Question

What are some significant occurrences that have stood out to you from this year? What makes them memorable?
The most memorable event this year for me has to be the birth of my daughter. She is the most important thing in my life. However, She wakes up very early, normally around 5 or half 5 in the morning. It is a lot easier when she is sleeping to go about our day beacause it allows us more free time. Regardless, I couldn't be happier. She was born on April the 22nd, and I am finding parenthood challenging but very rewarding.

Do you feel like time passes too quickly? Explain.
I feel like time passes too quickly. I got married last year and since then, time has just flown by. Before the wedding, a lot of time went into finding a house and a wedding hall. After all that, we had a baby! Before I knew, I was a father and I had a new responsibility to look after my child.

Do you have any travel destinations you want to go next year?
For our Honeymoon, we went to Guam. It was amazing but most of the sotres were closed due to covid. We like to go shopping but as I mentioned, most locations were off limits so we were unable to shop. Howerver, the sea was crystal clear, so we went swimming and ate lots of delicious food.
I want to go to Hawaii because when we went on our Honeymoon, our initial plan was to go to Hawaii but it was too expensive and it was harder to get to. If we ever get the chance to visit in future, we weill definitely go!

I haven't been to Europe but my wife, who majors in French, lived in France for a year. So maybe one day, I will visit Europe.
