Seeing all these photos, I would say, I definitely had a great year. I can't say it hasn't been challenging, as it offered a lot of challenges as well. But it has made me better and stronger than I was before.

I'm quite excited for 2017. I know it's still going to be full of tae, but I am going to make it awesome. So whatever 2017 brings, just bring it on baby!
