Months like June of 2020 are tough because more than anything right now I could use perspective. I’ll do my best to recap a very busy, very stressful, and at the end of it a very rewarding month. One that had us pack up our beautiful New York apartment and move back across the country to Newport Beach for a brief stay. It was a month that’s for sure.

There are certain months that I know years from now we will look back on this time in our life as a turning point. May of 2020 like many months in 2020 has been one of stress, joyous moments, and big decisions. It’s a month that Jenn and I probably more than ever in our lives have had to rely on each other, trust each other, and make decisions in a world that has never felt less clear. That’s a lot of words to basically say May was a big month.

It’s such a surreal, unexpected, and bewildering time to be alive. I’m not even really sure how to go about writing a recap for the month of April because although I lived it, I remember it all, it feels like a blur only a few days after its gone. But I’ll do my best to recap our first full month in full shelter in place in New York City.

If ever there was a time to write down what life is like it would be that of March 2020, the month that the entire world came to a crashing halt. What’s so amazing about March is when I started to look back on photos of the month there is an abrupt switch from normalcy to isolation.

If January was a slow month, February was running at a full-on sprint. From crazy flight delays, to multi-course pasta tasting menus, to channeling my inner Italian Stallion, February was a month for the record books.

As the old decade came to a close a new one sprang up in its place. We’re now 30+ days into 2020 and its been one odd and stressful start to the new year. But as the month has finally come to a close it does seem like things are getting back on track.
