Thanksgiving 2020

Original post author: Ryan

I took an unplanned year-long hiatus from blogging - What up with that?

Well, I don't know.  One of my favorite aspects of the blog is that it brings structure and meaning to my personal projects/hobbies - and my hobbies have been on the back-burner for the last 12 months.  My professional workload has been high; plus, Jess and I have been on a board game kick recently - perhaps some board game blog posts are in the future.

Let's face it - 2020 has been unusual.  Jessica and I are fortunate because we both kept our jobs.  Plus, for the first time ever, our rent didn't increase.  Many people said that 2020 was a year to reinvest in yourself.  For me, that definitely happened, and it was professional growth.

I hope I get back into the swing of regular blog posts.  But...I'm not going to commit to that.  If 2020 taught me anything, it's that I should just play the hand I'm dealt - and that I don't have any idea what cards are even in the deck!  We've drafted some loose plans for the next few years; the current world requires us to plan with a lot of flexibility.  We are excited to put those plans into action.  A wedding is certainly a part of those plans.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
