A fabulous year

2013 was a fabulous year. Maybe even our best one yet!  It was very low key, no major events or big decisions to make, and LOTS of fun and adventure.  I think this is the first year that we didn't rent a Uhaul and pack up all of our stuff for one reason or another.  This was also the first year that I didn't change jobs.  I can't even tell you how AWESOME it was to spend the entire year working at a job I absolutely love and not having the stress of moving so we could spend our time doing other fun things.  I will do my best to summarize our amazing year:
