Today’s my birthday!
And it’s also the birth of a new project/home/excitement!
And you are invited to celebrate with me!
This is my new home on the web.

I’m still friends with those girls and we all recall that night with fondness. They can’t believe you’re as big as you are.
But I can. I’m so proud of what you’ve grown into.
Hardworking. Silly. Smart. A great snuggler. Awesomesauce.
