2022 just FLEW by!! It all feels like a blur, yet so much happened.

Naturally, it was the year of many firsts for Baby R. Her first tooth, her first steps, her first words, her first birthday! Her milestones alone filled the year with lots of excitement. It’s brimming with amazing memories.

As for us, we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary! Cindy celebrated her 30th birthday. And Jake officially went on the Econ Job Market. Lots of milestones for us as well!

We have amazing memories from our weekend trip to Minnesota, our road trip from Palm Dessert to Pismo Beach, and our trip up to Atascadero with Cindy’s family. But our favorite memories are all the moments we’ve had in West Los Angeles. Our afternoon jaunts to get coffee at the nearby Starbucks. Our family walks to Target to pick up some diapers. All the different park visits. Our morning strolls around the block. We’ve come to really love our neighborhood. How easy it is to walk everywhere. The beautiful weather. The neighbors we’ve come to know. How bustling and quiet it is at the same time. Our church family.

We’ve got a lot of big transitions waiting for us in 2023. And we’re both excited and anxious about all of it!

And with that, Goodbye 2022! Hello 2023!!!

(we couldn’t last until midnight and did the East Coast countdown instead lol)
