Golden year ended, many awesome things happened, also some sad. I don't think I could've had a better year. As for notable events that weren't blogged about...
I'm a mommy! He's little and furry, but I totally think it counts.
His name is Bazil. ( As in Bazil of Baker Street... The Great Mouse Detective)
That's his name because he looks like a little old man, and to us, Bazil is an old man name. Especially with that white hair coming out of his ears!
We got him on November 16, 2013 from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. He was 8 weeks old when we brought him home (the picture above.) We've decided his birthday is September 4, considering they never can really tell you the exact date.
Here are some pictures that span between when we got him to now...
Playing in the Fall decorations, as I attempt to get them put away.
He was teeny tiny when we brought him home. We took him to the vet about 2 weeks after we brought him home, and he weighed 2lbs 7 1/2 oz
Cat and boxes... Of course he had to find the skinniest one to prove he could fit into it.
Yup, he believes the bed belongs to him...
as well as our faces.
My mom brought her sewing machine to my house while Troy and Scheli are living there. Bazil thought he needed to help with the mending.
He loves blankets! He falls asleep in such strange positions sometimes.
He wants to be wherever you are so even my purse will do as a bed.
We gave him his first bath. He looks so weird wet. He's all white underneath! He did good for us, but he would much rather remain dry.
He is our little baby. I, in fact, call him "Baby Kitty" when he is being all snuggily.
I get to spend lots of time with him and he makes me laugh multiple times a day.

As for the other big event....
I'll give you the embarrassing story first.
I was getting the Christmas Decorations out for the year. I saw that this little Santa decoration had come apart from it's base. This was seriously, the cheapest decoration I had... I needed to get this big glob of hot glue off the base so I could make a new spot of fresh glue. In my mind This was the best tool for the job....
Well, I hadn't been working at it a minute when I decided that sawing it off would be good...
The knife slipped, I felt a small poke, and thought dang, this isn't going to work... Then I looked down at my finger to see if I had even broken skin, and saw this...
I had to have stitches, of course. 5 total. Houston held my hand the whole time, because I'm a huge baby. If you look closely at the picture above, you can see fatty tissue coming out of the bigger cut. When Houston was watching them numb it, he said it was really gross because that numbing stuff makes it swell more, so more of that tissue was coming out. I didn't watch, so lucky me I didn't get to witness that.
So, my $0.50 Santa decoration, turned into $404.50 Santa. Most expensive decoration I own now.
Now lucky you I took pictures of my finger healing process...
Lucky me, I didn't cut any tendons, so it was literally just healing up the skin. But now my poor ring finger is even more mangled than it was before.
Well that's it for major events. Well, I did go to Disneyland again... That will have to be in another post.
