2021 in review
Happy 2021, the year that tried hard to be better than 2020 and did an okay job. Jessi and I shared lots of moments with friends and family this year that couldn’t come soon enough, but we’re still missing no-stress meetups with our friends and trips to see our extended chalk family. There’s clearly a long way to go to get back to a normal that better matches how it used to be and we’ll get there once the children are vaccinated.
This Christmas we did lots of art and the very next day gave it away.
A year to remember
travel
We felt safe to travel, focusing on outdoor activities such as going to the beach or the zoo. Places we went included a road trip up to Michigan and another to PA, camping in North Ga, and a flight to San Diego.
remote work
This year started on a hopeful note with vaccinations for family and friends, some we hugged for the first time in a while. Luckily we were able to continue working remotely. This year Jessi got a promotion and Zach got a new job.
chalk art
The pandemic did not stop our chalking adventures. We got more opportunities this year as the world shifted to outdoor activities and festivals. States where we created murals included OR, MN, MI, ND, GA, FL, TX and TN. We also gained more experience and expertise with 3D murals.
