I'm going to Jackson

If you happen to stop beside me at a red light you might just get lucky to catch a free show. I sing along in the car.  In the shower. In class. Elevators. And occasionally even in the store when they are playing a good song. Sometimes I even dance. This is the part where I should tell you that I do NONE of these things well. I sing off key.

A place where they shared the highs, but didn't ignore the lows. It would be way more honest and a whole lot more entertaining. Most people don't write Christmas letters any more, and the Christmas cards themselves have even started to dwindle. These days we do not save our perfect lives for yearly updates. We post them in our Facebook status and on Instagram 365 days a year. I am just as guilty. I post pics of all the fun places I go and eat, not all the nights I am in pjs before the evening news. So now every year I try to rewind, reflect and share the highs and a few honest moments as well.  So. Here it is. The year in revie
