Was walking the dog today - there is a bus stop where I always put the poop bag in the trash. I walked up and she followed so nicely that I said "aww, you're a really good girl". 1/2

The Seattle Indie Bookstore quest continued today. Surprisingly a fair number are closed on Mondays, and a lot of others only open after 12. This meant today that 5 more stamps were acquired. 1/5 With @willbeason.bsky.social

Seattle Indie Bookstore Day was yesterday and kicked off a 10 day challenge. If @willbeason.bsky.social and I visit at least 5 stores each we will each get a 25% off certificate to use at any of the stores. If we visit all 33, then we will each get a 25% off certificate from each store. 1/4

T-0 Days A spectacular day, followed by a spectacular sunset wedding, and incredible party. We now move forward as husbands. With @willbeason.bsky.social

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

T-1 Days (slightly late) December 30 was the day to let the prep end and the party to begin. We were surrounded by love as friends from around the country converged on Houndstooth. It was a time for being in the moment. With @willbeason.bsky.social

T-3 Days Signs off to the printer, more friend based fun, one last bill played. In 71 hours we will be saying I do. With @willbeason.bsky.social

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

T-4 Days Early morning wedding coordinating, morning/afternoon hijinks with friends, late afternoon haircuts to be spiffy, fun dinner plans, then reading and more wedding prep With @willbeason.bsky.social

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

T-5 Days Now the fun begins as friends begin to arrive for the wedding. With @willbeason.bsky.social

T-6 Days However you mark the season, @willbeason.bsky.social and I wish you love and peace.

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

T-7 Days In a week we get married. It feels surreal that 51 weeks have passed since this countdown began. Tonight was all about Christmas and family. We had a gingerbread house competition. @willbeason.bsky.social was one of the judges. It was a blind judging, so the fact I won is pure coincidence.

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

T-8 Days Christmas means a small wedding planning break. With @willbeason.bsky.social

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

T-9 Days Kinda....I nearly missed it because I am nearly done with the second Stormlight Archive book. Then I will have 7 days to finish the third one. With @willbeason.bsky.social

020

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

T-10 Days Today was spent celebrating Christmas with @willbeason.bsky.social and his family. We'll be joined by others here on the day itself. Another bittersweet milestone.

020

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

T-11 Days Tonight was a game night....a bit bittersweet since it will be the last one in this house. As usual @willbeason.bsky.social ran an incredible Blood on the Clocktower- but a Christmas edition.

010

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

T-12 Days More progress all around. The goal is to have almost everything done before Christmas. We still have our unwanted guest ... though hopefully not much longer. With @willbeason.bsky.social

020

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

T-13 Days Today was spent getting things more organized for the wedding, working on Christmas decor, and tracking a mouse in the house. One of these was not on the list. We also kicked off the season social scene- having dinner with friends. With @willbeason.bsky.social

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

T-14 Days Two weeks! Today was all about finalizing arrangements. With @willbeason.bsky.social

T-15 Days The race is on to finish prepping for a full two week dash! With @willbeason.bsky.social

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

T-16 Days There was tragedy in the world this weekend. It can make this countdown feel trivial, and at the same time necessary. We can move forward in planning and embracing joy, while still acknowledging the work that needs to be done. One does not outweigh the other. With @willbeason.bsky.social

010

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

T-17 Days As our time in Philadelphia ends, @willbeason.bsky.social and I got to have a bit of winter. Tomorrow we head back to Austin tomorrow for the holidays and wedding.

020

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

T-18 Days We spent today wandering around Chestnut Hill and then spent the evening with @willbeason.bsky.social 's Oma. Totally feeling zen and relaxed - even when it started lightly snowing while driving.

040

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

T-19 Days Hello from Philadelphia. @willbeason.bsky.social and I are here to see his 96 yo Oma. She helped us reveal our wedding date on her 95th birthday. Unfortunately, she can't travel to the wedding so we came to see her beforehand. We will also be live streaming the ceremony for her.

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

T-20 Days A bit contemplative - one of my favorite bosses passed today. She was diagnosed with cancer two years ago, just months after retiring. Her last year before retirement was awful. This is a reminder to love deeply and prioritize your life over work. With @willbeason.bsky.social

020

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

T-21 Days Three weeks! Just three weeks. Today was also my first day of 4 weeks off! Much much needed attitude reset happening. With @willbeason.bsky.social

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

T-22 Days No updates today. It was a day is all I can say. With @willbeason.bsky.social

020

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

T-23 Days Marathon planning today - alcohol orders, charter bus updates, dj updates, pet sitter engagement, venue day of planning form. The officiant also sent her ceremony draft, making it all very real. One more day of work for me and three for @willbeason.bsky.social then we are off for the year.

020

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

T-24 Days Starting Wednesday I'll be off for 4 weeks around the wedding. When we started planning in January 2024, I asked off for the time 2 years early. I had no idea that I would be in the middle of a major IT project. Thus I spent today prepping for my backup. With @willbeason.bsky.social

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

T-25 Days Today was about getting Christmas in place! We are ready to festively welcome guests. With @willbeason.bsky.social

T-26 Days Fandom Friday. One of @willbeason.bsky.social's favorite holiday movies is A Muppet Christmas Carol. Tonight, he is going to a showing of it with a live orchestra in Seattle. I look forward to next year when I'll get to join him. 1/2

T-27 Days Not many days left to complete books 1-3 of the Stormlight Archive...not quite halfway through, but my goal is book 2 done by Sunday. With @willbeason.bsky.social

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

T-29 Days More wedding details today with the venue, the caterer, and the bakery. Also, across the country @willbeason.bsky.social met with the divas - a group of gay realtors in Seattle. Talk about tackling things from multiple fronts!

020

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

T-30 Days Wow! We are there - the final month. Today was productive, coordinating with the cake decorator and getting all 7 playlists and instructions to the DJ. I may be a little bit of a groomzilla about the music. With @willbeason.bsky.social

010

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

T-31 Days Highly productive wedding planning day with @willbeason.bsky.social. Alcohol choices made, preliminary seating chart drafted, and first dance song selected.

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

T-32 Days The details are coming together. Tomorrow is Will's last day in Austin for this trip. Monday he returns to Seattle. I will see him next in Philadelphia when we will be at T-19 days. Tomorrow is a big day for planning. With @willbeason.bsky.social

020

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

T-33 Days Today was the last TX Ren Fest trip for @willbeason.bsky.social and I (at least as residents). I've gone every year since 2000....and many before that. Will and I have gone together every year since 2018. It was bittersweet and spent with dear friends. Another milestone checked off.

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

T-34 Days In a world of chaos, there is still much to be thankful for as well. With @willbeason.bsky.social

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

T-35 Days Five weeks. As I prep for our final Austin Thanksgiving, I realize that each week will hold some final milestone. I have to take a (paraphrased) lesson from Way of Kings -the future comes quickly, focus on the journey not the destination. With @willbeason.bsky.social

010

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

T-36 Days @willbeason.bsky.social is home for the week! Proof I need downtime: At airport to get Will. Stopped to grab him water. Exiting and someone was trying to come in the same door, I step to the side, so do they...we went back and forth a few times before I realized it was my reflection.

010

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

T-37 Days Motivation Monday...or maybe not. As my days at work before I take off for the wedding shrink, my focus on the holidays and wedding makes it so very difficult to care about work. With @willbeason.bsky.social

050

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

T-38 Days Partial wedding milestone reached...Book 1 of The Stormlight Archive completed. @willbeason.bsky.social is drawing from the first 3 books for his wedding vows. Now I just have to finish Books 2 & 3. Setting a goal of 88 pages a day.

010

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 23/11/2025

T-39 Days The category is...... BOXES! One room completely full of wedding related boxes and items, another room with Christmas boxes. Both wedding prep and Christmas prep took major leaps forward today. With @willbeason.bsky.social

030

JayinSeattle @jtinaustin.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

T-40 Days Christmas decorating is 10% done. That's enough for a Friday. And also......40 days! That's a whole Noah's Ark flood - but we won't forget the gay unicorns. With @willbeason.bsky.social
