NEW BEGINNINGS//2017 WRAP UP


New Beginnings 


Hello lovelies!

How was everyone's Christmas?

Mine was spent at home with family staying warm & eating too much homemade candy!

But now that the holidays are over & there's only 4 days left of 2017,  it's time to do some reflecting on this past year & make some plans for the new one ahead! 

For Christmas my hubby got me a lovely planner from Horacio Printing that is just amazing! It has specific pages to help you write out your goals & steps to accomplish them. As well as charts for how you plan to grow in all walks of life. This is so helpful for me, given I can sometimes get distracted from my goals because, well, life. 

One of the best parts is that 10% of funds from your purchase go to A21, an organization fighting against world sex-trafficking! How awesome is that?!




This year has been stunning, I honestly went into 2017 without knowing what to expect at all. SO many changes occurred this year! Some of them were hard, but all of them were mostly good I feel. 

Here's just a few of my favorite moments... 


May 4th//I found out I was expecting!



Boy, what a ride pregnancy has been. I feel like I've been pregnant all year, but I'm thankful to be nearing the end! 



May 20th//1ST MARATHON!!




My handsome hubby & I celebrated our 1 year anniversary this year! Which was so special, except for the part where we tried to eat our 1 year old freezer-burnt wedding cake(not sure why everyone does that, but it was disgusting)



                                        August//We found out we are having a baby BOY!



                                  September//My grandmother & I made Case's baby quilt!
                                                       November//Case's baby shower :)

38 Weeks



 One of the craziest feelings this year was to feel this little boy grow! & to watch the bump get bigger & bigger! 



December 6th//my parents officially adopted my baby brother!

Other special moments:

                                                                 January//Washington D.C


                                                                 January//State capitol


                                                                            April


October//Florida Anniversary trip

October//Halloween!


Thanksgiving 2017//I love this guy <3

                                                        December//Bump's first Christmas!


- MY GOALS FOR 2018:

-Be more present//focus on the moment

-Run another marathon//run 1,000 miles

-Read 50 books

-Complain less, thank more

-Go overseas!

-Pray more

-Rush less

-Drink more water & stretch more

-Limit my distractions//spend less time on my phone & more time getting fresh air or laughing with family & friends

-Quit comparing//We've all heard the saying that goes something like: comparison is the thief of joy//I really want to apply this to my life in 2018

I hope these helped inspire you a bit & come up with your own 2018 goals! Tell me what they are in the comments!
