Goodbye 2014

Where did 2014 go? It seems like just a couple days ago we were celebrating my birthday. A few days before that, I was in Georgia with my family. Now, it’s almost 2015? Time really does fly the older you get.

To end 2014, I wanted to do a little recap of some of my favor eats, drinks, and adventures from the year. Life and Beer dominated the blog this year. I feel like most of 2014 was spent traveling. I’m not complaining though.

I didn’t share that many recipes this year. Not like in years past, but as I was writing this post, I noticed how much better my pictures are getting. I hope 2015 with include more recipes {but I’m not making any promises!}, and hopefully a lot more travel.

May was the month of visitors and travel. From our friends in MN to Huck’s sister and her family, our house seemed to always be full. And when it wasn’t full, we were on the road.

And that was our year! I really enjoyed reliving it. That’s one thing I really enjoy about my blog. I know I missed so many things. I didn’t blog as much this year, but hopefully that will change… Hopefully!

I hope everyone has a great 2015. Thank you to everyone that reads my blog. It truly means a lot to know people actually enjoy it.
