What a year it has been! I couldn’t more be grateful for all the things that happened this year. The ups and the downs. I am truly thankful for another year the Lord has given us. I was reading some blogs and saw another sweet couple sharing their top 15 moments of 2015, and I LOVED it. I was like that’s a great way to look back of the year. Thank you Amy & Jordon for the sweet idea. While making this list and looking back over the year, I couldn’t believe all that happen. my list was getting longer and longer, but I wanted to keep it to 15 since it is 2015. I started making a note in evernote, so these aren’t in any specific order. We are heading out to our last Video wedding of the year, so I was wanting to get this up before we went. A huge thank you to each and everyone one of you, who reads my blog, followers our work and our instagram. We love you guys and wouldn’t have a business if it wasn’t for you!! SO THANK YOU from the bottoms of our hearts. 

So here is to another amazing year!!! Thank you Lord for continually blessing us and opening up opportunities. We are looking forward to another year and what is to come. This list again is in no order, but here we go!!! 

 

 

1. Our roadtrip out west to Utah! This past winter, Trevor and I and some of his buddies traveled out west. We choose to drive (20’s hours!!) and it was a blast. We did get stuck in Wyoming for 4 or 5 hours because they closed the highway down. HAHA It was may 1st time ever skiing, ever! So why not try the 1st time on the mountains of Utah?! It was so worth it and a total blast. I loved every second of that trip. 

 

 

2. Becoming part of the Rising Tide Society and leading the Columbus group. Building relationships with so many amazing creatives around the area! Natalie & Krista changed the industry incredibly this year. Starting this Community over competition and meet ups has been one of the biggest blessings of the year. Love meeting so many creatives right here in Ohio!!!
