Yes, my blog has been kept on the back burner in 2015. Thank you to those who have subscribed to my blog! I promise you will have much to read on here in 2016! This year I have been blessed with so many incredible moments that I will forever cherish. My niece had her first birthday (I can’t believe she’s a month away from 2 now!), so it was a great time getting away to be with family to celebrate, as well as a fun week-long vacation to Virginia and North Carolina for me and my love Patrick. I finally got to learn how to do glass-blowing (check out Season 2, Episode 1 of Listen Up Cleveland!, which I brought back this year: https://youtu.be/nZGcWLNxkk4 ), did two more 5k’s (suck it asthma!), the Cleveland Adult Big Wheels Race for the 2nd year in a row (we almost won the costume contest…you’ll see in the video below), fantastic concerts: Fleetwood Mac, Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood, J. Geils and Ian Hunter, Whitesnake, Van Halen, The Rock Hall Inductions Ceremony…met and interviewed so many wonderful people (including the now late, great former Congressman Louis Stokes), threw surprise parties/dinner for my mom and my boyfriend (milestone birthday year for both!) and was promoted at work to News Director. Needless to say, its been a crazy, awesome year! (For any negative nancy’s reading this, yes there were some bad moments too. I just choose not to reflect on them. Learn, grow, move forward.)

New Years is always a time of reflection, and it’s been great looking back at all the fun that has taken place the last (almost) 365 days. Here’s a brief wrap-up in pictures of Life With Leah* in 2015:

As fabulous as this year was, I’m already anticipating the adventures ahead in 2016! I’m about to move in to a home with my love, signed up for my first Half-Marathon and will be a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding in August. Much to already look forward to!!

I’d love to hear what your goals & resolutions are for the New Year, or what you may already be excited for. Please share in my comments section below! I hope you had a wonderful 2015, and wish you all the best in 2016!

xoxo, Leah*
