A Look Back at 2017

Personal

December 29, 2017

I can’t believe 2017 is SO close to being over! I feel like things just flew by – maybe that’s just me though! It’s been such a crazy year for our little family and I know 2018 will feel even crazier by comparison – but also so full of joy and our little guy making his appearance! 2017 has been a year of blessings for Ryan and I, so I wanted to take a minute and look back at all of the amazing things we got to do.
In April, we were lucky enough to travel out to California again, which I think, is quickly becoming one of our favorite states! We visited San Diego and Disneyland again and were so grateful to be able to stay with an old friend of mine and her now fiancé!
Just a few short weeks after returning home, Ryan and I found out we were pregnant. We found out by total accident because I felt weird after going for a run. We found out when we were only 4.5 weeks pregnant! It was such a hard surprise to keep from our moms but Mother’s day was that weekend, so we had to take advantage of the opportunity to tell them on Mother’s Day!!
In the middle of finding out I was pregnant, I was also starting to perform 5 days a week at a local theatre, Riverside, as a cellist. Getting back into theatre was one of the best things that could have happened to me – I needed the outlet and to be plugged into something I love so much. Being able to work with my college friends was also SUCH a blessing!
Over the summer, Ryan completed CDL training and in the fall, he coached his first season of middle school football! Although he’s not one to cheer loudly about his own achievements, I can happily say I’m so proud of him and all the hard work he’s put in this year to make these dreams come true! Wave if you see him driving an activity bus! 🙂
In June, we celebrated two years of marriage with a simple dinner on the water and taking our pregnancy announcement pictures. It was a quiet night, but we loved it. It was a lot of fun still having our little secret to keep!
In the summer and fall, we traveled down to the Outer Banks, which is certainly one of our favorite places on earth. We spent time with my family and Ryan’s, enjoying the sun, too many cheese fries and lots of ocean waves. We are so excited to get to take our little guy there next summer and share what we love about the beautiful island with him!
We had two beautiful baby showers put on by our families to celebrate David and even still, looking back on them, we’re overwhelmed with the love and joy we feel around us. This little boy is so loved!
From a business standpoint, this year has been overwhelming in the best way possible. I really opened the virtual assistant component of my business and took on more wonderful clients. I love being able to help them with the daily tasks they might not love or have time for and it’s such a great feeling knowing you’re helping out! I photographed so many beautiful families and kiddos and I just feel incredibly honored to have been asked to be a part of all of these amazing moments!
​We can’t thank everyone we know enough for being by our sides ​throughout this year and celebrating our highs (and helping us through our lows) with us. We love all of you so much and wish you the best New Year!
xoxo
Kristina
