Happy {almost} New Year friends!
This past year was a whirlwind and I just wanted to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for following along. Blogging has been such an adventure and I love being able to share my life with you. To help close out 2018, I wanted to do a quick year in review and recap some of my favorite memories!
Ok, here we go!

May 29th, 2018: Announced this blog. WHAT! I can’t believe it’s already been 7 months since I decided to move forward with this idea. It took about 5 months of planning and this site launched on October 11th!

July 4th, 2018: Celebrated the 4th of July on Rainey Street. I told everyone to get there around 11am–only to find out the bars didn’t actually open until 2pm. Oops.
July 17th, 2018: Ben turned 32–whoop whoop! We had a fun little date night and did craft cocktails at Peche and dinner at WuChow. Check out the recap here!
