Hi everyone! Just to be different, I’ll present my past ten years as an unfeeling timeline, typical of a nerdy accountant. (I’ve bolded the highlights.)

The future may hold more of the same (e.g., tax returns and diapers), or it may turn out completely different (e.g., more school and…diapers). Either way, we’ll plan to enjoy it, just as we have enjoyed the last ten years! We can’t wait to see everyone!
