My grandmother Kathy and I together at my grandparents’ 50th anniversary celebration. Hey Nana,
It has been two years to the day since you passed away. Saying goodbye over Messenger Video was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do–and it’s something that still haunts me to this day. I’m sure you’ve kept an eye on me, but in case you haven’t: a lot has changed.
For starters, Beauregard and I live and am based in Cincinnati, Ohio now–a rapid departure from the small town vibe of my hometown and where my family moved to a few months after you passed away, for sure. But I love it here and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Beauregard’s not impressed with me taking glamour shots of him at the vet. While it’s true I do work on some really cool stuff for [a very big company] now, I also started a company with Tyson, like I always said I was going to do. We’re a media production and web/design consultancy firm hybrid. You’ll recognize those are my two biggest passions aside from technology, and it’s something I know you’d be incredibly proud of.
My partner and I out for a walk in the park in 2025. I still think of you every time I see a cardinal. There are a lot of those here in Cincinnati, and there’s always one in particular that stares in the window of my partner and I’s office at my in-laws’ every morning as I’m doing my email. I often wonder if it’s you checking in on me. It probably is.
Love you always,
SladeLast month was a roller coaster, and honestly, July isn’t going to be any different. This month in pictures starts now!
Gotta soak up that air conditioning somehow. 
Time for a change! 
Me, too, Beau Bean. Me too. 
Hot Beta Summer! 
Oops, I did a thing… (It was for work, I swear!) 
Hello from Texas! 
Took this to show my mom my phone case, but figured I’d show you too! Playlist on streaming services coming soon!

I voted in the primaries here in Ohio! (My first election here!) Make sure you vote in the midterms in November too! This year’s NOT a year to sit out. 
That’s unfortunate. 
The sequel to breakfast for $599, it’s lunch for $899. Inflation is worse than we thought! 
My sweet Beau was waiting very patiently for the vet. 
Back to traveling above the clouds again! (Oh dear…) 
Hey D.C., it has been a while. I’ve missed you! I have a feeling I’m going to be back here a lot for work!! 😀 
I paid for this weather app on vacation because I felt like it was time. Best (worst?) decision I’ve ever made! (Much love to the developer. This has been Hat Maiden and I’s only way to get the weather since 2021!) That’s everything. June is going to be a short, but very insane month for me. Stay tuned.
