2014

A year later and I'm right back where I started. 2014 began by spending a month at the Oregon coast, which was definitely a highlight of the year. So much so, that a year later we're back. After some serious holiday party time it's been really nice to just be in the peace and quiet of the coast. One of my hopes this month is to spend some time putting 2014 to rest and getting ready for 2015. To do that, I first need to remember what even happened in 2014...

This is a double favorite things post, because not only am I going to share my favorite photos from Instagram this year, I also want to take a minute to tell you why Instagram itself is also one of my favorite things.

Do you love lists? I love lists. Please share your 2014 lists below in the comments. Also, disclaimer, just because I put some of these things next to each other does not mean I think they're equally good. The only criteria is that they are a favorite (for some reason) from this year.

Books

Whew! It's a new year and I hardly know what to do! It's been a busy season for us, starting with Thanksgiving in Memphis and then Christmas at the coast. We've been enjoying lots of family time, but the sustained lack of a regular schedule has left me in a bit of a confusion. Over the next week I hope to catch up on things and remember what exactly is going on. To help me find the thread, I'm hoping to have a bit of time to look back over 2014, as well as make some plans for 2015.

To get started here are some of my favorite photos from 2014:
