While most people would agree that 2016 was filled with disappointments; for me it was a year of accomplishments, fulfilled dreams, and personal growth. I finally visited the Pacific Northwest for the first time ever in January and it was everything I expected it to be and more. I got out of my stressful dead-end job in a city that I hated and moved across the country to a place we only dreamed about living and what once seemed so out of reach was now just part of our daily lives. I made some pretty tasty recipes along the way, and then had the crazy idea to totally overhaul a blog I had been working on for over four years with a new name and a new website. I am beyond grateful for all of the memories I made, the people I've met, little pieces of this world that I have been lucky enough to see, and I believe now more than ever that all of the experiences I've had (the good and the bad) have all happened for a reason and I am, for perhaps the very first time, exactly where I am supposed to be.
I sincerely hope that all of you had a great year, and if it wasn't so great, I hope you find the courage to better your situation, chase a dream, or discover your purpose in the year to come!
