Life didn’t go the way I expected for 2018. At this time last year I felt like I had things going well. We could buy a house and start really thinking about having a family. Needless to say that all got blown out of the water.

Instead of setting resolutions for this year I chose to look back on this dumpster fire of a year and find the lessons that I could from the wreckage. No I did not do anything that I expected. If anything instead of buying a house, I moved back in with my parents. By any measurement, it seems like I went backward, but in the end even then I learned lessons that I might not have other wise.
