Journaling

For the past few months, I've tried to journal on a daily basis using an app called DayOne. While looking at pictures can show how we've changed on the surface, looking back at some older entries has proved revelatory on how I think today.

With that thought, I found my first New Year's resolution—I will journal every evening, regardless of my state of being. If I forget, I'll immediately journal the following morning.

Some entries will find this blog, but most won't. There's something about being honest with yourself that makes for an investment with infinite returns.

Signed,
Steven

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.

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.
