They say its your blogiversary

014

Hey everyone! Happy Monday! I canโ€™t believe Iโ€™ve been blogging for a WHOLE YEAR!!! Iโ€™m so happy that I decided to start this little hobby โ€“when the pilot told me I needed a new one after many hours spent online shopping– and have gotten to meet and โ€œknowโ€ so many amazing bloggies ๐Ÿ˜€ Thank you so much for a truly wonderful year.

So much has happenedโ€ฆ.

I said โ€œsee ya laterโ€ to the pilot for a 6 month deployment

Met some bloggers and now friends in โ€œreal lifeโ€

Taught aerobics, kept working as a personal trainer and dropped out of the MBA program here (Iโ€™ll probably be starting school again at another university in the fall)

-Fell in love with raw food (thanks to Megan), yoga and running

And blogged my little heart out ๐Ÿ˜€

Thank you to all of you for a beautiful year and for making me so honored to be a part of an amazing community!
