2013: Eat Your Heart Out!



Can you believe that tomorrow is 01.01.14?? I can't!  It has been a whirlwind of a year for me.  I don't usually go into a new year feeling good about the past year, but this year has been a great one for me!

I started off the New Year with an idea that I would start a blog.  I cannot believe that it has been an entire year since I started "And So She Would Dance...".  This process has been so fun and I have loved every minute of it!  I always wanted to keep a journal, but was never disciplined enough to do so.  I haven't been the most disciplined with this, but I am planning on making a more concerted effort to post at least once a week!  I have also reached over 5,000 views!!  Such an exciting year for this little blog :)

I went to a total of 5 weddings this year!  Seeing 5 of my favorite people get married was amazing!  Because of these weddings I was able to go to three different states and hang out with the most amazing friends and family!!

2013 also brought two of the sweetest little people into my world!  For 24+ years Amy and Nick have been two of my closest friends.  This year they each brought a special little one into this world.  Little Olivia and Jase may be the cutest things I have ever seen!! Three years ago I stood with Amy while she married her best friend, Jason.  And, in 11 days, I get to see Nick marry Ali in Key West :)


It was a big year for my career too!  I was nominated for an award by my peers and superiors!  I had such an amazing time at the BMA's this year!  Cannot wait until next year!  This year also marked a huge anniversary for Bozzuto-- 25 years!! Congratulations!  I was also promoted in October of this year!  Being an Assistant Property Manager has been a challenge, but I have loved every minute of it!  I am so happy with what I am doing and the company that I work for!

2013 brought me to another challenge of running the Color Run.  I did it!  I wasn't nearly as prepared as I should have been, but I made it and didn't kill Brittany lol... I am ready to do it again in 2014!  The race is happening at the National Harbour again in May, 2014, and I am gathering people for my team this time around!  Who's with me!?

I have met some amazing new friends, seen a lot of cool places and done a lot of fun shit!  I wouldn't have been able to do any of it without you guys!  Thanks for an amazing year!

I have big plans for 2014!!  I am ready to start my new year traveling to Key West to see Nick and Ali get married!  I am excited to travel this year!  I am planning on hitting up a few states to see my best friends from ECU as well as traveling to Europe to see my Aunt Suzi and Craig!  Katie and I have been talking about August, 2014 for the big trip!  We want to hit up London for a few days and then go off to Italy!  I am super excited and cannot wait to see what happens!  

I plan on being WAY more prepared for my 5k in May! This will be a great one because I already have some great people that will be running with me.  I am also super pumped around running another in the fall to honor my Uncle Nut-- Who is ready for the Haslup Hustle?!

Overall, I have loved the ride of 2013.  I cannot wait to see what 2014 brings and am excited to bring you along for my journey!!  

Cheers to 2014!
