2015 At A Glance

In honor of throwback Thursday and finally feeling like I am getting it together from being on vacation mode for almost 2 weeks, I am sharing some of our 2015 highlights. As many of us have big plans for this year it is always nice to reflect on the things we have already been blessed with!!

Let’s start with January 2015. I started on full time with a new company in Supply Chain Management. As I was in the retail corporate world for over 8 years it was definitely a big and AMAZING change for me. My work/life balance is, well…it actually exists now 🙂

February 2015

Celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary in Chicago and it was snowing! OMG, it just felt magical. And although, the Mr. planned an amazing trip can I just give myself some credit here and mention I surprised him with a bad a$$ Armani watch? Okay, thanks. 🙂

March 2015

Celebrated our 1 year anniversary (yes again LOL) in the Canary Islands with some of our best friends who were actually celebrating their 10 year! Also, I can’t forget there was a quick stop in London! Goodness, this may need to be a whole separate post, haha! In a nutshell, this vacation was amazing! We stayed in a beautiful 3 bedroom with a botanical garden in the master bath. I’m pretty sure someone ended up in it one night. We ate yummy food, drank yummy drinks, face timed family/friends at who knows what hours of the U.S. day and Danielle and I became Flamenco dancers. We had so many fun filled days and made amazing memories.

I also came back with bruised ribs and a sprained wrist. Long story short we went on a quad safari adventure and as were driving up this MOUNTAIN in a line of other riders we hit a huge rock and flipped our quad. We both flew off and I when I awoke, which seemed like forever but was really only 2 minutes from what Brandon says, everyone was standing around and a sweet girl who happened to be nurse was already pouring water on my scrapes. Okay, I know that sounds a little scary and maybe at the time it was but goodness I am so BLESSED that we can joke about it now. Those scars were not pretty, but that didn’t keep from laying out on those beautiful beaches everyday. Thank you to my hubby and friends for not judging a girl in a two piece with shining Neosporin and bandages all over her back and arm! I knew I should have purchased a GoPro before that trip! LOL

April 2015

First Avon 39 Walk Against Breast Cancer with one of my besties. Raised over $2,000 for the organization. It rained and it poured, but completing that 39 miles felt so good AND it was all for a good cause. My sweet mom is a survivor so I love participating in events such as this.

May 2015

Worked my first election poll. I can’t lie and say it was exactly voluntary because Brandon has been an election judge for the past years and he was in dire need on one more person. Yes, he let me take a long lunch LOL but at the end of the day I felt really good about doing it. Something I typically would not do. This was also the day I realized who I married and that I would probably be doing this every year! So remember to VOTE friends and come see me at the polls.

June 2015

Made it to California just in time to watch our little nephew graduate high school! Proud auntie moment for sure!

September 2015

Fiji! I got to celebrate my first Feast of Tabernacles under the beautiful Fijian sun and beautiful Fijian breathen. I seriously have never ever felt so close to my faith as I did during this trip. I plan on continuing and growing that in 2016. **More pics from this trip can be found under Travel!

Celebrated my birthday with the hubby, best friends and the Presley’s in Memphis. Okay, maybe not the Presley’s but we did visit Graceland, same thing LOL. **More pics from this trip can be found under Travel!
