I bought my first home. Holding the keys was surreal. Walking into it everyday is still surreal. I hope this butterfly feeling sticks around for a long time. Move in day was also one of the best days of my life. After years of dreaming, months of searching, 4 months reconstruction, and 6 hours of non-stop moving I looked around to see family and friends standing there with me in my new home I just started to cry. Tear s of relief, tears of happiness, tears of gratitude. They surrounded me in a giant hug and I had never felt so loved. It was a moment I’ll cherish forever.
My first magazine feature in People StyleWatch. Such a cool experience!
My first visit to Seattle. What an amazing city with rich history and delicious food! Getting to see the fall leaves was my absolute favorite part.
One of my best friends of 10 years finally moved back to California this year and is going to be my roommate. One minute with her and I am already laughing my ass off. She gets me and I look forward to many Harry Potter and Twilight movie marathons!!
Traveling to Kauai for the first time with my family. They drive me crazy sometimes, but I cannot imagine life without them.
Brendan and Rocio’s Wedding in October. Being Brian’s date and seeing our longtime friends finally tie the knot at a gorgous venue in Palm Springs that over looked the enire city was a magical night.
Another great gift in 2015 – finding a job that I love and a team that is just incredible. I could not be happier.
