I had a a great 2025. I got engaged to the love of my life. I went on some great trips. I enjoyed hobbies both new and old. My career continued to floursih. I have amazing friends who I get to spend tons of time with. It’s hard to complain right now!

I want to quickly list some of my favorite moments of the year, of which I am sure I will miss many

  • Proposing to Kim
  • Working on wedding planing and getting save the dates sent out
  • Visiting Acadia National Park for the first time
  • Going on family vacation in Saranac Lake
  • Getting to be in the wedding parties for two of my best friends
  • Having a blast at both of those wedding (you can’t take my bottle of Champaigne away from me)
  • C012 LAN party
  • Setting up a colo data center rack with friends
  • Skiing for the first time in over a decade
  • Bob’s holiday get together
  • Getting my engagement present from Kim - a Citizen Attessa watch
  • Visiting my parents in Florida in the spring
  • Talking to my parents on the phone multiple times a week

2026#

So, looking into 2026 I don’t have a super well defined list of goals, but I do have a few things I am looking forward to this year:

  • Our wedding - lots of planning going into this. It will be a great day no matter what, but I want to make sure I put in all the work I can to make the day extra special.
  • Along with that, continuing to focus on health. I want to be healthy and happy with myself at our wedding.
  • Have an amazing, awesome, super memorable honeymoon after.
  • Skiing - continue to go and get use out of my season pass, and focus on improving my skills. I want to come out of this year a much more capable skiier than I entered it.
  • Game Nights - Make sure to keep having in person game nights as much as possible.
  • Get on the lake more this summer
  • Keep finding new music
  • Continue seperating myself from big tech as much as possible
