Hi Friends!

Woo woooo, can you even believe that there are 4 days until Christmas!?! I sure can’t!! I’m going to keep today’s post pretty short and sweet because I know we’re all running around like crazies trying to get every last minute errand done. Today, I wanted to share with you the family Christmas photos that Dylan & I took with Murphy the other day. I love taking photos at the same time every year because it’s truly such a great way to look back at the previous year and see how far you’ve come!

If you’re interested, check out our holiday photo from last year here. It’s too funny to look back at last year because a lot has come together for us this year. Last year we were living in our first apartment together, had just gotten Murphy (we literally bought him before we bought a couch together HA), and really had NO idea what we were doing!! Growing up is such a funny thing, isn’t it! This year has truly seemed like three years because of all that’s come together for both Dylan and I in our careers and personal lives. I am thankful for those times where we felt like we had absolutely no idea what we were doing because they often times lead you to times of clarity and feeling like you’re on the right path! If you happen to be in a season of life where you feel like you’re lost and confused (trust me, I’ve been there), I’m here today to remind you that an amazing season could be right around the corner.

I’m home in Northern California today with my family & then fly to Hawaii tomorrow to celebrate a tropical Christmas. I’m currently trying to figure out a way to pack the stocking stuffers I purchased for my family into my suitcase without crushing them all… Any tips?!?

I’ll be posting lots of photos over on Instagram & videos on Stories, so follow along if you want a day-to-day look at our trip!

Wishing you all an amazing holiday. I am  so grateful to anyone who takes the time to read my blog, so thank you! YOU mean the world to me!
