So now what?

I was inspired by Becky Higgin's to start a project that chronicles a year in my life through pictures and a little journaling. You can find out more information through her blog or here.
Hope you will check in often to see how my life may be similar/different than yours.
I'll post from the last few weeks tomorrow....
