Casey's 2015 Holiday Update

2015! And what a year it was!

I have been very busy, per usual. Lots of working, (still at Downtown Dental-- 3 years in January!) lots of traveling, and many memories made along the way.


I'm just going to make a month by month list of all the places we visited this year as opposed to delving into each trip, because the adventures were numerous!

January- Breckenridge, CO [NYE and Skiing]

Heading to the slopes in Breck!

February- Cozumel, Mexico [WARM WEATHER ESCAPE]

Sunset in Cozumel

March-April were spent being chilly in Chicago and celebrating a 2 year dating anniversary :)

May- Nashville, TN  [Mother's Day with mama Brenda and Kelly + kids]

June- D.C. and Baltimore  [Crab Festival]

CRAB FEAST LUNCH in Baltimore, MD

July- San Francisco, CA  [1st time to visit an old H.S. friend]

My friend Katie and I in front of the Golden Gate Bridge

July(round 2)- Cleveland, OH [Wedding]

Brittany and I also were able to visit Grandma and Grandpa when she was here visiting in July-- here's a photo from that:

August and September were spent moving into/organizing the new place where JR and I co-habitate!

October- Seattle, WA  [1st time to explore and celebrate JR's                              cousin's wedding]

No more travels have happened since Seattle, and we're now in November. This month has been pretty cool thanks to Kelly and Henry, because they made me an Auntie x3! Tess Pauline is such a sweetie so lucky to join a happy, loving family :) I'm so thankful for a new snuggle buddy!

Sophia- 5, Henry- 3, Tess- on her birthday (November 3, 2015)

A couple other exciting things happened this year related to my favorite sports team-- the Chicago Blackhawks! I'm still a newbie hockey fan, but I can smack-talk with the best of 'em. I enjoy learning more and more about the sport and truly love watching it. (It doesn't hurt that my team has created a dynasty) JR and I were able to attend Game 4 of the Nashville Predators series (yes, that's the one that went to triple-OT with an eventual Hawks victory!)

JR has a trend going for Blackhawks-themed birthdays because this year we got to touch the cup! Pretty much the coolest 6 seconds of my life.

Met the Stanley Cup and Chicago's Field Museum (10/14/15)

 
Just writing about all these adventures is wearing me out, but this is how I love spending my time, and I'm lucky to have some of the best people to share it with.

Wishing you all a healthy and happy holiday season!!

Cheers!
