This is one of the most emotional and exciting days of my life. It has been 4.5 years in the making and I can now officially say that I am a United States citizen. 🇺🇸 There’s so much that I am feeling and thinking and can’t really process it all. It’s definitely bittersweet and I know that Costa Rica is always going to be a part of me, but this a monumental and life changing moment. I am incredibly thankful for everyone that has been there for me since I started this process back in 2017 and up until now. Even the people that just texted or prayed one time, know that it meant the world to me❤️ I know for a fact that I couldn’t have made it this far without all the people that we’ve surrounded ourselves with the last few years. Watch out airports I’m coming in hot with a new passport and I get to vote now! USA BABY🇺🇸❤️😎

Our last day in Montreal has been one of the very best ones🙌🏼 We went to Les Glissades in Piedmont which is basically a snow adventure park and had the best time!! 😍 We tubed down the mountain a few times, bobsled, did some vortex 360 situation 😅 and I am impressed at the fact that I am in one piece🤓 We then continued our trek to Mont Tremblant National Park and had the most beautiful views 🤩 and also was the coldest in my life I have ever experienced. It was -18 Celsius (-1 for my Fahrenheit people). Also saw ice sculptures for the first time ever, talk about talent? And fell in love with the sky for the millionth time🥰 We’d gotten a lot of mixed reviews about visiting Canada in the winter but we 10/10 recommend ✈️😎

My last day of the year looked like this✨🤍 We went to the Point-a-Caillere museum in Montreal and then got ready to ring in the New Year with my aunts. I know 2021 has been a hard year for the most part, and it’s had its toll on me too. But it also brought so much joy to my life…🥰 Ricky and I were able to travel so much more than we imagined especially in the middle of covid and we are so lucky to experience cool things together✈️ After years of struggling with a sense of un-belonging (not from here, not from there, not from anywhere) I am finally content where I am and feel at home again in Arkansas, which for the people that are close to me know how hard that’s been. And for the ones that have experienced it or are going through it, it’s so hard to express how it feels but know that it gets better. 🙌🏼 I found things in life that I am good at in 2021 (which sounds broad and underrated), but was such a life changing and pivotal moment. I have learned a lot about myself and the things I can give to others, I am grateful for 2021. I hope 2022 brings more learning and experiences and moments.
