What. A. Year.
It has been incredible!
There have been so many ups and downs but at the end of it all, all I want to do is thank 2014 for giving me the most amazing year yet. I have done so much, experienced so many new things, met a variety of interesting people, made many new and dear friends, laughed more than I could ever imagine, said so many goodbyes and even more hellos, been more stressed out than ever before, had a few curve balls thrown at me, cried A LOT, had countless adventures, made millions of memories, said more prayers of gratitude than I thought I would ever say, come closer to my Heavenly Father than ever before, given more hugs and kisses to my family and other loved ones than I ever remember giving, rethought my life plan over and over again, thought about the future more than ever, found a future and started my life as an adult.
I have no idea how to sum up the amount of adventures and stories I have experience this year but I thought I would try to sum up the year 2014 month by month in four bullet points or less. (With a variety of pictures of course).
