This past year has been really, really hard. Life has thrown many challenges my way, and I didn't always feel up to conquering them. I'm still battling some of the trials that manifested themselves in 2014, but all in all, I'd say it was a great year. It was hard, yes, but I learned and grew a lot. And I sit here on January 1, 2015, ready to grow even more. This year is going to bring about a lot of change in my life, but I'm excited to tackle new opportunities, make new memories, and learn new things.
So without further ado, here are a few snippets from 2014 in my shoes.
January: The month in which very little happened
