I was cooking and using power tools at the same time today...multi-tasking! (I got a knife magnet for Christmas and I was hanging it up in the kitchen today).

ONE MORE DAY!!! I can't believe I've been doing this for a year now. I am a little bummed that I messed up my numbering somewhere along the way...I should have 366 photos since this year was a leap year, but I messed up somewhere because I'm only at 365 (once I include tomorrow's photo). I haven't decided if I'm doing this again next year or not...we'll see.

With moving in the last couple of weeks, I've been slacking on updating this. I'm still taking pictures though! I'm too close to finishing the year to give up now.
