It’s been quite a year! In many ways, full of good things. In many ways, just straight-up exhausting. I am grateful. I look back on this year and I see so much that was good and exciting and fun.
It’s been a couple of months since I did an Adventures and Episodes / -ishness style post, so let’s dive in, shall we?
