In celebration of the new decade we find ourselves reflecting on some of our favorite memories of the last year. This past year is worth mentioning specifically because it brought us through many changes, some we planned for, some were unexpected. Regardless of the circumstances these changes caused us to grow and stretch ourselves in new directions, to open our hearts in ways we didn't expect, and to expand our horizons beyond places we could even begin to imagine.
Happy New Year!
