1. 2018 was by far the best year of my entire life. The first few months were a bit of a rollercoaster ride, but every second has been worth it. Brent and I have had undeniable chemistry from the start- both of us had been told by different friends that we should date- and clearly our friends were onto something. We knew after our first date we would get married and here we are less than six months before we get married. Every minute with this guy is so undeniably perfect. We're equally weird, share the same sense of humor, both adore puppies, share a sense of adventure, and put God and families first. This man is so much more than I could ever have dreamed of. I cannot wait to start this New Year and the start of forever with the most incredible man I've ever known💜
2. For the first time ever I did not have to work on Christmas Eve or Christmas. Brent and I spent both days together celebrating the birth of our savior and spending time via FaceTime with our families. Christmas Eve we went to a candlelight service, always my favorite, and then drove through the city looking at Christmas lights. Christmas morning we were both up bright and early we exchanged gifts, made breakfast, and soaked in the light and love of our first Christmas together and our first Christmas being engaged. It's been fun blending our families traditions and establishing our own. This year we're hoping to be a family of three- us and a puppy of course, no babies here😉
3. Speaking of puppies Brent and I spent a lot of time, like a LOT of time, at the local humane society. We go to socialize the puppies before they're adopted and frankly sometimes you just need some puppy love to brighten your day. Several times we've come close to walking out with a puppy (or two), but right now neither of us are in a situation to spend as much time with a pup as we'd want to. Once life slows down after the wedding we are both looking forward to adopting a pup and expanding our family. Of course we will be getting whatever pup we choose will be from the local humane society.
4. And while we're still talking about puppies we are going home to see my puppy in a few short weeks 😬🎉Work is graciously giving us some time to do wedding stuff, so we are flying to MI to see all of my family and have a wedding shower. Of course I'm super pumped to be seeing my family- most of whom I haven't seen in over half a year- but I'm also over the moon excited to see Cora and have her meet Brent. She's gonna love him I have no doubt🐶
5. Finally, as the year drew to a close I am beyond thankful for all the love, laughter, and amazing opportunities 2018 brought us. My heart found its way home with Brent. It's a home I know it's safe in forever and I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives falling more in love. I pray that as we begin our lives together we keep our focus on God and grow deeper in both our faith and love.
Thank you for being apart of our journey in 2018. We look forward to sharing even more with in the New Year. Wishing you a blessed and very happy New Year!
