Gallery: 2021 a Year in Review

It has been a whirlwind year, a year of big changes and new horizons. It that cliche and corny to say...yes. I don't care though because it is true. Chyna and I made the big decision to leave Seattle (I miss Fremont) and move to Colorado. Our new home in Loveland, CO has been such a fun adventure getting settled in. Being a relatively small town of about 70,000 people it certainly is a change of pace from the bustling streets of Fremont in Seattle. We have easy access to the mountains (Rocky Mountain National Park is a short 45 minutes away via a very scenic drive through Big Thompson Canyon) which has made getting outside easier than ever. We love our new home and are excited about what 2022 will bring! In the meantime as the end of the year approaches here is a gallery of some of my favorite photos of 2021. Enjoy!
