Goodbye 2019 and Hello 2020

2019 is over, and it’s the start of a new year. And today is my blog’s second anniversary. My second year of blogging went a lot smoother than my first. And I was able to stay on a consistent blogging schedule. As well as interact more with other bloggers and open an online store to accompany my blog. Outside of blogging, I was able to a lot more in 2019 than I was in 2018. Since I wasn’t working two jobs I was able to travel, hang out with my little sister, and attend different events. With it being the start of the year, I wanted to take a look back at my second year of blogging. So here’s my blogging wrap-up of 2019, what I learned, and what I have planned for 2020.

November flew by, and I can’t believe 2019 is nearly over. I kicked off the month with a trip to Michigan for Youmacon and visited my family. After that, I took some time to relax and recharge my batteries. I did some painting and caught up on anime and other TV series. Then ended the month with some canceled plans and the materials for a new hobby. So here’s what I did in November as well as my plans for December.

Even though I lived in Michigan for 12 years, I’ve never been to Youmacon. I already had plans to visit Michigan this year since I haven’t visited in about three years and the convention was around the time I was planning to visit. So I decided that I’d finally check it out.

October was busy, but a very fun month. I finished both of my cosplays in time for Youma Con and had a great time on my solo trip to Chicago. And, surprisingly I was able to visit a pumpkin patch and try a pumpkin spice latte for the first time. I even got to see a musical I’ve been wanting to see for a while. Overall I’m happy with how October went. I went into last month unsure if I was going to be able to get everything done. But I worked hard, focused, and got everything done so I could enjoy some downtime last month. So, here’s what I did in October and what I have planned for November.

My solo trip to Chicago was full of good food and a lot of walking around the city seeing some of its landmarks. And it ended with me spending time with my little sister and I saw one of my favorite band’s 10th-anniversary show. This wasn’t my first time visiting Chicago, but my first time getting to explore and see the city. So here’s how my solo trip to Chicago went and what I saw and ate.
