I know I've been away, but with a good reason: we've officially moved!! This should perfectly explain what I've been up to. ✨️ I'm in love with my backyard. Now who's coming for a visit?

I am truly the very definition of happy. I know it's completely cheesy and a stereotype, but I really think I am the luckiest woman alive. All you need to do is look at these photos and see the pure joy this man brings me. I cannot wait to be your forever wife.

On Mondays, we lift chest, even if your triceps are so sore it is hard to even drink water lol Having a hilarious gym partner definitely helped!
.
#Benchpress has never been my best lifts, but I was pleased with the progress I made today (on top of the soreness). I was able to get 75 to move pretty easily. To be safe I just stayed at that weight with a higher rep count. We finished the lift with some accessory work to hit the pecs from every angle possible.
.
Truly the only thing in my head the entire time was that J agreed to add deadlifts in tomorrow, as a part of back, so that we have a big lift every day (chest, deads, press, squat). I'm coming for you, deadlifts. I'm guessing I barely even have 2 plates, but it'll be fun getting back up there. Slow & steady!
.
In other news, whilst still related, I'm so happy neon is making a comeback because a neon yellow bra and tank really made me happy. Wait till you see my shorts that I just got. Maybe Wednesday.
.
It also seems that it's time to restart #ozempic now that we're seriously over this health scare I lost almost 30 lbs being sick. I have gained some of it back, but in a way that's a good thing: it means I have an appetite back and I'm not dying. Winning.

Tell me a story, Daddy: a photo series requiring no words. Don't worry little Banana, Daddy's stories usually knock me out too. 💕 (swipe for the ultimate cuteness)

Today is my sweet boys birthday, Duke of Gains. He turned 3 today!
.
How did he get such a weird name? It all started when J and I pulled up to our gym, late at night. I got out and heard a cry. I knew that sound. J thought it was a baby crying, but I knew.
.
I ran over to the median of a busy road, jumped into the thorny bushes. The crying got louder. It took a good amount of time to pull him out of this tangled mess, but finally out popped a tiny little kitten. He was dirty and covered in fleas, obviously hungry. We took him into the gym and used a gym towel to clean him up a bit. No workout today, we headed home.
.
Mind you, Duane, our roommate, didn't want anymore cats in the house. So what was a girl to do? We named him Duke, Duane's favorite boy name. But he had to be Duke of something? Gains for the gym. Duke of Gains.
.
I lied to myself. I swore I would foster him and find him a good home. Well, in a way I did. I sang him "Baby Mine" from Dumbo when he was scared. He bonded with us, and more importantly he bonded with Harley.
.
The two are now inseparable. They're kind of disgusting, tbh. He can be seen bathing Harley. If she grows sick of him, he bathes his baby brother Wade. If they're both busy, he will scream that Selina exists (can't like everyone) or cackle at toys.
.
Most of his pictures you can still see the sad, scared little median kitty. It is only the last few months that he's really started coming out of his shell, becoming more vocal and tearing toys to shreds. He always carries a look of worry in his face, but also pure bliss when he has his girl or his brother.
.
My sweet little Duke of Gains. Baby mine. Captain Cackles. Doodoo. Duke a Duke a Duke. Happy birthday!

I'm not sure how, but my little monkey turned 2 today. Wade Riggs Wilson. I was still recovering from the abscess in my arm, recently released from the nursing home. And April both brought him home and I knew. She knew what she was doing.
.
He had to fight for his life from day one, when he was found in the middle of a busy road, next to his sister, who was hit by a car. He came to me covered in her blood, dirty and riddled with fleas. We nursed him back to health. Then he got sick. We nursed him back to health. He later got an abscess, in the same arm as me. We later found out his vet suspected he has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. What are the chances?
.
He's so healthy today. No more fighting, just enjoying. He is our little scared boy, who only likes mom and dad (and misses momma April dearly). We had no clue he would be so big (though, those paws should've hinted), but he's a gentle giant. He will tuck himself behind your legs to sleep and cuddle you if you feel sick.
.
He cries for you to play fetch with his baby: specific orange rabbit fur mice wrapped in a spring. How they are decided is beyond me, but no other color will do and new babies are extremely hard to make. He still loves play fighting with his big sister, Selina (4th image/video). He doesn't really like fish wet food so everyone got chicken for his birthday. Though, he does like freeze dried fish. He has a sensitive tummy so everyone gets special monkey food (high protein hoity toity food) so he can stay happy.
.
Here's to so many more years with my little scared boy. My money. My bunny. Mr. Wilson. Captain Deadpool. I will keep making sure to let J know that you're the love of my life, my little man. ♥️ Happy birthday Wade.

In case you needed a sign to screen in your porch and create a huge catio, this is it. All of the lights are solar. Faux astroturf rug is coming tomorrow. Enjoy.

1 is the catio in its first two phases. We're moving this around trying to find the best configuration and adding lights.
2 is Selina in the door. Harley is playing on the tree and was is testing out where to nap.
3 is Wade getting in trouble for dragging himself along the screen, trying to get Selina to play.
4 is Harley... being Harley. Oh, and some weird guy that I love.

For something a little different, here are my favorite idiots completely mesmerized. They were there for over 5 minutes. What are they mesmerized by, you ask? Well, I was concerned too. I thought something was on the roof or maybe a huge spider was going to come down. Nope. A tiny mosquito. Like they've never seen a big before or something. My favorite idiots.

It's been almost a week since @jconkell and I went bowling with @aida_in_america and I'm missing her like crazy! It was so much fun, even if the darn pins kept having issues. They were just afraid of the awesome strikes Aida was throwing.
