2023 was a bittersweet year for Christian and Ian, marked by the loss of family members, Dianne’s move to memory care, and Ian’s excitement at The International DOTA2 event. Christian enjoyed work travels and both faced challenges and made vibrant memories with loved ones. Now in 2024, they plan to adopt a German Shepherd amidst snowy travel concerns.
