In many ways 2020 was the worst year ever. However, if I look closer at the year and what it has given us It hasn’t been without good points. Allison and I are both working and because of our jobs we have been able to care for the kids as they have their hybrid learning schedule.
This year brought many challenges to our fitness. When the pandemic shut down gyms and our dojo we were able to continue to train via Zoom. Slowly we were able to go back to the mats and continue our training. This year Eva started training in Jr. Krav Maga and she has embraced it with such joy. She loves training and is having a good time with her friends. Andy is continuing to make strides in the right direction, too. While he is not as enthusiastic about training he goes and does the best he can. I have gotten very serious about working on the next level. Within this coming year I may even be eligible to test for my Black Belt. I have a very long road ahead and have to get my fitness level up to be able to accomplish this goal.
This past year has been good for Allison and I because we were able to spend mornings walking together and through that ad eating right, including Isagenix, we were able to lose a good amount of weight, each.
So, it has not been a terrible year all around. Luckily, we’ve been healthy, employed and able to spend more time together.
We spent today doing various things. I worked on several videos for my YouTube channel and that has been beginning to pick up some steam. The kids played and watched shows and baked some cupcakes.
I put together dinner and made a little mini cookout menu. I made bacon cheeseburger nachos with mini kielbasa and pretzel nuggets.
Then Allison and I watched Ellis Paul’s New Year’s Eve show on Facebook Live while Eva and Andy did their own things. Andy watched Odd Squad in our bed and I had a feeling that he’s be asleep by midnight. I checked on him at 11:45 and he was awake. 15 minutes later he was asleep and Eva tried to wake him but he was so out. I went up to move him to his futon and when I tried to move the covers he pulled them back. I bent down to pick him up and he wrapped his arms around my neck. I lifted him and the cold caught him and he woke up. He announced, “I made it!” Yes, you sure did kiddo.
