Another year has come to an end and it’s truly bittersweet to reflect on. This year was a very special one for me, mainly because it’s the year I married the love of my life. Needless to say, that was the highlight of my year but I have many other great memories to look back on as well. This year was stressful at times but overall was a year of growth, new experiences and lots of love.
