Monday with Mattison

Saturday was my 26th birthday and I could not feel more blessed.  Looking back on what this last year held, I am so thankful for my friends, family, and blog community that have been with me every step of the way.  I’ve never been one for New Years resolutions, but I always look forward to a new year of life each December.

My 25th birthday started in a new city, in our first year of marriage, just Shane and I.  We had moved to Charlotte in May 2017 and with the wedding in September, I was so busy that I hadn’t made time for a social life.  I loved being in a new city on our own in our first year of marriage.  I think it really allowed us to bond together, but to be honest, we had no friends there.  I am so thankful for the group of friends we have made in Columbia since we moved here in February.   Here are some of my favorite parts of this past year.

Highlights of the Year 25

• We bought a house!
• Family ski trip to Park City
• Celebrating our first year of marriage
• Family Mexico trip
• Traveling to Park City, Boone, Charleston, Fernandina Beach, NYC, Playa del Carmen, Austin, Chattanooga
• Champ turned SIX! (I can’t even believe this)
• Hosting our first Friendsgiving in our home
• Skiing in Boone
• Floating the river in Columbia
• Lake Trips

Here are some of my favorite memories that were caught on camera!

Thank you to each and every one of you that have made this past year so special!  Here’s to 26 and another fabulous year to look forward to!!  Don’t forget to check out last week’s post too! XO, Mattison
