I love this time of year. Who doesn't love a fresh start? A reset? Renewed hope for things to come?!?!
2017 was a great year. Every passing year seems to go a little more quickly. Now, they just feel like they are flying by! We did some amazing things in 2017 and my intention was to pick just 5 pictures from each month that represent what that month was like. Honestly, when you have thousands of pictures, that is a monumental task. And to be honest, there are a few months that I just couldn't get it down to 5 pictures no matter how hard I tried.
Without further ado... here's our 2017 recap in pictures:

2017 was an amazing year, full of adventures. Some things previously outside our comfort zone are now nestled securely within our comfort zone (for me, examples include: mountain biking, skiing, training a puppy, etc). And we continue to search for adventures that will continue expanding our comfort zones.
Reflecting on a full year reminds me that time is FLYING by and renews my excitement to pack as much LIFE into every single day as possible!
We wish everyone reading this, a healthy, happy, KIND, adventurous, and prosperous 2018!!!
