2015 in review

happy 2016! we are getting busy back into work over the past two weeks after a long holiday. 2015 was, in a word, transformative. 2014 was a tough personal year for me, so 2015 came as a surprise. i am two weeks late to the '2015 best nine' game, but i thought i would share my highlights. sometimes it's hard for me to absorb all that has happened, but i am so very thankful for everything. mjinteriordesigncollage
