Goodbye, 2015!
Man, while saving pictures for this post to close out 2015…I got kind of emotional. I had forgotten A LOT of the great things that happened this year. The people I’ve met, the places that I’ve traveled…I am super blessed. A lot of firsts for the twins including a braves game and a beach vacation. I can’t tell you all how grateful I am looking back at this. I traveled to quite a few beaches this summer and even celebrated my 10 year SoCon Championship anniversary.
Some things may not have panned out the way that I wanted to but all in all, I’ve had a pretty fantastic year. Thanks to the many of you pictured (and not pictured) that helped make 2015 a fabulous year for myself and especially for the twins. We love each of you and the memories that you brought to 2015.

- Tinder Swipe Night Hawks Game
