We took a quick weekend trip to Asheville. This little mountain town holds a dear place in my heart, and it was so fun to share it with Ben!

Home sweet home for Thanksgiving! It has been such a long time since all of us were back together.

New Bern was overflowing with Christmas cheer and we soaked up every event and light.
We shared our own little Christmas by our little tree. 
For Christmas we adventured in Cartagena, Colombia!
2016 was a year of moving, learning, and transitions. I’m so thankful to have Ben by my side to navigate this crazy adventure we are on! We are excited to see what 2017 has to offer!
In case you want to see what we were up to in 2015 and 2014, you can do that too!
