Here’s to you and here’s to me

2015 was a bang up year. It had it’s fill of tears, but with it came triumphs. I learned a lot about myself–even if it meant just figuring out what I didn’t want I feel like I’m finally on the right path to finding the boat I was meant to sail, and the life I was meant to lead. In between there’s been bikes, beer, and even babies! Join me in this walk down memory lane, and cheers to a happy, healthy new year!

May all of our dreams come true.

This year I… lived aboard one of the most finely built  and well designed sail boats in the world. dsc_8647Finally learned how to row, properly. IMG_1113Was the captain of a vessel (albeit small) for the first time.dsc_9476I learned how to navigate (kind of).
