COVID 18th

Believe it or not there's both of us in this photo.  Tresa is in her element.  Floating in the lake like she's on the couch. 

It's our 18th wedding anniversary and this year we are just steam rolling through our house.  Making the changes we have been planning and working on it together.  

It's been a lot of work.  But it feels amazing the results.  Especially when it turns out better than you would have thought and when you do them together.  

Sure we have had our sessions of head butting.  But as long as you make progress together and accomplish things together.  That's all that matters.  It is really great for Kieran to see what we can do if we set our minds to it.  More importantly... If we try.  It means that HE can accomplish anything.  That nothing is unattainable if you find a way.

18 was a year where the world didn't stop.  But changed forever.  Sure you could wish or hope for things to go back to the way they were eventually.  That summer heat will eradicate the virus.  Miracles can and do happen.  But in reality you either adjust with it or you go nowhere.   And wash your hands!

If there is one word to describe our 18th year together it's together...   the amount of progress we did in our home.  I couldn't have done it alone.  Well I could.  I couldn't have accomplished it on my own.  By which I mean,  it wouldn't look nearly as good.  And wouldn't be as fulfilling.  Help is always welcome.  But getting in there and being a big part of the change.  And wanting that change.  That makes it even better.

Before we did the floors.  Kieran was asking about when we were doing it.  I wasn't sure if he was looking forward to it or dreading it.  I'm sure it was the former, because he said he wanted a new bed frame.  So did Tresa.  And now we are working on the garage and reorganizing it and making it better...together.

I'm looking forward to the year 19.  As it feels like we are hitting the ground running.  Sure there's always hurdles, but it feels like we'll always find a way to overcome them together.

Happy 18th Anniversary!
