Hey everyone,

Garrett here! I wanted to take a quick moment to reflect on some of the highlights from this past year, and there’s a lot to share. From my unwavering commitment to Chick-fil-A to unforgettable adventures with my wife Kellie, and of course, I can’t forget to give a shoutout to Stevie — my awesome friend and colleague. Let’s dive in!

Chick-fil-A Count: 52 Times and Counting!
Okay, I’ll admit it — I might have an addiction, but it’s a delicious one. Over the past year, I’ve visited Chick-fil-A 52 times. Yes, you read that right. Whether it was grabbing a quick breakfast before work or treating myself to my usual Chick-fil-A Deluxe sandwich with those perfectly crispy waffle fries, it’s been a staple in my life. And let’s be real — the Chick-fil-A sauce is basically magic. Kellie teases me about my consistent love for the place, but hey, when you know what you like, why change?

Adventures with Kellie
Now, onto the real highlight of my year: all the amazing adventures I’ve shared with my incredible wife, Kellie. We’ve traveled far and wide, and every trip has been more memorable than the last. A few of the standout moments include:

• A road trip through the Pacific Northwest: We explored Oregon’s coast, hiked to waterfalls, and took in the breathtaking views. I still can’t believe how many different shades of green there are in that part of the world.
• Our weekend in Nashville: We indulged in BBQ, explored downtown, and caught some amazing live music. Kellie was in her element — dancing and soaking in the tunes — and I was there for all of it, even if my two left feet made me an unintentional comedy act.
• Camping in the mountains: We set up a tent, had s’mores, and laughed at how unprepared we were. I’ll admit, we definitely weren’t the most seasoned campers, but it was perfect because we were together.

Looking forward, I’m excited to keep exploring new places with Kellie and creating even more unforgettable memories.

A Shoutout to Stevie
Before I wrap this up, I have to give a special shoutout to Stevie. Not only is Stevie an incredible colleague, but he’s also an amazing friend. I feel incredibly lucky to work alongside him. He’s always there with a great idea, a laugh, or just some words of encouragement when I need it. Stevie brings such a positive energy to everything he does, and I’m honestly just grateful for the friendship we’ve built this year. Whether we’re working on projects or just chatting about life, I know I can count on him, and that’s something special.

Looking Ahead
What’s next? More Chick-fil-A? Definitely. More adventures with Kellie? You bet. And lots more laughs and collaboration with Stevie. I can’t wait to see what the next year holds, but I know I’ll be tackling it with my favorite people by my side.

Thanks for reading, and as always, make sure you take time for the things you love, whether that’s indulging in some Chick-fil-A or taking a spontaneous adventure.

Cheers,
Garrett
