Photos from 2016

2 Replies

It seems like 2016 flew right by and now we’re in 2017. I only have a few updates on the website so I figured I put some of my favorite photos from 2016 up and write a little about the year.

First, the year’s statistics:

  • 1 house purchased, up substantially from 2015
  • 2 of 2 us were employed, up 100% from 2015
  • 1 business trip, up substantially from 2015
  • 10 flights, down 60% from 2015
  • 6 driving trips over 100 miles, down 90% from 2015
  • 50lbs lost, from 2014. Total weight down substantially from 2015
  • Trace amounts of meat consumed, down 100% from 2015
  • 17,000 photos taken in 2016, down 80% from 2015

So, we’ve obviously had some ups and downs :). Overall, the year was fantastic and things are going well for us. We’re happy to be back in Minnesota and we’re happy to be back in the day to day swing of things. One of the biggest changes, becoming a vegetarian, was quite a bit easier than what I thought it would be simply because we had so much vegetarian food while traveling. We’re fortunate we took a lot of cooking classes from all over the world because we have a ton of recipes and food styles to draw upon for inspiration.

I put some photos in the album below. They are random photos from the year that I really enjoyed, there’s no rhyme or reason to the photos other than I really like how they turned out.

Enjoy the photos!

Winter 2013 / 2014 & Travel

Leave a reply

We have to travel to go see our family now that we’re in Albany, NY. I also have to travel quite a bit for my work since I work remotely in New York. The winters here in Albany are delightful compared to Minnesota. For example: the snow generally falls vertically from the sky and very gently. In Minnesota, the snow typically is moving horizontally at a very high speed. It doesn’t really get that cold either, generally around freezing. Unlike in Minnesota where it was -30F for awhile. With that said, it doesn’t prevent the folks here in Albany from complaining about the winter :).

So here’s some photos from the last month or so where we traveled back to Minnesota for the holiday & work, Chicago for work and Philadelphia / Pittsburgh for work. I really liked Pittsburgh; great skyline view, great food, great airport, super easy to get around.
