I recently returned from an extended honeymoon, and I am coming back to work feeling grateful, rested, and re-energized. From November 27, 2025 through January 6, 2026, my wife Bianca and I traveled through Singapore, Bali, and several cities across Japan. It was an incredible experience filled with culture, reflection, laughter, and many new memories. We explored places like Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, stayed in a honeymoon villa in Ubud, and visited Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, and Tokyo. It was the kind of trip that reminds you to slow down, be present, and appreciate the people who matter most. I also want to give a special shoutout to my wife, Bianca. Sharing this experience with you made it even more meaningful. Thank you for the love, partnership, and adventure that you bring into my life. Having the opportunity to fully disconnect from work and focus on this new chapter was meaningful to me. That time away was possible because I work with people who understand the value of work-life balance and who trust their teams. I want to say a sincere thank you to my supervisor, Bob Zwaska, for supporting me in taking this time away and encouraging me to be fully present during it. Leadership that recognizes employees as whole people truly makes a difference. I am very grateful for that support. I am back now, excited for the year ahead, and carrying forward a renewed sense of purpose and appreciation. Here is to this next chapter, both personally and professionally. #Honeymoon #LifeUpdate #Gratitude #WorkLifeBalance #TimeAway #RestAndRecharge #BackToWork #NewChapter
