Harry Potter 7

A period of my life has just found resolution. It is from this point of contact I cannot return.

I just recently had the privilege of seeing Harry Potter 7 at Carmike Royal Palm 20 in Bradenton. The movie was wonderful, and I teared up as I watched Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny see their children off to Hogwarts 19 years later.

The Harry Potter series was a huge part of my childhood that I'm sure to revisit when I have kids of my own someday. But. The conclusion of this series is another reminder of my exit from minority and into the world of reality that is adulthood.

I'm growing up. I'm paying bills. I'm taking control of my future and acting on goals instead of impulse. I think I'm ready. I hope I'm ready.

It's a funny parallel--wizards come age at seventeen years. I'm seventeen, going on eighteen in little less than two weeks. Fate, huh?

Blog Name Change

I recently changed the name of my blog from stevenevens.me to evens.co . The change is slight, but recognizes that I'm no longer a one-man operation - I'm now part of a team. As life changes, so will this blog. And while I've sometimes struggled in finding topics about which to write, marriage brings an abundance of noteworthy and varied ideas. Hopefully, I'll have a few photos to share from the wedding in a few weeks, but until then, I've put together a rough outline of things I intend to write about. Feel free to send any additional suggestions to steven@evens.co . Marriage and Finances Marriage and Work Marriage and Health Marriage and Family Marriage and Friends Marriage and Personal Hobbies

Having Dogs

As a kid, I'd never had a pet. The idea of having an animal roam about your home felt like a silly concept and a wasteful use of time and resources. Over the last few years with our two dogs, Sophie and Khloe, I've found enlightenment. Our dogs give us a lot of joy and companionship, particularly when either Caity or I would otherwise be home alone due to our work schedules or other outside commitments.  To end in the most cliché of ways – I couldn't imagine our life without our two furry family members.
