I'll keep you.

2014 was by no means perfect. But like they say, life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful. 

And this year was pretty freaking wonderful. 

[here's the highlights]

I learned about a whole new kind of love from 45 boys--one that is equal parts overwhelming, stressful, and incredible.

I learned about what the word "unconditional" means when friendships don't change despite life pulling you in a thousand new directions. 

I fell even more in love with Logan [if that was even possible], and it's breaking my heart a little bit to think that I'm almost done here. 

We gained an aunt and the perfect addition to our family when Andy and Des got married in May. 

I found a new appreciation for bikers when we trailed them for 525 miles through some of the most beautiful places in Utah...on limited sleep, with an unlimited supply of Swedish Fish. 

I learned just how insane we really are when I crossed the finish line for Ragnar number five. 

I reached a whole new level of fangirl while my best friend and I sang along with every single word at the Katy Perry concert and my dream of seeing KP live came true. 

I learned the basics of remodeling a house, painted more wood paneling than I ever want to see again in my entire life, and sent one of my best friends off to the real world, which taught me to dance to Beyonce by myself and really appreciate phone calls on the way home from work. 

 I found a new mini-me and learned what it feels like to have part of your heart living outside of you. 

 I spent an absurd amount of time with the #dreamteam and learned over and over again how lucky I am to have the friends that I do. 

I attempted to drive this one crazy with a thousand pointless stories, middle of the night talks, and a seemingly endless supply of arguments as to why he should stay in Logan, come to Logan, or not leave Logan [and more pictures than I'm sure he ever wanted to take. Whoops].

I experienced a little bit of heaven as we said goodbye to Uncle Bret and learned that my heart really can be sore. 

It's been quite the year, and if history is any indication, I'm sure 2015 is going to be even more exciting. 

So here's to a year of more learning, more friends, more challenges, and even more love. 

2015, if you're anywhere near as fun as 2014...I guess I'll keep you around. 

"And we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been."
