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 is benign but difficult +nonetheless. We expect a speedy recovery 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! + + + |
