out with the old. in with the new.
reflections on 2017:
- the year started on a sad note as i watched a man be sworn in as president of the united states. a horrible man who should not be the president of the united states.
- i watched my love play baseball at baseball camp.
- i did a whirlwind tour of colleges back east with randi {and got to see the white house}.
- i hiked havasupai {check off the bucket list} with my brother.
- i watched cade play in all-stars...he was a rockstar.
- i kissed randi goodbye as she set off to grow and learn in india.
- i relaxed on the beaches of la jolla.
- i took a college spanish class {and got a 97%}.
- i hiked the grand canyon with my sister in law {and friend}.
- i applied {and was declined} to grad school. {still a growing and learning experience}.
- i basked in the sunshine with my love in playa del carmen.
- i spent thanksgiving with friends in one of my favorite places {greer}.
- i explored the caribbean sea on a ship with my loves over christmas.
- {i also laughed and cried. i loved until it hurt. i grew as a person and cherished life}.
looking forward to 2018:
- more running
- more reading
- more diy
- learning more spanish
- exploring new places {road trips? camping? backpacking?}
- more blogging
- more volunteering
- continuing to learn, grow, live, and laugh!
- {this will also be the year i will watch one of my babies gradate high school and enter college...and the other one will begin his last year of middle school...and i will turn 45}.
- lots of scones
- boston cream pie cupcakes
- rose cupcakes
- soft pretzels
- sunflower cupcakes
- buttermilk biscuits {reminding me of my nana}
- lots and lots of chocolate chip cupcakes
- chocolate cookies with peanut butter filling
