Year 1: We get a gerbil named Parsley.
Year 2: We get a Persian cat named Waiana and a [name_m]German[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] named [name_u]Valentine[/name_u].
Year 3: We decide to write a book and get it published. It is an apocalyptic story about a bounty hunter and a smuggler on a space-rig that is a failed experiment. Everyone is a potential enemy in this story. And the twist? It takes place in two different timelines.
Year 4: I liked writing that book so much that I started working as a freelance writer.
Year 5: I was diagnosed with a latex allergy.
Year 6: We decide to move. It’s a tiny house in a quaint neighborhood but is in terrible condition when we buy it. The colors are like that of library shelf full of old books. The yard is enormous, and we immediately take to trimming it neatly. Some of the children in the neighborhood claim fairies live here.
Year 7: I decide to switch gears again, and go from writing books to hosting a podcast.
Year 8: We decide to buy a FX Cruiser.
Year 9: We decide to get a [name_u]Maine[/name_u] Coon cat named Alyra.
Year 10: We got a huge sponsor for the podcast! Things are really taking off!
Year 11: We get a British Shorthair cat named OJ.
Year 12: We re-do our home. We completely redo the closet including new doors, add lots of organization to the kitchen, adding batten, and new floors.
Year 13: [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] decides to join a soccer team.
Year 14: We go on a trip to Doha, Qatar for a week.
Year 15: This time we go to Islamabad, Pakistan for a week.
Year 16: We move again. This house is bigger and more modern, but still in bad condition (we love a fixer-upper!). The inside is open and airy, with lots of windows. The yard is smaller and much easier to maintain.
Year 17: [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] gets a promotion!
Year 18: We get a Pomeranian named [name_m]Zair[/name_m].
Year 19: I decide to write another book. This time it is a medieval fantasy story about a peasant girl and a goblin who are caught at the gates of the palace after the king disappears. [name_u]Magic[/name_u] is banned all across the land. I was inspired by stories of medieval Japan.
Year 20: We decide to get a Bengal cat named [name_f]Hanka[/name_f] and a Siberian Husky named [name_f]Camilla[/name_f].
