It's obviously an understatement to say 2020 has been a difficult year.  Our marriage has not been immune from the difficulties facing our country and the whole world this year; together, we've faced challenges we've never had to face before.  But we've been successful in every battle we've fought this year (and truly, they have felt like battles) and our marriage is all the stronger for our resolve to face things together, as a team.  We've learned a lot about ourselves and each other this year, and changed a lot about our family life and parenting; in many ways, we hope to never return to "normal".
