2016 in Review

Everyone keeps saying that 2016 was their worst year ever, but honestly, it was a fantastic year for me. In many ways 2015 was much harder. 2016's word was "brave" and boy did I need it. Here are some of the highlights from the past year!

January 
- Started the new year with my word, "brave"

- Was a bridesmaid in my cousin Candace's wedding





March 
- Went to San Diego with the whole family (did Sea World and the San Diego zoo)

April
- Got promoted at work

May 
- Went to NYC with mom
- Moved into my OWN APARTMENT and a new ward

August

November

So you can see, it was honestly a great year! I have a lot in store for 2017 already, including a few trips planned and some great goals in place.
