I am currently cozied up at home watching the rainfall on the last day of 2016! What a year it has been. At the beginning of this year I set out with so many goals in mind to accomplish. At the end of each year I like to jot down a few goals for the upcoming year into my phone. I often go back and visit those goals throughout the year and I feel so much satisfaction when I am able to check off a goal from my list! In 2016 I had high hopes to achieve 6 things! This year, I can honestly say that I have achieved all but one! I don't like the idea of resolutions as much as I like the idea of setting goals! I think goals are healthy and when set correctly are achievable and satisfying! As I look back on photos from the last year I can't help but gush at all my husband and I have achieved! We set out in 2016 with the goal of traveling, experiencing new cultures, growing my blog and achieving some personal work related goals. All of which we have achieved! To be honest our faith in God and his plan for us helped keep us on track in 2016! There is nothing like the peace you get when you know that God has a plan for you and is working things out in your favor, even if we don't always see how He will bring things together! I am not 100% sure what my goals for 2017 will look like, but I know I will have a lot of fun achieving them! 
  I have put together a collection of photos from 2016! These photos are a celebration of goals achieved, love shared, and life lived! My husband says these memories are monuments to our life and love together! Here's to 2017! May it be filled with new monuments and overflowing with adventures and love!
