Change

In the past 4 months so much has changed I'm not even sure where to begin. COVID-19 aka the coronavirus has taken over the world while the US can't seem to collectively understand the actual danger of being out in public and not wearing protective gear because "freedom" and it's all a Democratic hoax while they're putting others at great risk. In the midst of all this, a white police officer essentially murdered a black man due to putting his body weight's pressure on the back of his neck and protests/riots of sparked up all around the world crying out for police brutality to end.

On a personal level, things seem to be getting better exponentially. In the past year, my wife and I have 100% paid off both of our vehicles, student loans and credit cards. In the coming year, we (hopefully) will have found a house we love and have enough in the bank to be able to pay it off. Then, at 36, we will have finally reached our dream of being debt free. Beyond that, we'll figure it out but as it sits right now, we're laser focused on making that a reality. 

Work is going well, I'm getting great reviews from my boss and we've got our annual department survey coming up that will give me anonymous feedback from my team, which I'm pretty excited about cause I feel like my team is in a really good spot. We're in month 3 of working from home, which is really weird because it doesn't feel like it's been that long. Not really sure when we're going to be back in the office and I'm ok with that. As long as I don't have to go to work and be fearful that I'm going to get sick and die or that I"m going to pass it on to my mom then I'm happy. 

I've taken up woodburning, which is a little different than anything I've done before. I'm not great at it but with time I feel I can get pretty good. Just wanted to post a quick update on where I'm at. 

My mom got great news in her last chemo appointment. They're recommending her to have chemo every 6 weeks rather than every 3 meaning the cancerous area is shrinking!!

That's all I've got for now. Until next time... stay safe, stay humble, stay true.
