Year in Review: 2019
Another year has gone by.
I reflected on the last twelve months and pulled photos from my iPhone to remember some top moments.
When 2019 started I didn’t have any grand plans, expectations or events on the horizon. Clayton and I were looking forward to digging our heels into our community, our passions and ourselves. As life normally does, it shifts and changes without much time to realize what was happening. A rather ‘normal’ year turned into some good momentum and fun surprises. The year was full of 30th birthday celebrations, time with family and trips across the globe.
Here are the highlights:
Walked to Mexico across the San Diego border for tacos and beer.
Entered a new decade, (turned 30!)
Built a photo studio.
