Best of 2015
Two thousand fifteen has been the best year and best adventure. It was the year I married my best friend. It was the year we rescued our sweet pup. It was the year we made our first big purchase together. As I reflect on this year, I am so thankful for all of the wonderful things that have happened but I am also so excited knowing that we get to continue on this adventure together. Choosing adventure for my One Little Word has been so rewarding in teaching me to be more spontaneous and go-with-the-flow, yet it reminds me that where I am is exactly where I want to be.
