I published my first “Turning the Page…” blog post on January 1st, 2018. I was less than one year into blogging, rediscovering my love for reading, and totally winging it when it came to life itself. It is crazy just how much has changed in these few years. Here we are, ringing in 2023! 2022 was a year to remember in so many ways. We traveled with friends and family – to Colorado, Utah, the Bahamas, Florida, Nashville, and countless other weekend trips. We watched movies and ate good food and spent nights at home with our puppies. I made new friends and loved old ones, tried new things, and found new hobbies. And of course, read 98 books! I love using this yearly post to document the year, and I’m so looking forward to what 2023 has in store! Happy New Year!
