2016 Year in Review

Remember that time I had a blog that I regularly updated?

HA! Me neither!

While blogging clearly has become something that I just don't have time to do as often as I would like,

 I do love having this little outlet where I can write down sweet memories I just don't want to forget.

This year, I will not even be resolving to blog more as in years past. 

Because judging by the fact that my 2015 year in review was my last post, clearly I just can't stick to it!

With that said, here is a recap of our 2016 because I want to always remember how we spent our days together last year.
