Joy Inventory, sibling addition

Julie is great to talk to about parenting stuff. I can get tips and feedback from her about how she handled different baby phases that we are just going through for the first time.
Neil is an Excel god (among other technical abilities) and I can call him almost any time for quick references for how to do shortcuts in Excel, which is especially helpful as I slowly analyze my research data.
Ellen is a great person to vent to. I don't know how to explain it--it's like she gets so mad about the things I'm mad about it's almost as if she had gone through them personally. Something about that level of empathy is so cathartic.
Everett is helping me get back on the healthy eating/healthy portions wagon through the bet we're doing. I wish I had the self-control to just do what I need to for its own sake, but there's something about competition with my siblings that is way more motivating, and I'm really grateful for the accountability.
Love you guys. Thanks for all the support.
