Hi! Sort of an update, I posted about giving my girlfriend (it/he/she) a mezuzah for our anniversary a few months back. Well I did, and it went great! We had a cheese board, wine, and watched supernatural, and then when I gave it to her we both cried for a bit together. Apparently it was something she had wanted, but only really pictured actually getting one when she was somewhere that felt more like home, and was happy that got to be with me.

In more recent news, I decided to make him shabbas candle holders for chanukah this year. Well, intended for chanukah, but I got a little too excited, and he happened to have this friday and saturday off work, so I gifted them early. In a month or so he'll get to step down at work and have every friday and saturday off. It was so nice to set up the candles for him, and watching him call in his first shabbas made me so happy. Hes talked about how gender affirming it would be and how happy it would make him, and I'm so glad I got to help him complete this mitzvah. Shes sitting next to me now texting our friends and her mom about it with this huge smile on her face. I love her so much, every part of her, and I'm so happy every time I get to remind her. I should wrap this up so I can go play shabbas goy now so he doesnt start trying to do dishes lol. Shabbat shalom!(and an early happy chanukah!)
