November is Here

I haven't really sat down to reflect on the whirlwind of a semester it's been since it began. Here are some updates.

Before the Beginning

Preview ended in late July and I went home to visit friends, read good books, and recharge from the busy summer. I saw my good friend Jackie in Orlando for a day, which was really nice. I should do that kind of thing more often.

The Beginning

Classes started in mid to late August. At the time I was doing AFROTC and FLC recruitment, so any free moment I was given was dedicated to learning and growing through these commitments.

Somewhere in the Middle

In late September, we got our new FLC class. And I could not be happier. Each of our 53 new members is a necessary piece to puzzle, bringing together different passions and different experiences. If even one were to be taken away, the puzzle would not be complete.

Getting There

The rest of October was essentially exams and homework. I left AFROTC after eight weeks, realizing that it wasn't for me but better for it because I had at least tried and learned so much in the process.

Now that November is here, there's about a month left. And a busy month it will be. But I'm looking forward to it.

New Year’s Resolutions for 2018

Last year, I skipped sharing New Year's resolutions because I was never able to get traction in previous years.

Writing those five words, it feels relatively simple. Now I just need to stick to it.

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.
