To say 2020 was one for the history books is an understatement. This was an awful year in general. So much happened and it was exhausting. This year felt like 5 years. But at the same time, it is hard to believe it is coming to an end. Despite how the world looked in 2020, it was actually a pretty awesome year personally. If it were a normal year, I don't think we would be in our new house and I definitely wouldn't have learned and experienced all that I got to this year. We still have some residual 2020 that will follow us into next year. Hopefully things will get better. There is def. a "new normal". There is a vaccine, and hope for another stimulus package including PPP.
I will happily say farewell to the dumpster fire of a year, but also thank it for the good parts. fingers cross that we can get back to having events (especially since that is my livelihood), and that Ryan and I stay healthy.
