life is great but also have you tried pasta?

A pic of one of my babies for tax

I officially got promoted in October! I'd been working my but off to get to that level and I'm glad I did. I love my job and I can't tell rn if capitalism is draining me or if the job itself is too draining. Sticking it out for now, but we'll see.

My partner and I are exploring where we want to end up once we introduce his cats to my son and they can tolerate each other (we've been living together for months now, but the cats haven't been introduced).

But the biggest life update is that I am (legally) married to my partner! We plan to have a full ceremony in a few years, but we were worried with the turn the government is taking that it may not be legal in our state anymore. We traveled to Chicago to ensure for a good while that we're protected. Got some cute photos as well!

Afterwards we went out on a small "honeymoon" to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We wanted to get close to a national park. The first (obvious for me lol) choice was Mt. Rainer but we were advised to wait until it was a bit warmer. Got some cute photos

This is my favorite part of the Wish Voyage MV exclusively because of the dancing worker in the background. Like, why did they do that? They had to go out of their way to animate that. I love them for that

Look at that funky little man go

[ID: Idolish7 fanart of Ryou, Momo, and Yuki. Momo and Yuki are sitting together in a hot tub. Ryou stands next to the edge of it, grinning widely as he uses a giant spoon to stir chopped vegetables into the water. Yuki glares at Ryou, and Momo looks at the vegetables with dismay. There are more vegetables, a cutting board, and a cleaver on the ground in front of Ryou. Behind them is a post by @/utopians that says, "going up to a couple sitting in the hot tub of a public pool and starting to cut vegetables into the water and stirring with my big spoon". End ID]
