Hey guys! I hope you all have had a wonderful new year and you’re settling into 2018 well. And I hope your resolutions are still on track!
So I usually publish this post on December 31st but I was a little preoccupied this year. We moved on January 1st so the week before that we packed, loaded the moving trucks (that’s a long, frustrating story), and went to a New Year’s Eve party. And since the first of the year, Pearson and I have been traveling, enjoying Disney World and visiting family as we move to Oregon!
Anyway, I always like to say goodbye to the year with a little recap. Here’s 2012‘s, 2013‘s, 2014‘s, and 2015‘s. Last year I didn’t do one because that year sucked. But that’s a whole other story. So here’s 2017’s recap! I hope you enjoy!
