2016: A Year in Review
Boy, oh boy 2016 was quite the year! Between starting a business, moving in with Chris and a lotttt of travel I can quite honestly say 2016 was one of the craziest, busiest, most exciting years I've had to date. There were a lot of ups and downs, but holy moly am I thankful for all of the changes and experiences I've had this year -- AND especially thankful for all of you who were along for the ride.
I covered some of those BIG changes already in my NYC-versary post (You can check it out >>here<<) , so today I'm sharing a slideshow of some of my favorite memories 🎉 2016 was a wild ride and I can only imagine what 2017 will bring!
Chris and I kicked off 2016 by celebrating in Vancouver, BC
The noms were pretty darn good!
We rang in the New Year on the waterfront.
We got over 2 feet of snow in January which was pretty exciting.
I attempted to build an igloo on the studio's balcony... butttt it ended up being more of just a snow fort.
You can now finallyyyy have Maple Bars in NYC thanks to an awesome donut shop called The Doughnut Project. This was a fabulous surprise for my Birthday!
My bestie from college visited NYC for the first time!
We had some quality girl time and definitely put quite a few steps in during her trip!
I had a fabulous girly day with my friend Megan at Lovely Happenings Spring event!
My friend from Portland came up to visit the Claw for the first time and we made quite the rounds!
We went up to Crystal and rode the chairlift to the top to the restaurant. Holy views... INSANE!
We also ventured to Seattle and enjoyed a beautiful Spring in Seattle!
I was so thankful to have so much family time this year! I made it home more this year than the last 5 combined andddd I loved it!
On my spring trip we got to visit my Aunt Di's cabin which was such a nice visit!
