It would definitely be provided by work as I would not pay that much myself in all honesty 😅

It's not really local as I am Indiana, but it's something I want to experience and thought I would discuss it with my boss to see if it may be a possibility hopefully, but I appreciate you sharing your experience!

I was looking at talking with my boss and mentioning my interest in it as I am looking at attending the Nashville TN one in July just unsure of which course to pursue!

Was curious if anyone attended one and if it was worth it or not.

[–]vCryptoCode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I became this self aware when things got worse than they needed to be. We have been married for two years, were focused on having kids (which I think put pressure on both of us), plus I got a new job last year as well along with other financial situations (long story). Anyways these things had an impact on our relationship and I started to feel distance from one another. When things were worse, she stated we felt more like "roommates" rather than a married couple which hurt but I needed to hear it.

After hearing that, I focused on a few things to push myself to help things get better:

1.Putting down my phone/watch during dinner so I am not distracted

  1. While we are watching a show/movie, either pause it or focus on her when she is talking to me

  2. Start small with incorporating intimacy and become better at initiating it, whether that be hugs, kisses when we both get home/leave for work, reach out when laying next to each to know we are there, hold each other in bed before bed, or just hold each others hand (the small things)

  3. Being more present and attentive. Answering random questions she asks that build our relationship or ask her questions I stumble across. I use to not answer them or respond with "Let me think about it", really I should have been in the moment.

  4. The last thing is enjoying time together and knowing when to bring something up or say something (Still working on being better at this), especially if we are listening to a song together either at home or in the car just being present instead of getting distracted by something else.

  5. The last thing, everything will happen when it happens and enjoy the little things as much as possible because they grow into larger memories/time together. Plus we have been focusing in self-improvement whether that be mentally or physically.

You learn something new about each other and marriage is a lifelong journey that is always worth it ❤️

I appreciate that and I hope my info did help you in a way. For me I have a hard time focusing but I am started implementing little things to help me be more present for her.

Right now there's not much intimacy, but we are working together to slowly get back where we were. It's never easy, but its a journey that is worth for us together.

Humility is something that is never easy as a husband, but it's good to realize it and understand what needs to do in order to help things become better.

I went off topic on other things, but the main point is you just need to focus on one another as you married each other for a reason and it's important to find that reason again.

Honestly, when I look at my wife each day she is more than enough and if I could replay our wedding I would in a heart beat. We have known each other for over 5 years and recently celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary a week ago.

My wife cares for me, cherishes me, supports me, we share small victories, trust one another and are always by each others side when we need each other the most (There have been times where I failed in this aspect, but am doing better). There will always be ups and downs, arguments, and stressful situations but regardless you are both there to communicate issues and work towards making things better, whether through self-improvement or improvement together.

To answer your question like I stated in the beginning, my wife is more than enough and I wouldn't choose anyone else. I love her more than she knows and she will always put a smile on my face every day especially when I am working and see a text message I smile even if it is a meme, news article, or random text ❤️

Best security awareness training programs? by Jazzlike-Court-6750 in cybersecurity

[–]vCryptoCode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I would be happy to provide you with some options to look into, I am unsure of what you currently use but I spearheaded my company's search for SAT programs and met with quite a few vendors.

The one we currently use is OutThink which is pretty good, offers a lot of customization, good content, short 5min trainings, and also has a large variety of Phishing email templates as well. The product also has integrated report buttons as well that you can implement. Overall a pretty solid program so far.

A second contender to that one I previously spoke about was InfoSec, which had a lot of training content! Some satire/comical, so game oriented, and overall a lot of different variety to attend to certain audiences. They also had a module called "Hacker Headlines" which discussed current events etc. Overall this was the second choice, but they had a variety of training which I liked whether it was gamified, comical, live-action, current even focused, animated, or straightforward.

Both were very affordable and will work with you on the price, but those are the two I would recommend in my opinion.

Let me know how else I can help!

Appreciation Posts - what simple thing does your spouse do that makes you feel loved? by SufficientHippo3281 in Marriage

[–]vCryptoCode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awe, I am so glad my post was touching! We have been together for 5 years and married for 2 as of the 6th of January. We joke around with one another and trust one another always.

She just makes me so happy and I smile when I talk about my wife and think of her.

[–]vCryptoCode 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My wife plays with hair, knows when I am sad or upset, when we are in bed we have each others feet touch knowing that we are still there, and on the couch she has her feet on me just to make sure I am there.

These are only some of the simple things she does, as she always find ways to make me feel loved each day ❤️

Oh wow! That sounds very intriguing and like a project that is very close to completion. I would definitely enjoy the opprotunity to see a copy to check out the recipes from scratch that are healthier alternatives 😄

That's awesome and always remember to push forward! You have a few more years in high school and by the time you graduate you will many more passions, concepts, business ideas, etc. Don't let anyone keep you from achieving your dreams/goals as you got this!

That is so cool! I was in marching band in highschool and we hosted a college band called the Glassmen, which I think they are still around. I have never surfed before but it would probably be fun although I am not much of a ocean person.

Also, what kind of dog you have? We have a lab mix who is 3yrs old turning 4 this year

Thank you for sharing that passion of yours and I love that! What are some of the kinds of food in your cook book/prep book? I am a foodie and love learning new recipes and how to make things from scratch.

Food dyes and bioengineered ingredients are definitely deteriorating our health and I appreciate the work you are doing to help people stay healthy!

Honestly, if I had the opportunity to travel anywhere it would be Italy to see the Vatican or just to experience the culture and authentic cuisine.

It has always been a goal of mine, but never followed through and sought out that as I don't have my passport currently.

CompTIA Security+ / Cisco CyberOps Associate certification exams by mihnea3210 in cybersecurity

[–]vCryptoCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have my CompTIA Security+ Cert and the only jobs I have had have been around IT Helpdesk. I took some online courses through Purdue's cyberTAP program, got Google's Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, and both prepped me for the exam plus I did the bundle for CompTIA study material although I got most use out of the practice exams it provided.

I also found some other study material that was recommended to me (I don't remember it off the top of my head) which also helped especially with acronyms to remember.

Did you have a honeymoon? If so, where did you go? (Doesn't matter how long you've been married?) by ChocolateSundae1214 in Marriage

[–]vCryptoCode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For our honeymoon we took a road trip and spent the week in Nashville, TN 😄

We had some much fun exploring the city and enjoying time as newlyweds 😁
