I am trying to do one thing at a time, working on a quote on an insurance companies website and it's taking literally 3 minutes for the next page to load. I can't just sit there and stare at the rotating hour glass, so I start reloading the page OR doing something else. Ugghhh. Trying to be patient. I just have such a hard time doing nothing.

Well, 2016 is officially over. Overall I would say it was a fantastic year! There are things I would change, but for the most part it was wonderful. Looking back through my blog, my twitter account and my Instagram I was reminded of so many great memories from the year. Here's my list of top moments (both good and bad) 1.  Going to Paris with my daughter (and son for part of it). <3 2.  Going to the Bahama's with my husband for our 7th anniversary. <3 3.  Getting my teeth fixed. 4.  My cousin passing away at 43. 5.  Being a member of Leadership Prince William Class of 2016! 6.  So many fun bunco nights with girlfriends. 7.  Spring Vision Retreat with Andria Corso! 8.  Quality time with family. 9.  Fantastic networking events where I made new friends and strengthened my existing relationships. 10. A whole year of LOVING my job. The people I work with, the job I do, just everything about it! 11. Another successful trip to White Lake, NC with the whole family!
