the year that changed my life

Whew! 2013 was the busiest, craziest, most life-changing, most precious year of my life. For as long as I live, I will never forget this year.

Here is 2013 in review

January
Judson took me on a romantic NYE date and made me strongly believe he was going to propose to me that night.
He didn't and I gave up thinking it was going to happen any time soon. But he was my first NYE midnight kiss!
We took a January Short course class together!
We really started the year off exercising all the time. Judson and me were in a cross training class together. The year did not end this way.
