WOOHOO! WE DID IT! WE ARE WORLD RECORD HOLDERS!

okay, well, we technically did it in november when we gave our last professional speech on the continent of antarctica but now we are super celebrating because it’s official!

Screen Shot 2016-01-08 at 10.16.43 AM

you can read more about it HERE as well as watch the video my very talented husband put together:

i shared this on social media yesterday when we got word so thank you to those who got excited and tweeted us, commented on the IG or sent an email! as we all know…it has to be blogged about or did it reaaaaally happen?! ha!

this post is going out later because i deemed it necessary to take ourselves out to breakfast this morning to celebrate! we opted for a no-phones meal so you will just have to imagine what my ultra delicious vanilla pancakes and his extra crispy bacon and eggs looked like.

it really is incredible what dreaming big can do for your self, your relationship and the world! thank you to each and every member of our Map to Dreaming BIG community (our dream could not have been fulfilled without you) and shout out to our new best friends from antarctica for listening to our speech in the bitter cold!

if you’re reading this now,  thank you for supporting us and encouraging us through the hard/challenging/exciting/rewarding/expensive/fulfilling goal!

you are worthy to chase after your dreams, you are capable of fulfilling them, and the world needs you to so get cracking!
