This year treated me well and as a result, absolutely FLEW by! I always remember my parents telling me that time just flew by and I did not feel like I could relate. This year was different!

This time last year my boyfriend and I were still in a long distance relationship while he was finishing up Pharmacy school. Needless to say that semester completely flew by. That semester for me was spent hanging out with friends, watching a lot of Ru’Paul’s Drag Race at the Hippo as well as many other nights out and about. I finished up my last required class (thank god!) and was able to enjoy a few months without class. May brought about Dylan’s graduation and his eventual move to Baltimore. We were fortunate enough to go to Crete, Greece for a few weeks for a conference as well as some much needed vacation time. The summer was spent settling into our new apartment and getting Dylan settled into work. I was able to open up my Etsy shop in August and lucky enough to go to Japan for a few days to give a talk. The last few months of the year flew by with 2 trips home to Idaho, a craft show and the unexpectedly busy Chirstmas season!

Instead of writing more, here are the highlights in photos and a few of my favorite creations May we all have a great and prosperous year ahead of us!
