2015 in review.

I kicked off 2015 laughing my ass off with Andrea and Jackie at Kyle’s New Year’s party:January 2015 In Review. 1342Then I settled on my theme for the year: With Intention. Meaning, however I feel like I want to define it at any given time, do things WITH intention.With Intention

January:

I spent a lot of time with my family, especially my dad. My grandpa passed away in December of 2014 and so my mother basically moved to Arizona for a few months (was it that long, really?). Dad and I ate dinner together, watched movies, put together puzzles. I absolutely LOVED the time I got to spend with him, among others, obvs. #missedmymomtootho. January also marked the 1 year anniversary of my brother Markie passing away. Time really does just keep going on. It was a hard year without him – but thanks to the endless amount of love from those around me (seriously J, I still cry when I think about coming downstairs to an orchid and note from you), I made it out okay.

February:

This was turning point month for me. Was still soaking in the fact that my parents had moved back to the US, was going to Xtend Barre classes on the regular, swimming, eating healthier (I mean, I gave up SUGAR or lent!), and was just generally in love with myself. It was also really warm outside and the haze wasn’t all that bad.

It was a good month.
