Where Did 2014 Go?

I am totally stealing this idea from Biana, but when I saw it on her blog yesterday, I knew that I wanted to do the exact same thing for my last blog post of 2014.

2014 has been pretty great and the wonderful thing about blogging is that I can look back on the year and know what I did and relive it all over again. So let's relive it! ... well, at least the Top 14 Moments:

Drinking wine to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Wine, a bunch of friends, and a great cause? Yes, please.

{thirteen}

I was able to see two of my very good friends a lot more this year than the last couple of year's. There was a color run, a beach trip, a few Clemson tailgates, a tour of downtown North Augusta, and a lake weekend... and hopefully it continues in 2015!

{twelve}

Running in the Governor's Cup 8K. Not only was it my first 8K, but it was {briefly} my favorite race ever. It's still my favorite 8K ever if that counts for anything.

{eleven}

I had one of those moments this summer where everything was great and perfect and couldn't possibly get any better {unless, of course, I was able to see a sea turtle come up out of the ocean to lay her eggs while we were all sitting up on the boardwalk checking out the Super Moon}.

And then a sea turtle came up out of the ocean to lay her eggs.

Our two person, 1 brewery bar crawl this summer for my birthday.

I knocked three cities off of my list of places that I've always wanted to go. Savannah, Nashville, and Asheville. The only problem now is that I want to go back to all three cities but I still have so many more that I need to make it to a first time. Up next for 2015? Cities like Louisville, KY and Columbia, MO.

I built a table. Well, Patrick helped {a lot} but I did quite a bit of work too!

{seven}

I finally moved out of my old apartment into a brand new apartment that I absolutely adore.

It isn't even fair to compare them side by side.

We had an epic wedding weekend at Kiawah when a family friend's son got married there back in May. There was a lot of beach time, quite a few alligators, and some {not so fantastic} dancing.

{five}

A weekend in Charleston to celebrate my two friends, Laurel & Steven, finally tying the knot.

{four}

Patrick took me to Asheville to see The Biltmore at Christmas! We also checked out the Grove Park Inn and a couple of breweries. It was a perfect weekend-long date.

{three}

Eleven days in Kiawah. My vacation this year worked out wonderfully and I was able to spend the 4th of July + the entire week after + one extra day in Kiawah this summer. Do you know how hard it was to leave at the end of that? I won't be doing that again this summer though :(
