Familymoon at Big Bear
After our global travels, we needed a vacation from our vacation, so we took a moment to
unwind in the serene forest scenery of Big Bear, with lots of hikes, which allowed our big,
black, scary German Shepherd, Dexter to get over his fear of bridges. He’s a better guard dog
now.
Downtime Hobbies
Rodney built a custom-made arcade complete with his own printed circuit board and
software which allows him to load up to 1500 classic arcade games on his custom interface.
Christa also acquired her first firearms this year and is practicing to be Christa Wick in case
someone kidnaps Dexter.
Peaches in Georgia
We visited Georgia and saw the only aquarium in North America that is home to manta rays
and whale sharks. We celebrated Oktoberfest in Helen and enjoyed the wonderful forests in
Georgia during the fall.
More Camping
We embraced the great outdoors with another camping trip in Big Bear, which allowed us to
try out our new home defense guns, rifles, and shotguns. Bang bang!
Christa's New Chapter
The year concluded with Christa starting a new job! Her work is now completely remote,
eliminating the three-hour commutes and allowing her to spend more quality time with
family.
Wishing you all love, good health, and prosperity in the coming year!
With love and lots of shots,
Christa & Rodney Mallari
