Welcome 2014

With the holidays come and gone and new years resolutions already broken I am determined to NOT break any of my resolutions this year including the one to blog more. I am aiming to post once a week, and since this is the first full week in January I thought I'd be a great day to start. My first post of 2014 will be my list of 40 things I have done in 2013 that are things that I have either never done before, or things that I am proud of. So here goes!
