2020 Year Recap – The Year of Social Distancing & Unrest

New apartment furniture

What’s something good that happened for you in 2020?

In a year of social distancing, anxiety, separation from family/loved ones, discrimination, injustice and a multitude of other things there’s no need to say that it was a difficult year for most of us. Looking back on this year there were both good and bad times for all of us. It was a year marked with confusion and uncertainty, but amidst these things, I am looking back on all the positive things that have happened in 2020. This is my 2020 year recap.

Here are my positive moments from 2020:

๐Ÿ’— Got a nice apartment and new furniture with Andrew

2020 was the year Andrew and I moved in together. I moved from an older, dark, non-updated apartment to a bright, new, upscale apartment. And Andrew moved from an outdated, dirty house in Augusta, GA. Now we are in the heart of Buckhead Atlanta which is known as the expensive, upscale part of town. We researched and purchased all new furniture which was super exciting, and moved in on my birthday which was a major highlight!

๐Ÿ’— Took a trip to Asheville, NC and the Blue Ridge Mountains

This was the “big” trip of the year. Originally it had been planned to take a tropical vacation to Punta Cana in May but clearly that did not happen. I have such a love for exploring and seeing all of nature’s wonders and beauty that traveling just about anywhere makes me happy. We ended up going to Asheville, NC and the Blue Ridge Mountains and had a wonderful time. Check out myย Asheville, North Carolina Travel Guide for ideas when visiting!
