Personally I'm not a big believer in the idea that everything happens for a reason... But things sure do have a way of happening. And like it or not, we all have to find a way to keep moving forward. This year, for me, was a year of forward momentum.
My plan is to pull together at least some variation of a recap summary of all the highs (and lows) in an upcoming post or series of posts before the year closes. Hopefully haha, bc let's be real -- those posts can be a real bear to write!! They're often worth it tho. Personally, I love reading them on other blogs, and love reliving my own too.
epic compilation video here!!! play with sound ON!!

And for shits and giggles, since it's a Friday anyway, here are the compilation videos from years past too. I love these videos so so so much. And it's so important for me to look back and remember what felt like a solid WIN back in 2014, for instance. The bloopers tho... ahaha, obvi they never get old either ;)

I always look forward to your complication videos :) I still get a knot in my stomach watching him half jump and get stuck over that xc jump. Its been an amazing journey for you and Charlie.
ReplyDeleteHa I’m glad you like them! I have maybe a little too much fun making them lol... tho yea agreed about that moment when Charlie got stuck on the coop at plantation. Honestly that was the moment when I was making the stand alone blooper reel when I realized ... eh mayyyybe this is too sad for me to be a “funny” video and that it needed the good moments side by side to balance it out ...
