A look back at 2018

Personal:

I hiked in Bryce National Park and Zion Park where I completed the Observation Point trail

I kayaked to Glen Canyon

I saw Horseshoe Bend 

We celebrated 15 years of marriages

Saw lots of great movies in the theater - including Black Panther, Avengers, Love Simon, Mary Poppins Returns, Tomb Raider, and MI6

Started having monthly get together with good friends

I submitted a manuscript to Swoon Reads

I served on my local RWA board

I submitted a program proposal to RWA National for next year's conference 

I started talking about politics - on the blog, calling my state reps, and sending out emails.

Professional:

I'm the co-chair of our state's librarian annual conference committee 

I spoke on New Adult Books on a panel at our CLA Librarian Conference

I put together lots of great programs for the library

I helped beef up our social media accounts 

Blogging:

The Blog turned 10!

Chatted with lots of great authors - either online or at author events

Lots of great ARCs in the mail to read

All in all, despite the political nightmare, it's been a decent year. 

Here's hoping 2019 is a better year for all!
