22 Years, 2 Months - A Checkpoint

  since my last checkpoint, i've:

  • gotten married (!!!)
  • started my own podcast
  • learned how to cook some pretty yummy crockpot chili
  • went to my very first wine tasting at a vineyard in Richmond, Virginia
  • cried. a lot. like, a lot. what else is new, though?
  • had shitty days at work
  • went on one AWESOME honeymoon in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
  • bought lots of new indoor plants
  • started a beautiful crystal collection
  • started running again
  • remained consistent with writing
  • gotten really, really sick
  • took much needed time-off of work to recuperate from said sickness
  • finally replaced the windshield wipers on my car after five years of owning it
  • tried to learn how to calm down during stressful moments
  • been proud of myself for overcoming different obstacles
  • worked a lot of hours
  • visited my nephew and brother and sister-in-law
  • gotten a new tattoo (!!!)
  • been mad at myself for not carving out time to read any of the books sitting on my shelf
  • had some pretty scary news
  • started a savings account with joey, (which was a super big deal)
  These past couple of months since my last check-in have been chock-full of life changing moments. Plenty of awesome, sad, proud, and scary moments have come to pass, but "that's just life". It's been nice to look back and re-read my old checkpoints in this series. I'm excited to document my thoughts and journey for the next eight years of my life, and I'm glad you're here to join me.
