2019 was a year for us. Overall, it was a year I was happy to see end. Not that it was terrible, or that I wish any of it away (ok, maybe the sleepless nights), but it was kind of a tough one for us. That being said, we did a lot of amazing things, saw some cool places, made some wonderful memories, and continued to grow and learn together as a family and individually.

Here are some of the highlights of our year, starting in January 2019.
