I’m big on setting goals and areas of focus for the short term. My general goals and mantra for 2017 are summed up in the post\u00a0Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger<\/em><\/strong><\/a>… I usually like to see where I’m at halfway through the year and adjust accordingly to either get back on track or set some different goals.<\/p>\n

So far, 2017 has been crazy busy and a lot of fun. We celebrated the birth of our daughter January 11th and the fun (and work!) has not stopped. Being a parent has been awesome, and our daughter is an exceptionally easy infant. I know others don’t have as easy of a time, but this gal is already sitting, standing, eating pureed food, and smiling ear to ear. We love her a ton!<\/p>\n

Apart from her, I’ve been working full-time for two different companies doing support, triage, and some maintenance. I’ve been learning a lot about troubleshooting, updating WordPress and its dependencies across multiple enterprise websites, and solving problems within WordPress. I’ve learned the importance of team communication and documenting what you’re doing so you know what changes you made later (thanks from my future self!). I haven’t been building a lot, but that’s about to change…<\/p>\n

We also just moved back to the US from South Korea. The move was not planned six months ago, but we’re glad to be back!<\/p>\n

In the post linked above, I never set any specific goals, but more shared my mindset and what I was trying to accomplish this year. However, now that we’re moving back to the US (way more expensive than living overseas), my wife won’t be working, and we have a little human life we’re responsible for, I’ve become more laser focused on two specific things:<\/p>\n
