Obligatory COVID-19 Post

- 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. -

- 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. -

- 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. -

- 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. -

Stay safe, smart, and sane!
