The beginning of something exciting!

January 3, 2014…it started off as a freezing cold day, and got colder as the day went on.  It had snowed overnight and my holiday break was extended for another day, providing me with a two full weeks off, just what I needed!  My best friend, Dawn, and I had been planning to meet up to kick off our weekly Friday night dinners for 2014.  It was the coldest night either of us could remember, but little did we know that tonight would be the beginning of an amazing idea!

The roads were barely plowed, but we made it out for dinner, and then grabbed a cup of coffee at Starbucks.  The two of us sat down, and then realized that the heat in the usually crowded coffee shop was not working! We decided to stay and chat (with our coats and scarves on!), and the idea of taking one photo a day for 365 days and writing about each special moment was born!  We were both thrilled and couldn’t wait to get home to write about our first pictures! 

Sometimes I find that life goes by so quickly, that I forget to stop and think about life’s simpler, wonderful moments that just pass me by. It’s easy to get caught up in working and other things, but taking the time to stop and live in a moment excites me!  I’ve gone through a lot in the past few years, from leaving a broken relationship, selling a house, and now I’ve begun a new chapter of living my life on my own for the first time ever!  I’m on the brink of turning 30, and loving life.  This blog is just another way to document a moment of my beautiful life each day, 365 days right along with my best friend!  I hope you join us on this journey!!
