wrapping up 2013.

2014, you have a lot to live up to... 

i can honestly say that 2013 has been one of the best {if not the best} years of my life.

it's going to be hard to beat the birth of a child...but somehow, i think 2014 might just be even better.

and because you are all dying to know, no i didn't finish my bucket list, but i came pretty darn close.

and that makes me very happy! 

here are some highlights:
a quick side note:
 i have many, many more pictures,
which are way better than these,
 but they are on the husband's camera.
maybe i'll get a chance to share them someday soon!
until then, you'll have to live with my crumby iphone pictures!

i hope you all had a fabulous holiday season, and that as you pack up your decorations, your home is still full of love and happiness.

here's to 2014!
