I hope you all had a wonderful holiday- I know I did! Lots of time with family, lots of food, and lots of fun. However, I'll be happy to get back on my regular CF schedule after the new year! It's hard to believe in a couple of days we will be welcoming 2015. This year just flew by. It's hard for me to let go of this year- so many amazingly good things happened- but I know 2015 will be just as good, if not better! I thought I would use this post to try and sort out all the cool stuff that happened this past year- hopefully I don't get too emotional!!!
*Celebrated my 1 year anniversary at RCFBC. I couldn't imagine working out at a different place. These people have become some of my best friends, and I'm incredibly grateful for the coaches & owners for making a difference everyday.
*I stepped on a box for the first time since I broke my wrist. With the help of Mike, Elena, Olivia, & CiCi. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. <3
*Also- MET RICH FRONING!!!! How could I forget! I was fortunate to attend the KCECC and see some amazing athletes compete, and meet the love of my life, Rich!

Wow. Seeing this all typed out is amazing. I'm crying- just in case you were wondering...haha. Seeing all of these accomplishments just makes me feel so happy. The next time I think I can't do something, I will look at this and prove myself wrong.
This year has been nothing short of incredible. I've been through a lot- lost some old friends; made a lot of new friends, but never forgot where I started. I've cried, but laughed more; grew but stayed the same. I've stepped out my comfort zone more than once, and I'm happy I did. I am looking forward to the challenges that 2015 holds. One thing is certain, I will never stop making myself better & I will become the best version of myself.
Thank you all for your continuous support & well wishes. It's one of the main things that keeps me going. You are only as strong as the people surrounding you. <3
Mike, Sharon, Chris, Kaylee, Lauren, JD, Eats, Ali, Sarah, Harrison & all the members at Reebok CrossFit Bare Cove- You are the most amazing group of people a girl could ask for. My life has changed because of you all. Thanks for always cheering me on when I'm on those last few reps, giving me a shoulder to cry on when I'm having a bad day, or laughing with me when I can't stop. I'm looking forward to the next year (s) with you guys!
