In 2013, I ...

... survived a 2,122 mile road trip with my mom.
... survived another 926 mile road trip by myself. 
... flew 55,032 miles.
... conducted some pretty exciting research and created life-long mentors.
... presented said research at 3 different conferences.
... had frivolous fun during the research year. 
... read A LOT of books (thanks to checking out kindle books from the public library).
... completed a whole bunch of knitting projects!
... watched my classmates match into residency and graduate medical school.
... had my heart broken into splinters.
... finally, after over 6 months, am beginning to feel my heart mend.
... celebrated with multiple friends as they [finally] gave birth to very much desired babies.
... grew comfortable riding a bike and then completed a 70 mile bike ride.
... moved back to the South, and found it better than I remembered. 
... reconnected with old friends and made many new ones.
... embraced the last full year of my 20s. 
... stepped out of myself and took chances  - with mixed outcomes.
... began to internalize and eagerly anticipate the excitement that 2014 promises!

Happy New Year ya'll!  May 2014 be full of blessings and dreams come true!
