2013 In Review

2013 was a pretty big year. I kind of feel like it just started, and here we are, New Year's Eve.

So what happened in 2013? Well...

• Scott and I celebrated knowing each other for 10 years. Yup, a whole decade. 

• I had two posts featured on BlogHer. This one on handwritten recipes, and you know, the one on how bartending is like parenting. 

• We survived the great flu/strep epidemic. 

• I ran another Princess Half Marathon and threw up after a race for the first time ever. 

• I said goodbye to my Grandma. I'm pretty sure my church has played "Here I Am, Lord" every other weekend since then to test the strength of my mascara. 

• I watched as another Pope was elected. This is the third Pope in my lifetime. 

• I experienced something I never want to experience ever again. 

• I completely replanned an entire conference within 45 days, and managed to keep some sanity.

• Beyoncé...

• Boston. 

• I turned 30. 

• My kiddos turned 5. 

• I saw Paul freakin' McCartney in concert. Thank you, Scott!

• Scott and I celebrated 7 years together.

• I sat through my first graduation ceremony for my kiddos and fought back tears the whole time. 

• I decided running 19.3 miles in one weekend was a good idea. Cathy, Lorren and Michelle agreed.

• Cathy and I went to Washington D.C. and a) were not arrested b) were not placed on any most wanted lists (that we know of) and c) did not get lost. 

• I laid down the law on the Harlem Shake. 

• I was diagnosed with a non allergy to the environment. Yeah, you read that right. 

• I stayed in a haunted hotel. 

• My kiddos started kindergarten. 

• My backside was in the campus newspaper. 

• For the first time ever, I didn't complete a race. 

• I ran a total of 212.64 miles this year. That's insane.

• I found my voice and my niche. I like both, a lot.

It was a busy year. I cannot wait to see what 2014 brings.
