Grateful for 2012 and Excited for 2013

It was a great year for my family and I, and we're anticipating another great year in 2013.

2012 was really a good year for me.  I opened a 150K square foot retail building in Lakeville that brought over 200 new jobs to the community, I joined a dynamic young church in Northfield that my whole family loves, I deepened relationships and made some new ones, and I took steps forward that I believe will shape the trajectory of my life for the next few years to come.

Alongside a few vacations and day trips, we made memories and participated in many of the wonderful things Northfield offers during the course of the year.  This includes...

I'm so glad the Mayan predictions didn't turn out, and I am excited for what 2013 will bring!

I'm curious, what did you enjoy in 2012 and what are you looking forward to in 2013?
