Whew, what a year this has been! I loved being engaged this year and even though it was a bit stressful, I did really enjoy wedding planning. This year officially marked the next phase in my life and I couldn't be more happy about it.
Here are some highlights this year.
I found my love for fitness. Growing up, I was never really in to sports and not very athletic. As an adult I realize that I just didn't like team sports. Too much pressure and teenage girls are too mean. I love working out and competing against myself. I love to feel strong and able.
We celebrated two years of dating in February! It feels like we've been together much longer than that. I guess because we've really known each other for so long ( with a very long gap in the middle ;) ) I admit that I knew pretty quickly after we started dating that he was the one for me!
Wedding dress shopping with my now THREE moms! My family has been in a big transition for the last couple of years and it has been really hard on me. I feel like I finally got to a good place this year with my own and I feel really lucky to be welcomed in to Kyle's loving family.
We took our engagement pictures in fabulous Fort Worth!
Kyle's love for disc golf continues. I know he's missing it right now since it's too cold and gets dark too early!
I turned 26 this year. I really cannot believe that I am that old. I still feel like I'm 17 in my head.
Kyle bought his first brand new car! He spent a lot of time researching and thinking about what he wanted. We weren't even really planning on buying a car but then the perfect deal came up and we just couldn't pass it up. I am so proud of what a hard working, responsible guy Kyle is. He deserved this car!
I was so blessed this year by all of my fabulous friends and family who showered me with love. The people in your life are so important. I cannot stress enough how important it is to surround yourself with people who build you up and are really there for you. Thank you friends and family for all of the love this year. I love and appreciate all of you!
Then there was that time I got mugged in the grocery store parking lot. It reminded me that there are a lot of bad people in the world and you need to always be aware. It also reminded me that there are a lot of good people in the world. Look for the light and you'll always find it.
I married the love of my life! I promise to talk about other things too next year but this year I decided to lean in to it. If you would've told me even five years ago that this man would be my very best friend and the love of my life, I would have laughed at you. But I am so grateful that he came back in to my life! I feel so lucky to have such unwavering support now and forever.
We went on our first vacation and it was both of our first visits to the pacific northwest. I don't think it will be our last.
Kyle turned 28!
I think this was the fastest year of my whole life and definitely the most exciting. I can't wait to see what this next fabulous year holds for us!
