Every year it seems I say that I can’t believe the year is almost over. Well, it has in many ways felt like a year has gone by but it also feels like it went by very quickly all at the same time.

I am thankful for a lot in 2017. Family and friends make this year and every year special. In many ways, it has been an amazing year. Every year since Matt and I got married (or at least I think I started it then), I have been putting together a Top 10 Lists to recap the year.

This past year was a tremendous year of positive and exciting changes. We moved into our dream house that we helped design. Matt started a job at a fantastic company, Aiden started Kindergarten, Jackson’s personality and ability to do so many things like cut and trace letters are just some of the few highlights.

Life truly cannot be measured by days or even years but by memories, laughs, and smiling faces. I document life in hopes that it will help me remember a lot of the precious moments that happen along the way.

2018 is going to be an amazing year. I can feel it, and I plan on living it to the fullest. I think this year I will actually make more realistic and fun New Year’s resolutions.

One I have for sure is to leverage my strengths. I challenge you all to do the same. My resolutions this year will all be positive.

Here’s to finishing off 2017 in style and starting of 2018 ready for a fantastic year of fun, learning, and surprises.
