Hello 2014!

I’m still not used to saying that. How did 2013 go so quickly? Am I the only one that feels this way?

Hope you had a very Happy New Year. I really enjoyed taking a break to catch up with friends and family. I couldn’t wait to get back ot work though as I have so many ideas and projects planned for this year.

I’m going to do a few posts looking back over the year that was, because looking back it was pretty awesome. I feel like 2013 was an amazing year and I’m even more excited about 2014.

First up let’s look back at the posts you loved the most in 2013.
