Decade Recap

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a great night celebrating or going to bed at 10pm like we did :) As many of you probably did, I spent a chunk of my time yesterday looking at Instagram posts of people's decade recaps! Every year I make a "top 9" post of my top 9 Instagram photos of the year. I always love looking back on things that happened over the last year, so I thought a whole decade recap would be fun to do! Going through all of these old pictures is really making me appreciate current iPhone photo quality, some of these photos are so bad. I started this decade as a freshman in high school and ended the decade about to start my career as a nurse. I hope you all enjoy taking a peak at my highlight reel of the last 10 years!

I went on my first cruise, started high school, joined student council, and had an ungodly amount of sleepovers with my girlfriends.

2011

I turned 16 & got my drivers license (what an exciting year).
