Once again, it’s hard to believe another new year is upon us. I wanted to take the time to sit down and let you all know how thankful I am for an amazing 2016.

In April 2016 I married my best friend and took on the roll of being a “Bonus Mom” to 4 beautiful children.

If planning a wedding wasn’t enough. I also was tackling finishing my Bachelors in Business. After many days of not knowing how I was going to get everything done and sleepless nights, I graduated in May 2016.

Finally, I had some free time! Something I am not use too, but I was able to fill my free time with taking on remodeling our home. Needless to say, my husband grew to HATE Pinterest and so did my wallet.

In the blink of an eye, Christmas was approaching and the kids didn’t need anything. After a lot of talking and planning with my sister-in-law we decided on a family vacation instead of a bunch of gifts. Memories last a lifetime, toys last a month (around our house).

December 26th, we loaded up 11 people and we were off to Tennessee. Over the next 6 days we shared many laughs, made memories and enjoyed exploring the Smoky Mountains.

I hope that this New Year brings you new hopes, new dreams, and new beginnings. May this truly be your best year yet!
