Here’s to 2017!!

After looking through pictures from 2016, i’ve realized all the things I forgot happen during the year. I found myself saying “that was this year?!?” multiple times.  Besides all the unfortunate events that happen this year, I found 2016 to be one of my most successful. Even though I created my blog at the end of 2015, I became more engaged and decided to stick with it through the ups and down this year.

I also started 2016 out amazing by stepping out of my comfort zone and taking a trip to China. I’ve always been interested in traveling, but this trip started the spark to travel to many more countries.  Colin and I both agree this would be the trip we will always remember and talk about. I was also able to take my mother with me to Europe for a few days. We visited England, Amsterdam and Prague. We both agree we need to visit Amsterdam again in the future, one day was not long enough for how beautiful it was there. In 2017, Colin and I hope to take another big trip. The countries we have picked out so far are Africa, India or South America!

We also added a new addition to our family this year! I definitely was not looking for a puppy, I am 100% a cat person. However, I knew at some point Colin would want to get one. We just happened to stop at the shelter on our way to the mall and saw Marley. We were about to leave and the shelter was closing when we saw Marley on our way out. When we called her over, that’s when we noticed she was missing a leg! Once we interactive with her, we signed adoption papers. There was actually a line of people that wanted to adopt her.  Luckily, we got her 🙂  The first thing we did was change her name, because they gave her an awful name that pointed out the fact that she was missing a leg!

Lastly, I’m super glad I got to spend this year with Colin. We’ve been to multiple weddings, trips and living places this year. I wouldn’t have wanted to experience it will anyone else!!
