Jeez. Well, where do I start? This blog post has been on my to-do list for a long time.
Year 2021 will be remembered for continuously clawing back from COVID in the USA/World. Things kinda got back to normal, but people still remained nuts about it. Everyone still needed to be safe, extra clean, wear masks when required (planes, restaurants, doc offices, etc). But we tried to stay sane in an insane world!
As for the Opres, we had some exciting trips. We went to San Diego for two weeks in June, had a nice time there staying at the beach. We also went to Dollywood (TN) and a recent weekend trip to Boone NC to play in the snow. I think we went to FL a couple times, but we go there often. My brother and family came to visit us this summer also!
The girls are now 6 and 4, and growing like weeds. Healthy most importantly! I love spending time with them and try to break up my workday to check on them. I take them to school in the morning, then get my workout and back to the home/office. That's pretty much the M-F. They are learning to read, do math, and...push their boundaries!
I have been working with the girls on tennis - which Viviana really likes. THey both like arts/crafts and dacing/gymnastics, and also music! I also have them trying basketball, and soccer as well - as you can see in this picture above. We also joined the boat club and take that out almost weekly during the summer. The girls love it.
We got a bunny for them for Xmas, and now we have him (Bun Jovi), Maxwell who is 8-ish now, and 2-year-old Zoey. We had guinea pigs for a few months then handed them off to another family.
Christine is putting in hours (some paid, some not) for lactation consulting, and does that 1-2 days a week. She enjoys it and hopes to make it a full-time gig at some point. Now she just fits it in when she can.
I coached middle school boys basketball this season, the first program at Grace Covenant Academy. It was a learning experience! I continue to play hoops 2x a week and that is my primary cardio. I work out with weight the other 5 days, so keeping in shape as best as possible. I also went to my first Charlotte Hornets basketball game recently, and still play in monthly poker games with local friends.
Work is good - 2021 was strong year in the markets so everyone was happy. I enjoy what I do and help people work towards financial freedom!
I decided to wind down the charity (A Prom To Remember) and hand it off to Joe Dimaggio hospital, so they will continue proms there. I had been putting in alot of hours over the 12+ years and something had to give.
Let me PUBLISH THIS now before I forget to...and ideally I will update the blog more frequently. I turn 49 tomorrow BTW.
