This was the best year; one of abundance. My main goal this year was: to be present at my wedding. It was, by far, the best experience of my life. I still can’t believe how my community showed up for Matt and I.
Aside from Wedding Szn, we jumped at the opportunity to travel widely. I went to West Africa for the first time, and was blown away by the sophistication and culture. It was also my first time in France and Spain for a perfect honeymoon adventure. Another huge highlight was taking Matt to Jamaica for the first time.
Here are a few things that made my year beyond special:
