Even though 2020 will go down in history as one of the worst years ever, some good DID come out of it!

Despite all the derecho, the coronavirus, and all of the other stressful moments last year, if you dig down deep, I'm sure you can recall at least one great moment. Back in March, my friends and I had to cancel our birthday trip to Nashville that was scheduled for May. We had everything planned and paid for, but COVID had other ideas. After getting the refund for our Airbnb, I decided to use that money to adopt a dog. After a couple of weeks of stress and panicking about being responsible for a living creature, Tater became my best friend in the whole world. He's easily the best part of 2020 for me!
