His uncle will officiate, and his aunt and my son will be witnesses. Jett and Marty will be our ringbearers! We have a special dog backpack so Jett can make the trek. Later on, we’ll have a big party to celebrate. We’ll ask guests to wear ❤️ 🤍 or 🖤. I’ll wear red, of course ♥️ #americasfavcouple

but Jett became so depressed he couldn’t walk, and we wanted to lift his spirits. That’s when Marty came into our lives. Does that make us married now? 🤣 We often daydream about our future wedding day. We’ll hike up our fave mountain with his aunt and uncle, my son, and the pups. #americasfavcouple

I didn't want an engagement ring; I wanted a dog! Three years later, we adopted Jett! If only he knew how expensive that dog would become! But Jett is the bestest gift of commitment a girl could get! We never expected to have two dogs at once… #americasfavcouple

Image of a text message exchange that reads: Wed, Apr 3, 2:01 PM MIKE: Hi Sera, my name is Mike- friend of the REDACTED family. I understand we may have passed each other on the Holyoke range already.... was wondering if you might be interested in meeting for a coffee sometime? I've heard such nice things about you. Take care. Wed, Apr 3, 5:37 PM SERA: Hey Mike. I've heard good things about you too, and yes, we've probably crossed paths on one mountain or another. Coffee sounds good. What does your schedule look like, and where do you suggest?'

I moved a year ago an we have a big yard in the countryside. I’ve never gardened an never had any interest before, but it’s been fun planning what to do with it and cleaning it up. It was a wreck when we bought it. I just planted about 100 sunflowers 🌻 along the back of it. I hope they grow tall!

✨Surprise✨ Due to a bit of shuffling in Random House Worlds I will be moving from BOOM! to Inklore. I will be taking on Inklore’s growing list of manga localizations and the robust Disney Manga list. ☺️💜 This truly feels like a decade-long full circle moment since I’ve always wanted to work in manga!
