The Best of 2015

The Best of 2015

2015 was such a busy, busy year - my TENTH in Nashville! - I think there were milestones in every month, and that's following on the heels of changing jobs at the end of 2014. In some ways, January 2015 seems like it was ages ago. Mostly, though, I can't believe that it's already January again and I'm sure 2016 will breeze by!
