This year? Kind of amazing. Probably the most creative, fun filled, growth filled, challenging year I have had in my adult life. I have spent so much time working on myself as a person, and while I am miles away from being perfect or even where I would like to be, overall I am really happy with me and with my life. So many awesome things happened this year, we must review the highlights.We papered our floor with book pages. It took two months, and was back breaking work, but we transformed our living room into a work of art.
I completed a 35 Day Project in honor of my 35th birthday. 35 days of random acts of kindness. Many of my friends and family members participated as well. It was amazing.
We watched our nephew graduate from high school.
We reached two geocaching milestones. We found our 200th geocache, then we cached every day for the entire month of August, our longest streak ever. I also got to introduce my niece, nephew and his girlfriend, brother and brother in law to geocaching.
We watched our good friends get married.
We visited many of the filming locations from the movie The Shawshank Redemption.
We watched my brother get married. Later on in the summer we got to visit them and see their new house as well.
We went to our first comics show.
I saw the largest yarn bombing in America, also known as Knit the Bridge. It was while my niece was visiting us, so I took her to see it. It was one of the many awesome things we did together during her visit.
We saw John Hodgman perform, and met him after the show. He totally knew our names, because we had been all over social media talking about the show. Later, when I reviewed the show, he shared my post. I was so ridiculously star struck over the whole thing.
We saw the giant rubber duck make its way into Pittsburgh and attended the huge party on the bridge.
We took a whirlwind trip to New York City to see John Roderick and The Long Winters perform.
I made an entire Christmas Tree's decorations out of old book pages. It is so beautiful I cannot yet bring myself to take it down, despite the fact that it has been up since before Thanksgiving.
I was offered pretty much the perfect job for me. I have been there for a month now, and the giddiness still has not faded.
So, this a look back at my year. Pretty amazing, right? I kind of think of it as a montage. And every montage needs a soundtrack. So here are some of my favorite songs from 2013 to go along with my look back at this wonderful year.
