When Life gets in the way.
What a year! 2025 feels like a drunken college kid that hasn't quite found himself yet and continues to switch between his 6 or so different personalities. This sentiment is not isolated to us, the whole world has been spinning (see what i did there,lol). For us, the year has been wrought with health battles, graduating fleshlings and even one of them heading off to the ARMY! Yes, the Boy Child, despite many pleas from his mother to the contrary, has become "A Few Good Men"
