Goodbye 2018, Hello, 2019

Hello, 2019. Welcome! 

I'm not going to lie.....at first I wasn't going

to write a new years blog post simply because 

I thought nothing great happened

in 2018 that was worth sharing. I felt like the last

few years were grand and 2018 was kind of so-so.

It wasn't until I sat down and truly looked at this year

in the face and realized it was a year full of

growth and learning. Some years you have an 

endless list of all these amazing things

you did, vacations you went on, story's to tell, etc.

and some years might not compare 

but the amount of growth measures

out to be a lot. So after realizing 2018 wasn't

so bad, I made a highlight list of what

was important to me. Here we go! 

2018 Highlights

{ re-did our bedroom + bathroom decor }

{ Purged our entire apartment multi times, this one felt SO good }

{ got a new kitty, Smokey } 

{ continued to travel for work } 

{ visited with long distance friends }

{ celebrated one year of marriage--love you! } 

{ grew into a new role at work } 

{ learned to be more aggressive at work--still trying, lol }

{ purchased 2 new flocked Christmas trees I've been wanting for years }

{ got asked to be in my friends wedding }

{ 10 year high school reunion }

{ Brooks + Dunn & Reba concert in Vegas w/ my parents }

{ started to adapt a more neutral lifestyle }

{ Got rid of cable + joined the Netflix train }

{ volunteered }

{ Ended the year 20 + lbs lighter since Oct. } 

Cheers to you 2018, thank you for not being so grand

and letting me have this year to grow and learn. 2019--not sure

what you have planned but it better be an adventure! 

 

Sincerely,

Ashley Nicole, xo
