I’m a few days late posting because I had a hard time making myself finish up this wrap up. I kept thinking of more things I wanted to add. This past year was great, and I can’t really complain. I’m sure I’ll miss something with this year in review, but I’ll do my best.
This year Taylor and I :
Paid off my car and his student loan (if only we could pay off mine!)
Waited (not so patiently) to find out if I would still have a job (yes I would!)
Celebrated our first wedding anniversary
And I:
Ran a 5k
Completed the Warrior Dash
Celebrated
- New Year’s Day in New York City
- My 29th birthday
Cooked – Plenty of tasty recipes including Pioneer Woman Mac & Cheese; Pico de Gallo; Tequila Shrimp; Goat Cheese and Carmelized Onion Pizza. There are even more that I somehow didn’t get around to posting about.

Read – Don’t judge. Even though I’m like 10 years behind the times on some of these, they were all very good, and easy reads.
