I got to spend my birthday eating delicious hot pot with my family, introducing my brother to Marvel United, and dug deep into childhood memories for my brother’s trivia challenge.

Marvel United: Hitting the Streets
It is exciting to look back at the progress we’ve made on our Marvel United miniatures since the third season arrived. Our collection includes over 130 characters and we’ve painted 42 (30%) to date and painted 18 since last fall.

What Happened in 2024?
The year went by in a blink. I’m grateful for the photos and videos we captured to remember all that happens while we’re busy with life.

Beauty of the Beast
My favorite Disney movie in their renaissance era was Beauty and the Beast. It’s because I’m too pragmatic for love at first sight and an effortless happy ever after. I’m grateful that Belle and the Beast grew to love each other through their story.
I’m delighted that the musical version of this story exceeded my expectations and am proud of the production that Lovegood showcased. The songs have been on loop in my household throughout the three-week run and we’ve quoted our favorite lines repeatedly.

The Zoo Without Our Zoo
Jenni encouraged me to take day off in the middle of the week so we could go on a date. With the kids in school, we enjoyed staying at each exhibit for as long as we wanted, or at least until the animal did something photogenic.
The weather was a cool autumn temperature. None of the animals were active but the smaller crowds also helped us stay with them without blocking other patrons.

Astoria Column
My parents were my ride to a wedding that I was the photographer. None of us had visited Astoria Column before, so we arrived early to enjoy the tourist attraction.
My dad surprised me by climbing the 164 steps to the top of the column, happy to take on the challenge. Though I managed to snap photos of the view, my palms were sweaty looking over the edge.
The winding staircase was dizzying on the descent but had a beautiful symmetry to it. Every 20-30 steps, there was a plaque naming people who reached that point.
I’m glad they were able to ride with me to the coast. We don’t often get to travel together so I treasure each opportunity I get.

A coworker invited me to photograph her wedding in Astoria. She had enjoyed my photographic style for company events and I’m grateful she thought of me. Their wedding was low-key and casual but I could feel the warmth of the friends and family gathered to celebrate. The weather was windy, but the blue skies gave a beautiful backdrop at the Astoria Column.
