I think the last week aged me 20 years. Not only was it the busiest week at work that I will probably see all year, but I spent so much time glued to my phone refreshing for election results. And the news of Alex Trebek passing away was so upsetting. 2020 has just been such…

With more things opening up, August had a lot of fun plans! Here's some photos from our month:
