It is not just the end of another year; it is the end of a decade! Looking back through old photos, it is crazy to see how much our life has changed and evolved in the past decade.
2010:
Jon and I in Napa Valley Sept 2010, celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary. I had a 2 year old, I had just started working again at J.Crew Part time. Jon was working for a far infrared sauna company. Our life was definitely much different back then. Looking at this photo, I feel like I was SO young and definitely not feeling my best. I was at a weird transitional time in my life.
We traveled to Naples Florida a lot when we were first married. Julian loved going to the beach, this was our yearly vacation spot.
Holidays as just a family of 3 were much different!

Christmas Card 2019
I end this decade feeling better than I did 10 years ago. I feel like I am in a groove, I am enjoying motherhood, growing in my relationship with my husband, and finding a career and hobbies that bring me personal joy. I really look forward to the next 10 years. I am hoping to really work on doing more of what I love and chasing some personal dreams of my own!
Wishing you all a healthy and happy New Year, and all the best in 2020!
