2019 Recap

I feel so guilty each year when friends and family reach out for our address to send us their Christmas cards, and I never do the same. And if ever there was a year to send out a Christmas card, it was this one! So, to all of you wonderful people, please keep sending us your cards, and I HOPE to get one sent to you next year!

Things to Remember in :

January

We survived the Polar Vortex; we were literally the coldest place on earth during one of the week's this month. 

Addie was so sick 

February  

 I turned 30!

Was enjoying "gyming" with my friend each day 

(We were both pregnant and going to the gym together each day, but not always in the mood to actually work out, so we called it "gyming" as more of a social placeholder in our day until we could really push it again!)

Had some sever Cabin Fever! Thank you Longest/Coldest winter, EVER.
