And here we are, at the end. We'll celebrate the end of our "wedding year" tonight and I just have so many emotions as 2015 comes to a close. I'm truly having a hard time believing that this year is almost over. I remember exact moments at the end of last year thinking about what a big year 2015 would be for us. I remember when midnight hit on NYE and I shared a kiss with my fiance, knowing that in just a matter of months we'd be sharing a kiss as husband and wife.
It kind of blows my mind that we actually got married. He got down on one knee, we planned a wedding, and it happened. IT HAPPENED. And we've been married almost 6 months. It all happened so fast, but we enjoyed every second while it was happening!
And just for fun, because who knows what will be popular on Instagram/social media this time next year lol. Here is my #2015bestnine. Seems about right, since it was our wedding year and all ;)
My heart is so full looking back on a year that I will always remember as one of the greatest.
2015, you were so sweet.
What a fantastic year you guys had. I especially love all of the DIY projects
