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.

Even if our tastes have evolved over the years, there’s nothing more fun than to be able to look back at what were some of our favorite things each year.

Each year Jenn and I look back on the TV that we watched and rank them from worst to best. This year we didn’t watch nearly as much TV but there were easily 4-5 shows that could have made our #1 slot.

I haven’t written one of these posts since 2017, but its good to be back, and looking at all the things I’m tracking on a daily basis.
