Reflection of the Year

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve.  This is always a good time for me to step back and reflect on my past year.

As far as my own journey goes, I didn't have any big "AHA!" moments for the year.  No big personal discoveries or lessons learned.  It's been a slow year for that.

Something big DID happen, though!  Fiancé asked me to marry him in the sweetest way possible.  I am the luckiest person in the world to have the sweetest, most caring, most thoughtful man to want to be mine forever.  It's crazy to me to think about that!  What's even better is that we started the process of wedding planning and found our venue.  I also found my dress, which I know will be a special moment for me and my mom.

As far as things that I did...  The biggest thing that sticks out to me is the group vacation I went on with Fiancé and his friends.  We traveled to Cape Cod for a weekend and spent part of one of the days revisiting Martha's Vineyard.  It was a great time connecting with Fiances friends, and for the first time in 3 years I got into ocean water and actually swam! 

The beginning of 2015 brought snowpocalypse, and who knows if that will happen again.  So much snow, so many Monday classes missed, and lots of muscles trained to walk in snow.  Jurassic World came out and it was the first time I was so excited to see a movie that I went to see it twice.  My birthday theme was also inspired by it and I had a dinosaur birthday.  

I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried my hand at an aerial taster class with one of my besties.  I managed to do some really amazing things, like get decently off the ground by climbing up the highest on the silks.  It was a lot of fun, and after the fact was very humbling, seeing as I was very sore...

I had my third round of jury duty, with my second time being picked.  Not my favorite experience, but it led up to Nicks proposal.

I made some new friends, reconnected with old ones, and lost one or two along the way as well.  I'm becoming more aware of who I want in my life, and when I need to either cut things off or pursue a relationship further. It's nice to feel comfortable as an adult sometimes!  

It was really a good year, but I'm ready for the new one.  There are so many challenges coming my way that I am so excited to be a part of!  From wedding planning, to new competitions for dance, to traveling, to getting things in order for my life with Fiancé, it's going to be a lot to handle.  However, I am up for the challenges!  Maybe tomorrow I will discuss more of what I am aiming my goals for 2016 to be!
