It feels like much longer than a month ago, but when March ended, we had just come back from a week in Cancun, a little tanner, and ready for a very busy April full of work, work travel, and a move.

It was a very busy month, from family visits, to trips to both San Diego and Cancun. It felt like the start of a much busier 2026, than both January and February.

It was a short month but there was no lack of work travel and time as a family enjoying a beautiful February in Southern California.

After enjoying a beautiful few weeks off from work, we kicked into a very busy January. Fortunately, throughout it all, we had time for a few dates, many trips to the park, and even a few to the beach.

Our first full year as Elle’s parents is in the books. We had a cross country move, a new job, new house, a lot of travel, and at the end of it all a family of four that’s excited not only to look back on 2025 but look forward to 2026.

Jenn captures her look back on the year that was 2025. It was a year of such change and big decisions that it’s fun to read it back from both of our perspectives.
