2021.
That feels like a breath of fresh air. Almost. There are a lot of unknowns on the horizon, and I’ve gotta say that makes me nervous.

But that also doesn’t mean 2020 was all bad. Yeah, COVID threw a wrench in things and brought with it a lot of less-than-ideal situations. But, after some reflection, I realized because of the virus, Tim and I got to spend almost a whole year together. I was only away at college for a month and a half before I was sent home. We then finished our semesters in a shared workspace, helping each other with essays and motivation. Almost a whole year, that’s the most time we’ve spent together since we started dating two and a half years ago, and I’m SUPER grateful for it. 😊
So, what does the new year bring? I’m not much of a “resolutions” person, but I’ll be doing my best to look for the positives, the joy in every day. Right now, I’m looking forward to a couple of things:
- I got a raise at work!
- Continuing to write, both creatively and as a freelancer (need any jobs done? Send ‘em my way!)
- Working my way through the stack of books I got for Christmas
- Trying out any number of new recipes on my Pinterest board
- Traveling (I’ve got my eye on Europe again…)
- Oh, yeah! And my wedding! Looking forward to life with Tim ❤️
A year in review (left to right): Jenna bought me my first bubble tea, and I’ve never been the same; I got a job making donuts at the end of May; Tim and I went camping with some friends in June; I went to Ocean Isle, NC with Tim’s family in July, soon after our engagement; Tim and I went to the pumpkin patch during our first full Fall together; these entremets are my proudest bake of the year; I had a wonderful Christmas season with those I love most.
