#Year in Review

So long 2024. 2024 was a great year for me. I feel, more than any other year, that I grew a lot personally and professionally. The year was highlighted by doing hard things with my wife and daughter and, for the most part, enjoying them. There was a lot that happened. I exercised a lot, drank less, came to terms with work, and spent a lot of time thinking about building a house. I also slept better for the most part, which is such a big win. I coded more at work and less at home which is something I'm going to try and do more of in the future. All in all it was a great year.

It's been quite the year. By far the biggest in my life. I raised a baby from newborn to toddler, I got a new job with the Forest Service, leaving the BLM and my Dolores office after 15 years, moved from Dolores to Durango, demolished a house, and designed and started building a new house. That is a lot of big things and at times it felt like too many big things. But I'm happy for all of them.

Warning: This is probably way too long. Sorry.
