2021. In so many ways this year felt like a rinse and repeat of 2020, but in so many other ways it was a spectacular year despite the upheaval. It was actually hard to pick one photo for each month. Adventures returned. Challenges were handled. Fun was had. Chapters were written. Family was reunited.

Sometimes, it is easy to feel like so much was still being taken from us this past year. But, I'd rather see it that we thrived. That is not to say there weren't hard moments and dark times. There were. But there were more moments of happiness, joy, and adventure.
What will 2022 bring? Who knows, but I carry a lot of amazing memories from 2021 with me into this new year, that is for sure!
Happy new year!
