*Looking back on a memory*⠀
Before we head on in to 2020, let’s take a look at the places & things that brought us here:⠀

2010: 🇩🇪 🇦🇹 Germany & Austria with family including in the summer & Christmas in Mexico 🇲🇽.⠀
2011: 🇩🇴 Dominican Republic. A rough year battling mental health issues and a lot of time in therapy. Grateful to still be here on this beautiful earth with those I love. If you need help, seek it.⠀
2012: 🇧🇶 Bonaire in the spring, 🇨🇭🇮🇹🇻🇦 Switzerland, Italy, & the Vatican in the fall (including the tunnel of death!). Focused on our relationship, spending time together, & strengthening our marriage.⠀

⠀
Whew! 😅 What a ride it’s been and we’re just getting started! So many amazing things planned for the year ahead including exploring a new sport & a dramatic new vacation destination. 🤞🏻⠀
