15 things for 2015

I had planned on doing this really long-winded spiel about what 2014 meant to me, but really it breaks down into a couple of bullet points:

• we moved cross country in May from Texas to Virginia
• i held four jobs this year--3 were pretty rough and 1 is fantastic
• we had a pretty healthy year over all, except for this last stretch where even the dog has a cold
• we learned just how much (and how little) we need to get by--didn't really want to learn that lesson, but knowledge is knowledge, am i right?

Didn't take long to sum up the year, did it?

I love resolutions but really, they're just a bunch of work. And after a while, I hate work. But I love adventures, so I figured the best thing to do is to make a 2015 list of adventures I want to check off.

So here goes:

15 things in 2015

• Try out for a cooking reality show (I'm looking at you, Anthony Bourdain!)
• Try hot yoga
