2020 in Review

[Previous years in review: 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013]

Wow. Well, 2020 was a year to remember. Not only because Chase has taken every opportunity available to shout "2020!!" with glee. As I mentioned last year, we knew we would have to move in 2020 and that it would be difficult year, but we didn't quite expect a pandemic to throw a wrench in everything. That being said, we have come out of it mostly ok, ready to move to Connecticut next week and start a new chapter of our lives. We are sad that we couldn't travel more (especially to see my grandparents in either Kiev or Barcelona where they moved for the last few months). Therefore, Chase did not add to his continent (3), country (13), nor state (9) count. I am guessing that the state number will expand in the coming years. 

Highlights of this year include:
- Seeing my grandparents in Zermatt in January
- My mom visiting and daytripping in Switzerland in February
- Chase turning 6 during lockdown
- Going to Stresa and Leukerbad during the summer
- Nearby activities throughout the year, as restrictions allowed
- Saying goodbye to our friends and Switzerland and preparing to move

My only craft was weekly drawing. I did attempt to make a few masks, but they weren't ideal, and I lost one in the laundry. Really hoping to do more crafting in the new year. For now, I am trying to arrange and buy furniture for our new apartment. I did start doing genetic genealogy for others (adoptees, etc.) and have found about a dozen birth parents. 

As I do every year, I will leave you with an instagram collage, which has the fewest pictures ever due to me using Instagram less and the fact that we got out less this year. You can follow me on Instagram, or on Twitter if you don't have an Instagram.

Happy 2021!
