I’ve always been a sucker for those ‘Year in Review’ blog posts or magazine articles. I thought I’d share my 2015 year in review as my first post for 2016. Feel free to share highlights of your year in the comments below.

*2015 marked my second year as a Girl Scout leader, and my first year as ‘Cookie Manager’. That was an experience.

*I was published in Lurking in the Deep anthology put out by Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly.

*I participated in #OTSPsecretsister and met a lot of really amazing bloggers and people.

*Spent the weekend at the ocean with a great group of girlfriends and had a blast exploring a new to us beach.

*I went to Emerald City Comicon with a great group of friends, and had a ‘true’ con experience complete with cosplay for the first time and having way too much fun at panels.

*I lost 27lbs

*Went apple picking with some friends on the other side of the state and brought back nearly two hundred pounds of apples. We were still using them up until Christmas Eve.

*2015 was my third year as a ML for Pierce County during November for NaNoWriMo.

*I completed three 5k fun runs with friends.

*Went on two road trips to two amazing concerts. Garth Brooks in Portland, and Papa Roach/Fiver Finger Death Punch in Everett.

2015 was a lot of fun and full of adventures. I’m really looking forward to 2016.
