So I haven’t updated in a while. Life sometimes has a amazing way of getting busy. Here are some bullet updates. There are too many thoughts and ideas jumbled in my head to get them all out now in paragraph form.
- I’ve travelled to Minnesota twice since my last update for work.
 - I just got back from a week in Chicago. I walked over 30 miles in a few short days and only lost one pound.
 - Being sick sucks.
 - Thanksgiving was good to see my Grandma and family.
 - I’m enjoying seeing some of my long term budgeting plans starting to come to fruition. #intentionalliving
 - Work has been really good at times, and also really stressful at times.
 - This year has gone by extremely fast.
 - Having 3 kids is way more of a challenge than having two.
 - I’m excited for the Christmas season. It helps me to remember there is still good in people.
 - The Royals celebration parade was crowded.
 - Maybe I’ll start trying to post movie reviews.
 - I’m getting really burned out on stupid people and their opinions on the internet.
 - I got promoted to Staff Sergeant this summer.
 - Music is amazing as always.
 
And now for random photos from my phone.
Later,
Derek
