What a year 2017 was. I’m not going to go into the negative, because we want to start 2018 off on a positive note. But even through some of the tough times, we did some fantastic and amazing things last year. The year flew by, but we are so looking forward to even more adventures in 2018!

Our 2017 Highlights
01. We saw Kate Middleton in person in London. It was such a surreal moment to finally see her!
02. Our fjord tour in Norway was a moment that we will remember for the rest of our lives. The quiet and stillness of the water and mountains was one of our favorite things of the year.
03. Moving into our new apartment was a well timed change and really allowed us to explore our interior designer sides!
04. We got to see Adele perform for the 2nd time. It was possibly her last show ever, and one of our favorite moments!
05. Swimming with dolphins was the number one thing on both of our bucket lists, so getting to do that in the Bahamas was one of our highlights of the year!

Our 2017 Travels
Paris & Bordeaux France – We visited our brother in his new city, and spent Valentine’s Day at Disneyland Paris!
Oslo, Flåm, & Bergen Norway – One of the coolest trips we have ever been on. Flåm especially was such a cool little town.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – We went on a girls road trip to visit one of our best friends from college!
Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas – This was a place we had always dreamed of visiting, and it didn’t disappoint. Atlantis is a very family friendly destination!
Las Vegas, Nevada – We have both been to Vegas several times, but this was Shelby’s first time as a legal adult! The Neon Museum was our favorite thing we did!
London, England – One of our favorite places in the world is London, but we spent this trip eating our way around the city! Seeing Adele and Kate Middleton were just cherries on top of our trip!
The Berkshires – We love little getaways out of the city, and this was a new destination for both of us. It was an amazing long weekend trip!
Upstate New York- We went upstate and stayed in a teepee for the night. What an experience that was! We are so glad we did it though!
Asheville, North Carolina – We went for a long weekend in Asheville with our parents, and had such a great time. It’s a fun little city with a lot of character. Visiting the Biltmore Estate was a highlight for sure!

2017 Challenges
Ashley was diagnosed with a brain tumor. How scary does that sound? What a whirlwind it was to deal with that, but we got through her surgery, and she has made a full recovery.
I, Shelby, am now dealing with some autoimmune diagnosis’ of my own. I will talk more about that this new year and how I am treating and recovering from them.
We lost our grandpa this year, which was a really tough time. We actually found out about that on the same day we got Ashley’s brain tumor diagnosis. So proud of us for making it through that day.
