Life Food and Beer Turns ONE!

LF&B turns one today! So much has happened over the last year. I love having my blog to look back on it all. I thought, I would go through some of the highlights of the past year.

The blog has come a long way over the past year. My pictures are getting better

They started out like this…

And now look like this…

Granted this isn’t great, but a million times better!

My goals for the next year…

• More Travel Post
• More Cooking
• Less Hangovers… Maybe. The stories that come with hangovers are always the best.
• Increase my Blog Traffic
• I want to run a 4K and 5K in January and not embarrass myself! So, maybe some  workout post? Maybe!!
• Brewing more beer.

I would like to thank everyone that reads my blog. It means so much that people read it and like it! I would like to thank Huck for proofreading my blog (HAHA) and putting up with cold food while I get pictures.

This has to be my favorite post to write. I actually went through each post. It’s so nice to look back on everything we did this past year. The first year of Life Food and Beer had a lot of major milestones. I can’t wait to see what the next year has in store!

I will see you guys when we get back from our Honeymoon 🙂
