Happy New Year!

The holidays brought so much great news in our lives, and we have so much to share, so I'll focus on those exciting announcements.

First, my awesome mom finally retired after 33 years with the Menlo Park Police Department. We are so proud of her, and we had a great time celebrating while we stayed with them after Christmas. I'm so excited to have my parents visit more and really enjoy life (not that they don't already). Congratulations, Mom!

Secondly, HUGE news in the wedding world: My big brother is getting married! He proposed on Christmas morning to my awesome future sister-in-law, Ashley, and they are an incredible couple. We look forward to their wedding planning adventure and sharing the amazing future they have ahead! Congratulations to Chris and Ashley!

Aren't they a gorgeous couple? I can't wait for my nieces and nephews!

We also celebrated the holidays with both sides of the family this Christmas, and it was really a pleasure to get to spend time with each of our parents and brothers. We are excited about the new year, the year we will take our vows and become husband and wife! Get ready for the big stuff - we're nearly at the six month mark!
