2020- A Year to Remember and to Forget

I don’t know about you but I’m ready for 2020 to be done! There has just been so much going on that it is time to say good bye to this year and try to make the best of 2021.

2020 has had everything! A record breaking hurricane season, a global pandemic, BLM protests, whiny politicians all around no matter what party they are, etc. I KNOW I USUALLY DON’T TALK ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS ON RCGG!! I AM JUST USING THESE AS EXAMPLES. I AM SORRY IF YOU TAKE OFFENSE TO ANY OF MY EXAMPLES!

Let’s try to make the best of 2021 though! There is so much to look forward to and sometimes you need that extra push to realize it!

Now, If you have been reading blogs for a while you know that some bloggers choose a word or phrase for the new year.

My phrase for 2020 was new beginnings. At the end of 2019 we had no idea where the new year would take us. Honestly, Mr. RCGG and I were both getting burnt out on sending management applications for his job. We would send two or three at a time and he might have gotten one interview. It had gotten to the point that both of us wanted to just pick the most off the wall location that had an open management position to see what would happen. With our luck though it would have been that one we would have been offered!

God always has a plan for you though! It may be totally different than what you were aiming for though! In January we decided to take a bit of a break from the applications every week. In late January or early February Mr. RCGG put in for a couple of openings that had come up. He got an interview for both of them. He didn’t get the first job but in mid March he was offered the second one! We were both in complete shock! We had worked so hard for this moment and it had finally come!

Our next big thing was to get our house ready to rent. This was pretty much all on me! I painted bathrooms and bedrooms and basically made sure repairs were scheduled and done on time before we moved at the end of May.

So the end of May came and we had moved from Savannah back to Atlanta! This was all very new to us, but it has been such a blessing! Mr. RCGG is happier in his job.

2020 hasn’t been all roses for us though! We have had a few snags a long the way just as I’m sure you have. In November we lost our Peach cat. She passed away while we were in Savannah with Chester for a vet appointment. It has been quiet without her running around and playing but we know she is playing with all the other family pets up in Heaven! However we did add THREE kittens to the family in December! Chester has been adjusting to them and he thinks he is going to keep them! He says they are CRAZY but it’s all good!

From left to right in the above picture is Cleo, Callie, and Cami! They have grown so much since this picture was taken and we are starting to see their personalities develop. Cleo loves to stalk her sisters. She will sit back while they are playing with each other and then run up on them in a sneak attack. Callie is always the first one to the top of the condo! Cami likes to climb your leg and yell at the top of her little kitten lungs!

As with every year there are things you want to remember and things you want to forget! These are the things I want to remember for 2020!

Mr. RCGG’s move into management
Moving from Savannah back to the Atlanta area
Even though she passed away I want to remember the GREAT life Peachy had! She would have turned 12 tomorrow!
Adopting the C kittens. You can follow Chester’s adventures with them on Instagram.
Connecting more with friends. 2020 has been a year of video calls with my BFF! I have loved talking to her on a regular basis and seeing and talking with my nephew too!
New business adventures. Still growing Ollie Peach Creations and Nathan Joel Photography and looking forward to what the next year has to offer for our businesses!

So I wish you and yours a very happy 2021! May God bless you in this year and I pray you are healthy in the new year! =)
