Reflecting on 2024
As we wrap up 2024, we look back on a year filled with connections, milestones, and meaningful moments. One of the highlights was catching up with so many of you at the Christmas Stroll in Downtown Great Falls. The Stroll was a chance to reconnect with the community and appreciate the vibrant energy that spaces like this bring to the city.
This year also marked significant progress for us at OverHere Consulting. We launched our new website, our new blog, and our new Products pages. They are all designed with accessibility and user experience in mind, and we're proud of how far we've come. But 2024 wasn’t just about getting things up and running—it was about laying the foundation for what’s to come. Over the next several months, you’ll see more products added to the products pages and more updates to the website. We’ll use this blog to document the journey, sharing changes and insights as we continue to grow and evolve.
Looking back, 2024 was a year of hard work and steady progress.

Imagine this scene, I call or message my car. It glides up in front of my house, the side door sliding open as I approach. I tell the car that I'm heading to the grocery store, and it responds, asking which one I prefer and whether I'd like to play my "road rage" playlist. With a smile, I confirm, and we're off—no steering wheel, no pedals, just a comfortable seat to settle into. As we arrive at the store, my autonomous vehicle joins a neat line of others, patiently inching forward until it's my turn to disembark. The door slides open, and I step out, heading into the store for a leisurely shopping experience. Meanwhile, my car finds a parking spot, ready and waiting for me by the time I reach the checkout. As I approach the curb near the front door of the store, bags and white cane in hand. it greets me by name and inquires, "Where to next, Ed?" With a sense of seamless convenience, I hop back in, and we're on our way to the next destination.
