Snapshot of 2014

With Christmas ending and New years right around the corner comes the feeling of how in the world did this year pass by so quickly. I know this happens to everyone and I have heard it is worse when you have children. Sometimes it is important to take a step back and truly think about all that has occurred this year.  We had some big milestones in our little family this year and I am thankful that I have this little blog to document it all.

Here is a monthly snapshot of 2014. While writing this I realized some months there was typical date nights, new recipes and fitness adventures. Other months were jammed packed with trips, birthdays and vacations (Hello June!!).

January: Experienced my first snow while living in Cary. It was a fun experience and an added plus not having to worry about salting our sidewalks. One of the perks of apartment living.

February: Spent a week in Washington, DC for the National Association of  School Psychologist Annual Conference. Looking back, I realized I did not blog much about it. We had a great time visiting some national monuments and exploring snowy DC.

March: Celebrated Easter with my family and created a new recipe featuring my favorite holiday candy. I also ran my favorite race to date- Tobacco Trail Half Marathon.

April:  I ran my first marathon and spent spring break on a mother/daughter cruise to the Caribbean.

May: I completed a fitness challenge to get ready for summer with NHerShoes. It was a great way to expidite my fitness goals. 

June: Joe and I celebrated out two year anniversary with a Mediterranean Cruise. It was a bumpy start getting to the cruise ship but we ended up being okay and have a great story. We visited Athens, Ephesus, Santorini, Mkynos, Rhodes and Naples. Following our cruise we spent three days in Rome. It was a trip of a lifetime! 

July: Spent 4th of July week at Topsail Beach with my family. We braved the one and only hurricane of the season Arthur while we were there. 

August: Started a new  job closer to home complete with my own office. I am beyond thankful for my new school and love the teachers and students I work with. 

September: Spent our weekends at the beach with my family. A trip to the amazing Britt's doughnuts also occurred. 

October: Visited a haunted corn maze, the NC state fair and ran a half marathon all in one weekend!! We also spent a weekend in the mountains celebrating Joe's 30th birthday. 

November: Pulled a ligament and was put on rest from running. Fell in love with Pure Barre while I healed. 

December: Celebrated the Christmas season with friends and family! 

Can't wait to see what 2015 has in store for us!
