Happy New Year, everyone! I have to say that I was a little sad to say good-bye to 2013, since it was one of the best years of my life. The biggest event of my life occurred last year: We got engaged and immediately started planning our wedding. In August, my friends threw me an amazing bachelorette party, where we swung on trapezes high above Manhattan. My mom and brother came into town a week before the ceremony, and it was fun to spend time together as a family in NYC. On September 14, Erik and I said our I-do's on the best day ever (with a lot of help from our friends).
My goal was not to let wedding stuff take over my life, and I think I did a pretty good job of it. I went on surf trips to Costa Rica (twice!), and filled my time fun active adventures: a yoga retreat in Vermont, girls' trip in Southhampton, freezing camping weekend upstate, and spa trip to Arizona. I also made multiple trips home to North Carolina to spend time with mom. Erik and I also went to San Francisco to celebrate a wedding and visit family, and rung in our mini-moon with a blissful trip to Negril.
Oh! And, last but not least, I met a lot of deadlines and took on some office gigs, plus trained for and completed two half-marathons and the full NYC marathon (my first!). What a year, right? Here's hoping that 2014 year will be equally exciting. It's looking good, since it's my year -- the year of the horse!
