favorite moments from 2013!

i started the year off by completing my second half marathon! my first one was in high school, which seems like a worlds away, so this one really did kind of feel like a first. it was definitely a huge accomplishment, and i hope to do a third in 2014!

i graduated from clemson university!

we went to the bahamas on a mission trip with our church.

we celebrated our 1 year anniversary and took a trip to litchfield beach.

scofield got a new job and we moved into a new home in greenville. we've had so much fun exploring our new town....

...like visiting the farmer's market and the neue southern food truck.

we spent summer days at the lake with friends and family.

i got to accompany my husband to camp (as the proud wife, i am) and watch him speak for the weekend. it was kind of like a mini vacation.

we celebrated scofield's birthday with a surprise party. i can hardly ever surprise him [he's too smart..or maybe i'm not sneaky enough?] so it was a big deal for me.

...and i made this blackberry and beet chocolate cake for him.

we took a couple of trips to the mountains over the year...one for a wedding near montreat and another to camp buc in sapphire, nc for a vacation with the family.

i made this pumpkin pizza [my favorite savory recipe from the year.]

and these s'more cookies...my favorite dessert recipe from the year.

we went apple picking and ate these amazing donuts.

i got to take some fun pictures with my sweet friend jessi for her photography portfolio. 

we drove on the blue ridge parkway for my birthday.

and for my absolutely favorite moment..i got to visit best friend in new york during christmas time! 

here's to 2013! i can't wait to see what 2014 has in store!
