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.

Hawaii has been a vacation destination with the kids for many years. What a gift it was to share it with them—and to have their best friends with them too.

Marvel Snap surprisingly dominated my gaming attention this year. I started in January and I have played over 300 hours. It’s a casual, competitive card game that is easy to pick up and play, but it also has nuance and variety to reward a deeper investment. More than the game and its Marvel theme, I found lessons in its game design and how they can apply to my life.

I joined Vernier as their first webmaster. They had a website that was maintained by summer interns and it was time to dedicate a full-time resource to it.

In my two decades at Vernier, I’ve grown so much professionally and personally.

Jenni’s parents celebrate their 70th birthdays this year and the family met in the middle between their birthdays (February and December). Jenni’s brother Rex flew in from North Carolina and we gathered at a beach house for three days to enjoy the surf, fireworks, digging in the sand, sous-vide steaks, and desserts.

Jenni got a notification that our favorite blueberry farm was opening the next day. So we got to Hillside Blueberries at 7am to pick their plump blueberries. I guess we were too excited and hauled back 45 pounds and got featured on their blog.
