2014 Year in Review: April-June #2014RE

This post may include affiliate links and I may earn commission if you make a purchase through these links.

I really love these posts. They force me to look back on months from the current year and I remember SO MANY good things! Like my boy was still a baby. Or at least more toddler-like. And that I ran several races during the spring (as opposed to this fall when I didn’t run one I had signed up for. A major one.) It’s been a good year.

(Also, I’m linking up with the Review Extravaganza. Good stuff, blog friends!)


April

I posted my son’s 31 month post. He has grown so much this year! (Also, I need to bring those posts back – mostly for myself.)

Bari and her family visited! Bari and I ran the Greenway Challenge 10k. They only misdirected us a little.

In April, I visited Indianapolis for a work conference. It was my first visit to this city and I had a blast the first afternoon getting to know downtown Indy via running.

I also ran the Fiddlin’ 5k – a race that starts and ends on the campus I work.

May

May brought along my first graduation as alumni director. It was stressful, fun, exciting, exhausting….and everything I thought it would be. Also, I had a rain plan (thankfully.) I’ve learned this year I always have to have a decent rain plan, because I’m probably going to use it.

I posted a rare 4-generation photo of my grandma, mom, myself and son in honor of Mother’s Day.

Carol and I ran the Biltmore 15k.

I took the boy to Biltmore for part of a day. Good times were had by all.

And my 10 Things to Smile About post. I had some good ones in May.

Oh, this posted in June, but I attended Blogging Concentrated. I’m still implementing things I learned that day!

June

I ran my only half marathon of the year. Downhill at Dawn. I loved it so much.

We took our first camping trip! It was an overnight trip not far from Asheville, for Father’s Day weekend.

We also visited the NC Zoo!

I also completed one of my projects of the year – a patriotic wreath!

One of my first VoxBoxes arrived. I love these boxes.

At one point, my husband and I were both in Atlanta for work trips. We met up Friday night for a date night.

This gives me so much excitement about 2015. And I’m only halfway through reviewing 2014! Also, I remembered I did a bucket list for the summer, but I didn’t do one for the winter….I’m wondering if I should (and just don’t make it holiday-centric.)

Do you create goals/bucket lists for your years?

    It’s so amazing to be able to look back and see where we have been and what we have done over the last year. These pics are amazing and I love the 4 generation one because it is something that I want to do as soon as the twins come home.

    A bucket list for winter would be very interesting, especially if you live in a cold weather state. You might have to get very creative on things you want to do.

    This is a great idea to get yearly goals for yourself. I will have to think about doing this for 2015.

    You ran so many races these months! I remember the camping trip, so fun. How awesome to have a four generation picture! Lucas is my only child who ever got to meet one of his great grandparents, she passed away when he was about 7 months old and was the last of the great grandparents.
