@traderjoes date night? Sign us up!

We flipped a coin to choose who got to pick the theme for dinner. Patrick picked breakfast 🍳 so we went from there!

Some of the best moments are spent quietly at home. I love doing everything with you @patrickivison 🩷

What should we try to cook next?!

We had such a great time at the @renaissancepleasurefaire !! I loved rolling around and seeing all the booths, shows & interactive exhibits. (The 🔪 throwing was pretty cathartic) @patrickivison hit his yearly max on honey samples. The accessibility was a little tough to navigate, so next time I think I would bring a power assist or power chair.

This weekend is the last weekend to go, so if you’re on the fence, now’s your chance! ❤️🎪

Patrick, a white man with long dark blonde hair pulled out of his face, wears a burgundy peasant shirt and uses a power wheelchair. Farah, an Arabic woman with long dark hair, wears a white dress with a blue apron dress over top, and uses a manual wheelchair.

We had a great time at @renaissancepleasurefaire 🩵 it was my first time and I had so much fun! The terrain was a little rough so I definitely would bring a power assist or power chair in the future.Recap coming soon 🤩

[Video Description]: Joci and three friends act as video game characters with floating text above describing funny things they did at the Ren Faire. Clip 1: Joci, wearing a beige renaissance dress with a red and gold corset, holds a wheelie with one hand looking scared, with text above reading “fell out of her wheelchair 30 minutes in.” Clip 2: Graham, a white man wearing a beige long sleeve shirt and brown renaissance vest, holds a wooden pipe to his mouth, with text above reading “bought an $80 pipe ‘for show’.” Clip 3: Farah, an Arabic female wheelchair user wearing a beige dress and blue corset dress on top, mimes pushing forward and looks annoyed, with text above reading “was called speed racer 10 times.” Clip 4: Patrick, a white male power chair user wearing a burgundy peasant shirt and black pants, holds an absurd amount of caramel and honey, with text above reading “spent a days salary on caramel and honey.”

Yesterday marked 10 years. I still make impulsive and questionable decisions, but at least now it’s just for the love of the game 😜

About six months into sobriety I saw a comedian say that “having an addiction is embarrassing because something as lame as a Natty Light could ruin my life.” I’m sure for him it was a joke in passing, but it’s stuck with me this whole time. I’ve seen addiction take everything from people, and my behavior and habits were following the same path. Sometimes I still wish I could have a casual beer with buddies or wine with dinner, but i know it wouldn’t end there. If you’re considering sobriety, I don’t regret this decision at all. #sober
