2015 // A Crazy Year of Firsts
I don’t know about y’all but this year has been quite crazy for my husband Derek and I. After getting married in the beginning of the year, we packed our things into my little Toyota Corolla and moved to Austin, Texas for Derek’s job. Leaving behind our families, church family, jobs, friends and small town…

Sacramento Trip
