We’re down to the final hours of 2018. I’m sitting in the back of my parents’ car, parked outside my brothers house, wedged between my sleeping kids. Rain is sprinkling, and the oversized moonroof reveals big juicy droplets resting on the roof. 8 hours to go in 2018 and I’m down with that. We’re ready for some fresh pages and a clean start.

Earlier this year I attempted a few monthly recaps and promptly gave up because…2018 was rough. But, in the spirit of ending on a positive, here are my favorite reads of 2018:

  1. Becoming (Michelle Obama)
  2. On Writing (Stephen King)
  3. Freedom Found: My Life Story (Warren Miller0
  4. The Hate You Give (Angie Thomas)
  5. The Fifth Risk (Michael Lewis)

And my 5 favorite moments of 2018 (unordered):

  • Strolling through my dad’s hometown with my parents and kids
  • Running the 5th Ave Mile in NYC with brother1
  • An impromptu surprise visit to Colorado from brother2
  • Finding ourselves in the tiny village of Monstein, Switzerland in April
  • Camping in New Mexico

Here’s to more adventures with family and friends in 2019!
