Twenty fourteen was oh-so good to me. I'd even dare to say it was my best year yet. I learned more about myself, my church, and life than I would have ever guessed possible. I made memories worth keeping forever and ever. So many very cherished memories. 

I can't describe how excited (and, I can't deny,  unexplainably, slightly nervous) I am to see what twenty fifteen has in store for me! There's much to learn, much to see, and many memories to make!
