What 2012 lacked in wilderness miles, it more than made up
for in self-reflection and challenges faced. New places explored. New trail
friends. Fifteen years with my best friend and soulmate. Longest solo trip. 80+ miles on a bike (ouch). Completion of my BSN
and passing my boards. No wonder I've been MIA.
Some pictures from 2012. And cheers to new adventures in 2013.
