Your will to speak clearly exposed too much

2013 was a pretty great year overall.  There were some trying moments but damn, I will remember 2013 fondly.  Here's a laundry list of all the great stuff that happened this year.  I am doing this for me so I don't care if you think it's boring.  Sorry about that.  But here it is so you can share my joys from this year.


  • Had another wonderful year with my kids (who are too smart for their own good) and with my most excellent husband.  I plan to continue being excellent to each other for years to come. 
  • I got promoted
  • I got my water III license
  • I received a Distinguished Service Award from a professional water organization
  • I planned and assisted with hosting a district conference for the AWWA and then was nominated to be the 2nd vice chair for the district. 
  • Was nominated and became Chairwoman of the Upper Cuyahoga River Scenic River Advisory Committee
  • Went on an awesome mommy escape trip to Portland with my bestie Ann.
  • Started running
  • Ran three 5 ks
  • Went to the Columbus Zoo with the kids
  • Won the annual Euchre tournament at work
  • Got a grant award at work for watershed improvements
  • lost some weight and got in the best shape I've ever been in pretty much ever
  • found lots of good music
  • ate lots of good food 

There are lots of other awesome things I'm sure that happened this year but I can't remember now.  Please don't be offended if you are part of them and I forgot.  Just post them in the comments!  

Here's looking to a great 2014.
