1. A huge thank you to you, my dear readers for sticking with me through a rather sparse blogging year. You're all fantastic!

2. Working up the endurance to RUN up to 3/4 of a mile on the treadmill. It's just a piddly amount compared to what most people can run, but for me it's a big deal. Hopefully I'll get up to a mile and more in the new year!

3.Making two new friends via the interwebs. My Captivating Canadian Matty and the lovely Miss Kimma.

4. Middle brother got engaged, and this year, after waiting 30+ years I'll finally have a sister of my own!

5. Ending the year with a weight lost total of 65 pounds. Eep!

6. Not having to wear a seat belt extender on the flight I was on in October. Guys, I almost burst out in the full on "Ugly Cry" in the middle of a super crowded, rowdy flight to Las Vegas over that one.

7. Caravan-ing non-stop for 20 hours with 12 of my favorite people to see my youngest brother graduate from college. It was a bit chaotic, but oh so much fun.

8. Breathtaking new views of Glacier.

9. My Lord giving me just the right amount courage to do "The Brave Thing" in a few social situations.

10. Being so incredibly blessed to be able to spend another year with my amazing family and fantastic friends.

Here's to a new year filled with family, old and new friends, a dash of adventure, a bit of travel and a generous helping of love and laughter.

And to start it off right, here have a laughing Richard Armitage. You're welcome. ;)

(Swoons upon swoons...)
