Things have changed quite a bit. We moved on from New Mexico back in 2014. I did a short tour in South Korea for a year, then we moved up to Anchorage, Alaska until 2019. We're currently enjoying life in northern California.
I'm still married to Autumn, we'll be hitting 19 years in May. Our daughter is now a teenager. I'm still in the USAF. Still doing the same job just with an extra rank now. Only a couple more years until I can retire. Planning on heading back to Oregon in some capacity when I do.
Unfortunately, not everything is the same. I lost my sister unexpectedly back in 2016. It was a pretty terrible year for many reasons, but that was the worst for me.
Reading is definitely still an interest of mine. One day I'll publish my book. Who knows when though.
A little older, a little grayer. Still haven't gotten a novel published. At least we're closer to home now and I'm only a couple years from retirement.
