Cheers to a strong marriage!

My favorite memory of 2017: riding the train to New Orleans with my soon to be 3-year-old son, for his birthday. He is obsessed with trains and loves the Thomas the Train series, so riding a real train was mind-blowing for him. He wanted to explore every inch!

Favorite memory of 2017 was definitely our trip to Washington D.C. this summer which included hanging out in Senator Joni Ernst’s office and being taken on a behind (and under) the scenes tour of the Capital building by her. She even took us onto the Speaker’s Balcony of the Capital! It was incredible!
You’re so generous! My favorite memory of 2017 is hands down getting engaged after 10 years of dating my wonderful now fiance! Can’t wait for 2018 :)
My FAVE memory of 2017.. my first date with my boyfriend :) We met on a dating app and I was super nervous because I already could tell I would really like him. He picked Mia Bella, a great restaurant in our Little Italy neighborhood in Cleveland, OH . It was a snowy Thursday night in March. I am not too familiar with the area as I don’t go there often, and began walking UPHILL the WRONG WAY in the snow.. and he saw this all go down since he was standing outside the restaurant waiting for me. Once I finally made it across the street from Mia Bella, I saw him standing there.. and by the smile on his face, knew he saw it all happen.. Out of embarrassment and nervousness (because he was as handsome as I expected him to be) I awkwardly started waving at him, and began crossing the street at the same time. Without looking. And almost got hit by a car. It was so hilarious and I am so happy I will (hopefully) NEVER have to go on a first date ever again!!

Hit the road in July and became a digital nomad.
My favorite memory of 2017 was my sister’s destination wedding in the Bahamas. She married a Pakastani woman and there were three nights of events. A welcome party on the beach, a Mehndi ceremony where my sister literally looked like Jasmine from Aladdin and I was blown away from the tradition/ceremony/colors of it, and an American ceremony/celebration with fireworks. They also had everyone gather the morning of the American wedding to go down the Leap of Faith waterslide before they took the leap of faith (marriage). It was the most amazing weekend filled with so much love.
My favorite memory of 2017 was adding baby boy #3 to our family and moving into our new apartment. It kept us busy! Looking forward to making memories in our new home with all our littles.
I’ve got a lot to be thankful for, but I’ll say there’s few memories better than a day trip to New York exploring awesome food with family!
My favorite memory of 2017 was our daughter’s first birthday! Thanks for the giveaway – you rock!

My favorite memory is split in two. The first was traveling the world with my sister and the second was when my horse gave me everything to run for a world championship. We worked all year for it and he tried his heart out even when he was double the age off all the other contestants. He has deserved ever second of his retirement and treats he now has.
My favourite memory of 2017 was getting back to the States to visit my family this summer.

2017 was a great year for us, as we also welcomed our Daughter (for us in September). Newborn cuddles are the best! :)
