1 year on Goose Isle!

I can't believe it's been a year already. This is the longest time I've consistently played an animal crossing game. New Horizons is definitely my favorite. So far I've played 1,195 hours on Goose Isle!

My villagers all had a celebration today for the 1 year anniversary.

Tank and Ellie are the only 2 villagers left from my original 10. I'll probably keep them forever.

This is the very first picture I took, 1 year ago today. I wish I had taken more pictures during the beginning, but I didn't know my switch had a screenshot button.

I miss the beginning of the game so much, and wish I could play it again without deleting my island. I intended my second switch to be a way to do this, but now I'm attached to that island too and I don't want to go though the long process of resetting to find the right map again. The music was the best, and I didn't think it was boring or too slow at all. Instead I wish it had lasted longer.

Some more early pictures.

Yay Bunny Day is coming soon! I was so happy to see Zipper back on Goose Isle. Ophelia met him for the first time.

Two nights ago Goose Isle had a meteor shower, and it was about a year since the first one so I tried to take a photo in the same spot.

I finally saw my two lazy villagers having a conversation

A few days ago Maddie showed up at the campsite. I only talked to her once, and she immediately offered to move in without a card game, and she suggested Pecan to leave. I would've liked to kick out Julian, but Ophelia is still working on his photo.

Also today Livia got the golden axe recipe!

Ophelia completed Bunny day this year and it was lots of fun. I liked it better last year though because it was a lot easier to get the recipes and eggs. I wish the spawn rate wasn't nerfed. Bunny Day is still my favorite holiday and it makes me sad that so many people hate it and complain about it. Also Zipper is adorable and not scary.

And today is Rasher's birthday!

Happy birthday Deirdre!

Goose Isle has a lot of May birthdays including Deirdre, Tank, Ellie, and Livia.

Livia and Rover on the May Day tour. I was terrible at the maze. It took 6 tries for me to finally figure it out.

Ellie's birthday!

Ophelia got Maddie's photo. I'm a little annoyed that she got it before Livia.

Also Rasher asked to move out. I've been trying forever to get rid of Julian, but I also want to kick Rasher, so I decided to let him move and I'll use an amiibo (maybe Marshall because I'll need a smug villager) to kick Julian because he's being so stubborn.

Also the move out bubble is circulating again so I’ll try to get Julian to leave. I didn’t continue trying to kick him with an amiibo because I love villager hunting.

Some random pictures

Goose showed up at the campsite and of course I had to invite him to live on Goose Isle. He replaced Maddie.

One last group photo before Maddie left.

Livia got Buzz's and Cube's photos

and a second copy of Papi's photo. I'll probably give it to my second island to put in the graveyard. I've been too lazy to work on that island and haven't touched it in several months though.

Goose's birthday!

Now I'm waiting for the big update and not feeling motivated to play at all until then. I'm super excited about everything except Brewster because I never cared about him, and I also don't like that Kapp'n will be at the pier. He's going to ruin the way I've decorated it.
