Looking Back at 2013...

I'll have to be honest -- 2013 was a good year to me. I started dating my best friend. I travelled. I was happy. More than I can say for 2012. 

And yes, 2013 had some really shitty parts too. Losing Simba, losing family members, still squatting on my mom's couch, money problems. But, what kind of year would it be if it was just all good? 

JANUARY:

- I reunited with my friends.

- Watched Space Jam.

- I made this awesome post about my ridiculous Google searches. 

FEBRUARY:

- My brother and I went to a Suns game. 

MARCH:

- It was Mike's birthday and we had an 80's themed party. 

- I saw Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson.

- We went to the Beer and BBQ festival -- my favorite springtime event.

JULY:

2013 was good to me and I'm looking forward to what 2014 has in store.
