Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone!! Over the holidays I took a step back from the blog world and a lot of the social media world as well. I hadn't originally planned to do that, but it happened naturally and I'm totally okay with that. I spent time with Jared, our families, our extended families and a few friends as well. Despite the chaos at this time of year, we found plenty of ways to celebrate the holiday season.

  

I probably felt a little extra sentimental this year, thinking about our last Christmas as just us, and how different things will be next year during the holidays. Jared and I talk about how we know we can't possibly understand what we're in for- but we can't wait! I am so ready to journey into parenthood with my best friend. He's going to make the best dad, seriously. Oh my gosh- we're having a BABY this year!

Our New Year's Eve was low-key as usual. We continued the tradition of dinner at Benihana's with my parents and then spent the evening playing games with Caleb and Kayla. With the whirlwind of holidays and football it was honestly the perfect way to ring in a new year together.

I'm looking forward to this new year and this new start, as always. Real Simple magazine's January edition has already got me decluttering and purging like a boss. No closet or corner is safe! Bring it on 2016, I am READY for you and ready to get back into the swing of things :)
