2013 in review

I know I know I have been majoring slacking on the blogging. Life just gets a little crazy sometimes. I also got a bit consumed with my Christmas project. Anyways...it's a New Year! A new chance to make it great. I always love the new year and the great possibility it brings and the fact that there are a lot of other people out there with some of the same goals. So in review of 2013 to bring a bright and happy 2014 here it is: The good, the bad and the in between.

As you can see we had so much more good happen this year then bad . We had many life changes which has helped me to be a little bit better with change. Although I'd prefer not so many life changes this year. =) I have great hopes for this year and many things to look forward to. I have a great sister in law who is getting me excited and motivated to run the Salt Lake Half Marathon in April ....so it's time to start now! May this year be a great one for you and your family.
