What. A. Year. If I could sum 2018 into one word, I'd say it was a year of change. So many changes. Some were great, others were absolutely terrible. But I don't want to bore you with long tales of my life. Let's look at some of my favorite photos that captured my 2018!

I'd be lying if I said 2018 was the best year - there were times when changes were so bad that I didn't want to keep going. But here I am getting ready to welcome 2019. Change. It's a tricky thing sometimes. But it's always full of hope. I hope you hold onto that while we transition into a new year. I will be. I can't wait to spend 2019 with you all. I'll see you there!
