Well, I just kind of disappeared there, didn’t I?
The holidays started to kick into full gear, and I just rode that crazy tidal wave into 2023. Sorry for the total absence but it did me some good to step away for a bit.
Ridley loved his first Christmas! To be honest, that is the thing that I cared about the most this year. The poor boy has known nothing but torture before 6 months ago and I intend to spoil him absolutely rotten for the rest of his life. He was showered in toys and treats and now he really wishes Christmas was every week.
On the 30th, Melanie and her husband Nick came to town to engage in various shenanigans. She got to meet Moth in person for the first time and the boys all met each other. They ran off without us immediately to try some craft beers. We ate good food, bowled terribly (except Nick), and laughed a LOT. It was great time and I’m so thankful to count Melanie and Nick in our friend circle. ❤
On NYE, we hung out with Mr. and Mrs. Moth and their fur child (and BFF to Ridley) Noi. It was a very chill evening, just the way we like to ring in the new year. The fur children wrestled endlessly but we also forced them to wear pajamas for pictures. I would like to think we embarrassed them, but they seemed to enjoy themselves.
I for one, am ready for a new year. 2022 sucked for our household and I have hope that things turn around in 2023. I’m not sure whether or not I’m even going to try for any resolutions this go around. I might to see where the wind takes us.
How as your New Year’s Eve? What was your favorite part?

Friends in real life are the best!
I’m with you on the resolutions thing. Just see what happens and then claim afterwards that was what you intended all along 🙂
Haha, excellent suggestion. I’m definitely stealing that idea. 😛
I met Melanie through the blog world but it’s WAY cooler knowing her in real life!
Happy new year!
Happy New Year! I hope it’s a fantastic one for you. 🙂

Happy new year and the same to you, friend! 😀
OMG, those two Ridley pictures are so freakin’ cute. It seems like he’s always hugging your face with his face, which is totally sweet. And lil derp tongue in the second. Muh heart!
He is quite the little ham! He’s always snuggling. He will never turn a snuggle down, no matter how uncomfortable the position.
Aww Ridley is so cute!! And delighted to hear he had such a happy first Christmas!! We got a puppy in September, so I relate so much!! It’s wonderful being able to shower them with gifts and affection!!
Thank you! He is quite the handsome gentleman. How is the puppy life treating you? 🙂
