The turn from December to January always makes me a little sentimental and reflective, but even more so this year. What a HUGE year it was for me and for us. I think 2015 will always be a special year for us for more reasons than one and I'm so grateful that I have this (very public, ha!) journal of sorts to remember all the big things. I so wish I would have blogged more during our engagement days, but time just got away from me.
2015 was a life-changing year (in the best way possible) to say the very least. From starting a new job, to gaining a new title (hello MRS. COATS ;) ), to moving to a new city, to a new (forever) roommate. 2015 has been the sweetest year. We were showered almost all year long with love and encouragement from our family and friends, and FINALLY, surrounded by the ones we love the most, we became husband and wife. The sweetest year y'all, the sweetest year.

ReplyDeleteI loved reading this and seeing the excitement of planning a wedding! I remember when my entire life revolved around planning for the wedding and making sure we were at least close to budget haha! I wish I would have started blogging before I got married to record my thoughts during that time--it would be sweet to go back and read. Love that you did!
