Today’s the first day of 2015 and also my birthday, so double the reason for me to reflect on the year that’s been and look ahead.

I feel lucky to have had such a wonderful year: In 2014, I started working at Automattic, explored 11 countries across 4 continents, and did things I never thought I’d get the chance to do. Skydiving in Utah, horseback riding in Hawaii, and hobbit spotting in New Zealand are just a few of the memories that stand out. Luckiest of all, my family have had a happy and healthy year too, with only a few bumps along the way.

As we go into 2015, I’m more than excited about the next set of adventures and one of my many resolutions is to be better at documenting them. I’m generally terrible at remembering to take photos and, despite working for the company behind WordPress.com, don’t actually keep a blog. So, here’s my attempt to put that right. 🙂

Happy New Year, all!
