Today Domingo and I celebrate our tenth anniversary. Being a numbers kind of gal I thought it would be fun to try and quantify the last decade.

The last ten years by the numbers:
- 3 different places that we’ve lived together in three different cities: a town home, a third floor apartment and our current home.
- 3 of the most amazing girls in the world, objectively speaking. I’m totally not biased.
- 18,526 diapers and counting
- Too many earthquakes to count: 583 during one three week swarm in 2015, 6 months after we moved in; 347 in the last year.
- 1 tsunami.
- 1 furry friend forever in our hearts.
- 14 visits from the tooth fairy (and possibly a fifteenth one tonight!)
- Not 1 but 2 visits from a herd of feral pigs.
- Countless laughs.
- Zero moments I would have had it any other way.

There’s no one I’d rather shelter in place with. 14 days down, 37 to go.

Chatted with the pest control guy about pigs (which are back after a two day hiatus) when he came for the gopher. According to him the city where his in-laws live did a controlled release of two tagged cougars to drive the pigs out.

I couldn't find a news article to confirm, but I couldn't resist sharing anyway.

Chatted with another neighbor about the pigs. Noticed he was no longer using the flashing light animal deterrent. Apparently that's because the pigs took/ate it.

Well this is a new one...
As seen from our back yard. Possibly an escapee, but (according to the internet) also possibly wild.
