Happy Monday! Before the year starts to fly right past us too quickly, I am sharing a little look back to 2021. I am going to say, overall, 2021 was a hard year, one I was not sad to say goodbye to. However, I also want to remember the good from the year, so that is what I am highlighting here. These pictures help forget the hard moments of day to day.
January
My husband and I took a weekend trip to the Delta area of Mississippi for a food tour and we visited the Grammy Musuem in Cleveland, MS. There is one other location, which is located in Los Angeles.
February
We celebrated my oldest daughter's 20th birthday.
We had record snow and we did not leave our house by car for 6 days. We did take a walk to our neighborhood hill for sledding, but that was it. I loved watching it snow!
March
My youngest and I flew to Richmond, Virginia for Spring Break to visit my brother and his family.
We drove to Williamsburg for the day as well.
April
We visited a Buc-ees, the closest one to us, about 3 hours away. It was quite exciting :)
The main reason for that trip was to see Nate Bargatze, who was hilarious.
I took a few days and drove to Indiana to see a sweet friend and her husband and new baby.
May
We went to a Redbirds game, our AAA baseball team.
My husband and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary.
June
Zoo date with my greats.
We took a family vacation to Florida.
I flew to Philadelphia for a few days to visit with a friend I met in South America who was in the states. I was able to run the Rocky steps, a bucket list item for me.
July
My husband and I took a weekend trip to an area in Tennessee we had never visited.
August
I started work at a new part time job, which I love. We hosted our annual 5K race.
My youngest started her senior year of high school after a full year of virtual. She never went in person any of her junior year.
I took a long weekend trip and went to North Carolina to visit a friend and my in-laws too.
September
We were able to visit with some of our dearest friends who just moved back to the states from Bangkok as missionaries. This was a life giving day.
We went white water rafting as a family Labor Day weekend.

You have some great highlights from the year... Love all of the quick trips that you got in to see family and friends during the year. They look like a lot of fun. My girls would LOVE to see Harry Styles (sp?) in concert but I am not a concert person at all. Have a great Monday!
