  • 😮 We have a new baby in the house! He's a six-month old tuxedo kitten we just adopted! Isn't he beautiful? My first cat was a tuxedo, and I think they're gorgeous! 😍
This boy was living in a foster home, and he's super relaxed and affectionate already. 
This is his adoption photo. I'm sure I'll be posting some more photos of him. Who else has a tuxedo cat?

  • I've been driving this new Mazda CX-5 over my Thanksgiving break. I can't tell you how much I LOVE it—from the way it drives to all the high-tech safety features. 😍  Our family's been making the most of our long Thanksgiving weekend, and finding excuses to drive the CX-5 all over town. I don't want to give it back! 😢

  • I recently got this photo and a few others of my grandfather on my mother's side. He died when he was just 41, and  my mom was 10 years old. He was a handsome guy and a veteran.
