All I have to say is that “26” has a lot to live up to…25 was quite possibly the best year yet. So many wonderful and impacting life changes…traveling, family, friends, a new job and new “home”, a life changing break up from an emotionally oppressive and detrimental relationship, plenty of beach, sand and wine, new friends, running a marathon, weddings, engagements, babies, visiting Paris, Spain and ending the year with an unforgettable trip to Vegas. I really am so lucky and so incredibly blessed. It is truly the people in my life who have shaped who I am…but I think most importantly when reflecting back on my 25th year I have really embraced my goal of  enjoying the company of “Liz”. As I sit here watching my favorite movie Love Actually in my PJs with a big glass of wine I could not be happier 🙂
