It’s that time again, so here is my recap of 2024.
We had a couple of major milestones this year:
In January, I accepted the position of co-lead in our caregivers employee resource group and am grateful for the ability to support my fellow caregivers at work.
In February, I earned my delayed promotion to Principal Technical Program Manager. A title I strive daily to live up to.
In August, Terry became the CTO of a new LLC named Translait.
In September, Terry and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and commemorated the occasion with a trip to Walt Disney World and vow renewal ceremony in October. It was a very intimate affair with my dad officiating and my step-mom creating the beautiful decorations.
In December, we celebrated Terry’s 50th birthday in multiple ways with many friends from across the country.
2024 saw more crocheting than stitching and overall less crafting in general than usual. Finding work/life balance this year was a challenge and my personal care suffered greatly as a result. All things to consider going into 2025.
