Here's to Another Good Year

Here's to another year in this wonderful world! 

2012 was a year of immense learning and growing as a women and as a leader. It was also one of great heartache and great joy.  This is definitely not a year I am going to forget anytime soon and I look forward to what the next year will bring.

This is 2012 for Grace in pictures.

The year of 2012 was a great year but I believe 2013 will be even greater!

Check another off

Over the summer, one of the most influential female leaders in my life encouraged me to run a 5k with her.  Since this was on my bucket list, I signed right up and got to training.

We decided to take on the Glow Run Kansas City and it was an absolute blast!

We even received glow in the dark medals!

There is nothing better than running with a sister beside you.

I am grateful for Miss Robin and I look forward to a lifelong friendship with her because it's not for four years, it's for life.
