely need some help cooking, but we've got a nice new kitchen and I can't imagine that anyone with a kid under 1 wants to be hosting much of anything. (No offense.)

so HELLO, dunhaven! apparently me committing to staying here indefinitely meant i'd have an email show up ten minutes later with login information for dunhaven's very own network? so weird, but i'm down for it.

i'm jessie! i'm the new girl running around with literally the coolest bloodhound, blink. feel free to come up and say hi to us when we're out! neither one of us is a biter.

Dunhaven, meet Asher Hikaru Perkins. He arrived last night and I've barely taken my eyes off him since. Both he and his mom are doing well and we should be home soon. We'll definitely let visitors know when we're ready for them.

The clinic will be closed through the rest of the month, outside of emergencies. If you need a referral elsewhere in the meantime, I can get you one. Otherwise, I'll see you and your furiends in November.

TEXT TO THEA

-- We're having a baby!

TEXTS TO CATY

-- Hey, Caty.
-- I wanted to let you know that we just got to the hospital.

GROUP TEXTS TO REMI & LYRA

-- So any positive thoughts you can or want to spare are appreciated.

FILTERED TO LIAM

Do you ever regret telling Lyra and Remy about your dreams?

TEXTS TO LIAM
-- 25 days and counting!
-- Also, we're going to attend Yuri's birthday party on Sunday afternoon.
-- Also also, when did pickles become the most disgusting food on the planet?

Baby Boy Perkins is going to be arriving in less than two months! However, just in case he gets any funny ideas and decides to turn up early, our nursery is officially ready for him.

So, hello! I'm Ezra. I'm new. Well, newish considering I lived here almost two decades ago? I'm not sure how many people I might have known back then are still here, but I would have been Aurelius Class of 2007 had my family stayed in Dunhaven, if that helps.

Anyway, I probably wasn't all that memorable, either way, so let's just pretend I'm new! I'll be taking over ownership of the local zoo, and am incredibly excited about some additions we'll be making to what we already have here. We'll officially announce those once some of the details are a bit more cemented, but it's going to be pretty cool, I think.

That being said, I've got nothing going on until Monday morning, so what suggestions do you have for me rediscovering Dunhaven?

To celebrate it being the day AFTER National Sugar Cookie Day... I haven't decorated a single cookie. It's been bliss. 😂

Thank you to everyone who came in and took advantage of the buy one, get one free deal on our cookies. It made all that decorating worth it. I hope you enjoyed your decadent treat as much as I enjoyed making them for you. I took a break today, but I'll be back at it tomorrow.

Any special requests for the weekend?
