A look back…2018


Looking back on 2018, one word that comes to mind is EPIC! This will always be one of my favorite years because of Sophia! So much of this year centered around her and getting ready to become parents, but in between that we had other really memorable moments! I’ve done this look back for a few years now and it’s nice to have shared these moments with you! 




This year was one of real growth for me – not only professionally, but personally as well. One unexpected gift of this year was growing closer to new and different people as I entered this new chapter of my life.  I’ve mentioned before that my mom and I have a very special bond, but after this year it’s changed and became so much more than it ever was.

We didn’t travel quite as much in 2018, but we did have an incredible anniversary / babymoon trip around Ireland. We started in Dublin, made our way around the Ring of Kerry and finished up by seeing the Cliffs of Moher and Galway! Right after Ireland we made a quick trip to Florida to see my grandmother’s and I’m really excited since we’re heading back there in January and March with Sophia! 




It was truly one of the best years ever and I can’t wait to see what 2019 has in store! Wishing you all an amazing end to 2018 & I’ll be back January 2nd with new posts!
