2019 Year In Review!

Happy New Year’s Eve Friends!

Celebrating the end of the decade by sharing my some of my favorite moments and looks from 2019!

But first let’s think about all we have done in the last decade! Here’s a recap of my last 10 years! I graduated high school in 2010 (OMG) then moved to Fort Myers to attend school at FGCU. In 2011 I started working as a ballroom dance teacher and learned some hard lessons about the dance community and love. I also at met and started dating Travis! In In 2012 I moved to Orlando to continue my degree at UCF and to give my long distance relationship a shot in the same city! In 2013 I interned for Orlando Style Magazine and started a minor in Journalism and discovered another passion of writing! In 2014 I graduated college with my degree in Photography and a minor in Journalism. In 2015 Travis and I moved in together and I got my first job out of school at an art gallery. In 2016 I started Lifestyle with Laramie and building my blog as well as my photo business and met our favorites Chris and Mer through Instagram. In 2017 Travis and I got engaged and moved to Lake Nona. In 2018 Travis and I went on our first cruise together to watch our friends Chris and Mer get married, we traveled to the West Coast, me for the first time and finally started wedding planning!

All that has brought us to this year! 2019 was pretty good to us! We had all our wedding festivities as we get married February 2020. We had our bachelor and bachelorette parties, my bridal shower, shot tons of fun looks for the blog, went on our annual Daytona Beach trip, made beach trips, Disney days, starting dancing again, let go of the negative, made room for the positive and turned 28! I can’t tell you how excited I am for the new year! This new year has so many amazing things on the horizon already it’s going to be an amazing new beginning! Here’s a look back at some of my favorites from this year!

Cheers!
