We’re back! After more than a year, When Can We Leave? has officially become Did I Tell You? because apparently we had enough life updates to justify changing the name.
Since we last talked, Kristen got divorced, Alyssa got pregnant, and somehow we still found time to argue about Independence Day, judge the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, shop for raccoon teeth on Poshmark, discuss what parts of Alyssa’s baby Kristen would like to keep, and witness a neighborhood fireworks display that may or may not have involved children transporting explosives.
So basically, nothing has changed.
