HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME AND LIZ!!!!!!!!!
Or, technically, belated...since our anniversary was yesterday and the day before. The 23rd is the anniversary of when we started dating and the 24th is our wedding anniversary, but we tend to just celebrate them together for two days straight ;D
AND SO I CAN FINALLY SHARE WHAT I DID FOR LIZ!!!!!! I had to keep this secret for a month while I worked on it, which is basically the biggest challenge ever for me XD
I made them a mixtape!!!!!
Ten years of being dorks together~~~~
That's right, I not only made them a playlist of songs, I turned it into an actual, physical object. I picked a song for each year we've been together and then wrote a note for each one- that's what the booklet is! I know CD players have become a thing of the past in a lot of ways (the last time I had a car with a CD player was in 2013? 2014?), but it's really meaningful to make things.
Look, sometimes you go to make a playlist about your relationship and you have to realize that Fall Out Boy has been a constant throughout XD
I had so much fun designing every part of this, including making a CD label. It's been far too long since we've done this!
You gotta have the cool image behind the transparent bit, it's so important.
I didn't take pictures of every page of the booklet because a lot of it is personal (and it was 16 pages long lmao), so just believe me when I say it came out beautifully and Liz loved it. They took it into work today to display on their desk ;w;
The other big news: We got another cat!
Welcome to the family, Genevieve!!!!!!!! ♥
I have sooooooooo many pictures of her already; she's so sweet!!! We got her from a local shelter and they told us that she doesn't like to be held...which like, okay, maybe she didn't want to be held at the shelter, but she's been crawling all over us. She's been in and out of my lap, my arms, and onto my shoulder while I've been working on this entry ;w; She just has a lot of love and sweetness to share with all of us.
I have more to say on her and integrating her with the household, but I'm hungry XD So, I will save that and more pics for next time ;D
