2015 Year End Review || Personal Post || Knoxville TN Photographer
2015 was a year of change, a year of great accomplishments and a year of personal/spiritual/business growth. I was blessed to travel, I was able to cultivate friendships both new and old and tried to live in the moment. I was silly and I laughed until I cried. I walked through some hard things with friends and they walked through hard things with me. I made a point to be more attentive to Bailey (my dog) and to spend as much time as I could with family. I did some stupid things, some right out scary things and some things I’ve waited my whole life to do. I was reminded that family is everything, the material things are fickle and that God’s love overcomes all language barriers.
I’ve been preparing for 2016 already. I’ve been praying for guidance on choice that will be made and where God wants to lead me. I have a few mission trips in the works serving as their photographer, planning a cross country drive which is a bucket list item, I’d like to go on vacation as a family with my parents, take some small road trips, give back locally, serve more at church, finish remodeling my house, get on a better schedule, build my business, take time to hang out with friends, stay off social media so much and take up a new hobby of skeet shooting.
I can only pray that the upcoming year will be as great as the last.
Cheers to 2016!
