Karen came to visit us in Canada and made this amazing cake. She’s a real good baker (even if she says she isn’t!) and I really enjoyed being able to eat her cakes.

Muja was one of those things that the exes randomly came home with for me and I lost my mind because it’s as big as I am. Muja is named after the world’s oldest alligator, who should be 86 this year. It felt weird to get Muja during such a tense time and I kept wondering if it was just like, a love-bombing instance? I felt weird about taking Muja with me for the longest time, but now I’m like, hey Muja, you’re my buddy.

When my dad first saw Muja, he laughed and went to get Michelle, saying, “That fucker’s huge!!”
