2014- Pics are proof!

The real story from 2014

And I learned stuff.  Like, if you set out to love Arizona, don't start in August. The second floor is not good for burpees.  Don't store candles outdoors.
Do swim, appreciate the sunsets, make friends, go hiking, see family, and try new things.

I'm talking about my obnoxious car here, people.  Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a comfy 2014 Prius with tinted windows.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was big this year.  Ice is hard to come by in August in Arizona, but I still think we nailed it.

Stuffing the raffle box in the apartments' charity fundraiser totally paid off, because I won this!

I am definitely headed out for more adventures in 2015.
