This past March we had this crazy idea to trade our small rural town in GA for the massive city of Houston, TX. It wasn't quite what we expected but it's definitely been an adventure to say the least.
Graduated College...
I don't really have a picture of this but I finally pried my Bachelor's degree out of the cold dead hands of my school back in Jacksonville. It feels good...it feels reallllyyyy good.
Got a new job...
Landed my first semi-respectable job at a Hilton Hotel. It's not the greatest, but it's allowed me to meet some really cool people and for that, I am grateful.

-Find a career that I'm passionate about
I really appreciate all of you taking the time to read and comment on my little corner of the internet and I hope you all have a wonderful and safe New Year!
