The Late End of year Update

Hello all who see this,

I am writing this here because it takes up less space in your feed, and screen real estate is an expensive commodity. Well any way 2020 is over and I know it is almost February but I feel I needed the time to really put the thoughts together, and this is my life update.

2020 started like any other year, I think about a week into I proposed to my current SO Crystal, we started with ideas of having a Wedding Spring of 2021(Spoilers not probably going to happen). The story is odd and slightly impulsive, She had jumped on to me to wake me up for dinner, and all I could think this is what I want for the rest of my life to wake up to that smile so I asked her to marry me then, she said yes. This seems like an interesting start to my year and makes it seem like it would be a good one.

As February came around the next two big things happened, I learned that my parents were getting a divorce, and Crystal and I decided to move in to my parents’ house. It was an interesting contrast to my January to say the least.

I thought that was going to be it for the most of the year but instead I guess the world had other plans. The lock downs and quarantines that kept adding stress to my life, school switched to all digital, work every day had a different policy that seemed to make less sense then the day before, and I was moving back in to my parents house. I love my parents but at the time it had been almost five years since I spent more than a couple of weeks straight with them, I had gotten used to making my own independent decisions. The friction between the person I had become and my parents became very apparent quickly after I had successfully gotten moved all the way in to the house. At the very least I had finished that semester on a relatively successful note before the move was final. This brings me up to about June where my old cavalier broke down, so I bought a new car which is nice I enjoy having it. Sitting in it made me feel like I was in a space ship.

This brings me to the Biggest change in my life I have had in my life to date, I am going to be a father. It was late June to early August that I learned that this was the case. Crystal and I waited a bit to tell anyone, but it was an interesting reaction once we got around to telling people. I am almost certain many of you will be surprised that it is even true that I am going to be a dad to a baby girl. Her name is going to be Marinette, she is expected around the first week of March (in about a month from writing this). The date is fast approaching, and it is a strange felling I am sure that I am not the first to feel, but it definitely is a strange new experience. I look forward to the experience, just it is an unknown which is always equal parts terrifying and exciting shaken with ice and served in a chilled glass.

After that exciting news I started what was my last semester at Ball State, in November Crystal and I moved out of the house in to an apartment. We had a slight scare the day before thanksgiving which turned out to be severe heartburn and possibly shoddy lab work. Thankfully everything was alright, though it did upset our plans for that week. We did end up making it to my grandparents Christmas which was filled with good people and good food.

Also, I officially graduated from Ball State with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I am sure there are some points that surprise people in this and I don’t mean to make anyone feel like I’m leaving them out I just don’t really care to talk about my self. I also don’t find myself on social media very often so I’m not very good at keeping everyone up to date. At the end of the day, my life is my burden to bear.

If any one wants to buy us stuff for the baby, Crystal and I made a baby registry and if you wish to, you can take a look at the list.
