Happy New Year!

It’s so hard to believe that another year has passed so quickly. 2016 held a lot of new experiences for our family and we are excited to see what 2017 holds! We went on a few trips, started new endeavors, and welcomed Scarlet Reese into our family. I wanted to share a few of my favorite pictures from our last photoshoot with Kristina J Mosley and also include what our New Years Resolutions are for 2017. We all decided to write them down so we could look at them throughout the year and hold ourselves accountable for what we aspire to achieve. I hope that you start 2017 by taking the time to write out your goals and do everything you can to accomplish them.

Amanda’s Goals:
-read my bible every single day, no matter if it’s one verse or an entire chapter. Learn a lesson from what has been read. Pray when I wake up and every night before bed.
