New Years serves as the best reminder that memories don’t require perfection, and gives the most bittersweet feeling when you realize how much you’re going to miss certain moments. Our 2017 included a lot!-all of which 10 photos on Instagram couldn’t even come close to doing our year justice. Hands down the most nostalgic and sentimental farewell to a year, which was filled with a few sad, some sweet, and lots of happy memories. I truly cannot wait to see what 2018 will bring our family- a very welcome to the new year!
Ps. 1/1/18 is 9 months of marriage for me and Tyler 😘
