Then and now — Happy Adoptiversary Maui! 💕 One year ago today this fuzzy face reached his paw out to me and climbed onto my shoulder. Chris told me not to get the first cat I saw, but here we are a year later and I’m so glad I didn’t listen to him. This little bubby flower has become the best thing in our lives and I love him more than anything.

My 2019 was basically a highlight reel of Maui 😻

An actual angel

In Paris, I...⁣ ⁣ Climbed 300 steps to the dome of a basilica to see a 360° view of the city ⁣ ⁣ Went to the coolest bookstore ever⁣ ⁣ Saw two French bulldogs chase a rat down the sidewalk⁣ ⁣ Learned that sandwiches taste better on baguettes ⁣ ⁣ Discovered the beauty that is hot spiced wine⁣ ⁣ Saw the most beautiful stained glass to ever exist⁣ ⁣ Learned how to ask for free water in French⁣ ⁣ Had a bartender who bore a striking resemblance to Harry Styles⁣ ⁣ Walked over 12 miles in one day (twice) ⁣ ⁣ Went to a feminist book club with women from France, England, Sweden, Italy, Denmark, and the US⁣ ⁣ Missed my cat more than I thought humanly possible⁣ ⁣ Spent a night playing The Lion King on a Super Nintendo in a craft beer store⁣ ⁣ Witnessed a proposal where the man was more concerned about whether the photographer he hired was getting good pictures than in whether his girlfriend was saying yes ⁣ ⁣ Ate snails and liked them⁣ ⁣ Ordered from a menu that was completely in French with no idea what would be served to me⁣ ⁣ Found a wall that said I love you in over 200 languages⁣ ⁣ Got lost in the Louvre ⁣ ⁣ Ate the most flaky, airy, delicious croissant in the entire world⁣ ⁣ Laughed, ate, drank, explored all over the city with Chris 💕🇫🇷

I didn’t spend all those years watching Passport to Paris for nothing 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

broadcast the boom boom boom boom and make em all dance to it

Paris thoughts, day one: feeling fancy, everything’s surreal, so tired, beautiful

If Wednesday Addams believes in bodily autonomy, it must be cool 🕸⁣ ⁣ #WednesdayAddams #TheAddamsFamily #HappyHalloween #MyBodyMyChoice #bodilyautonomy

I’m not saying Maui is the *most* perfect cat in the world, but also, that’s exactly what I’m saying
