So I guess I took the summer off from blogging. Whoops! This post will catch us up to today, September 1st, 2019. A lot of really fun stuff happened this summer. I’ll touch on the highlights. For starters, Jake and I adopted a new dog! Well, sort of. This is Rosie (the small-ish dog behind Maya). She was my mother and father-in-law’s dog; we decided to take her to Alaska with us and to socialize her a bit.
