+<p>
+ We're alive! All three of us: Amy, Clementine, and myself. We're doing
+ what we do best and that is being hermits with zero social contact.
+ That's pretty okay by us though because it lets us slow down from all
+ the fast-paced life changes we've made in the past few months.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ In January Amy and I bought a house! We couldn't have done it without
+ the wonderful help of everyone who gave us wedding gifts. We got a nice
+ little standalone place in Suffolk, much closer to where I work and
+ centrally located for Amy's tutoring business. We spent all of January
+ painting and prepping for the big move. Late January and early February
+ were all moving and unpacking and trying to get back in the groove.
+ Since the outbreak, we've been using the extra time at home to finish up
+ all the move-in projects we wanted to: finishing painting, putting up
+ shelves, hanging pictures, and rewiring electrical outlets.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ Amy also finally got the chance to pursue her dream job: she started up
+ her own private tutoring business. She's been working hard with clients
+ all over Hampton Roads, from college students all the way to
+ first-graders. Business was booming before schools closed but I know
+ she'll bring it back once things have returned to normal again. No
+ worries though, she's spending this time helping William and Mary handle
+ remote operations and students in need. She's also [supposed to be]
+ writing her master's thesis so she can graduate in May but you know how
+ it is.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ We're also working through a family illness, which adds difficulty . We
+ expect a speedy recovery though and we're really excited for that.
+ All-in-all, we're really enjoying our lives as a happily married couple.
+ It's been about eight months now and I've enjoyed every minute of it:
+ the glad, the slightly stressed, and the overarching worry as the world
+ took a strange turn. But we're looking forward to a good Summer now. The
+ weather has turned nice -- really nice -- and Clementine is forcing us
+ to get outside. She's in love with her nice, big fenced-in yard and
+ refuses to come in after catching hoops most of the time.
+</p>
+
+<p>Stay safe, smart, and sane!</p>
