What was the most exciting thing you did in 2018?
These are lots of things .hopefully this year will be all good things will happen
Great roundup. Always fun to look back at the highlights of your year!
It sounds like you had a busy year packed with fun and great memories!
Really nice review in pics. Something I should do but to be honest I always forget to take pictures.
Looks like you had an awesome year! The most exciting thing we did last year was enjoying a ride in a convertible during our Las Vegas vacation. Had a blast!
I think this is totally awesome!! that you captured your whole year like this, Definitely a great idea for some wall hanging.

Its nice to be able to recap the prior year. Gives you things to remember and re – enjoy. I think we all should write a few things in a book for each month. Think Im gonna start doing that .
I like the way you did this. I should do something similar for 2021.
