^^^we ended 2013 with a road trip to california and had so much fun every day that we’ve been here! it’s been sunny, 80 degree weather the whole time! it’s no surprise that we went to the beach almost every day! it’s gonna be hard to go back to frigid weather in utah :/

well there you have it! our year in a (big) nutshell. i loved this year so much. i’m looking forward to this new year and i’m just so thankful that i have riley with me to experience every high and every low that 2014 may have to offer. cheers and happy new year!
