  • My church.
  • Getting to ski with a bunch of friends in Utah at the beginning of the year.
  • My new apartment in Golden.
  • Getting to celebrate my sister’s graduation and wedding.
  • My great coworkers.
  • Getting to work on many interesting projects with great people at my job, including a really fun greenfield project to write a custom homeserver.
  • Getting to travel to many exotic locations for work retreats.
  • Getting to go to Berlin for the Matrix Community Summit and got to meet some awesome people and make new friends.
  • The opportunity to give my first ever presentations at a conference.
  • Getting to travel to see multiple friends.
  • My vacation in Lisbon and Paris, and all of the amazing people I met on the way.
