Alright 2019...
Where do I even begin?
As we look forward to the beginning of a
new year and a whole new decade,
I wanted to take a moment to appreciate
the past 365 days.
So here are some of my favorite
moments of 2019.

which feels like five years ago.
Then Josh and I celebrated with my family in st. Louis
