Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well. What a year it has been. The years definitely go by faster and faster as we get older. A lot has happened this year. My birth mom has continued to stay with my dad and I since moving back to the states after living in Belize for 20 years. I've continued to play Dungeons and Dragons when I don't have to close at work. I went to the movies a lot since I'm an unlimited member with Regal. I celebrated a lot of birthdays. I also made a lot of Tik Tok videos. In this blog, I'll be reflecting back on the year going through each month highlighting key moments or events. There are certain happenings that I won't bring up for specific reasons. So, let's jump right into it.

I couldn't type up every little thing that happened this year or else this blog would be too long. I hope you all have a happy New Year and until next time I also hope you all have beautiful days ahead of you.
