On New Year’s Day, 2013, Reilly is on the floor grading papers and lesson planning. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade plays in the background. It’s one of those cold yet sunny days. I’ve decided to sort through this year’s photos and see which ones I like the most, strike the fondest memories, make me smile a lot. These are in no particular order and only represent a tiny fraction of the photos we have.

When the light is right and when the walls aren’t purple, I still like admiring the engagement/wedding ring.

Really, one of the funnest days I’ve had.

—

Along with this.

—

And this.

—

I love weddings. I always cry. If not for the actual photographer’s flash in my way, this would be one of my all-time favorites. What a jerk. Still a super cute picture though.

—

I never listened to a lot of Iron Maiden, but this concert was a lot of fun.

—

I came out of this concert walking on air.

—

Free Frontrunner day with one of my favorite families.

—

The Alpine Loop in the fall is always pretty. Reilly is always pretty.

—

At Rockefeller Center in August. We got some sun, and my hair isn’t horrible here.

—

The past, present, and future all here.

—

He wears these all the time now.

—

The picture’s blurry, but this hike was amazing.

—

Labor Day weekend in Moab. Saw good friends for the first time in around five years.

—

Simple. I really like it.

—

Something magical about the hint of mountains here.

Reilly’s done grading and planning now. So we’re watching Last Crusade with more attention. It’s at the part with the dirigible.

Here’s to another year, more pictures, more memories, ever more happiness.
