#3: Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup again! We went to a (regular season) game - great time!
#4: CSA
Inspired by a food fair I attended with friends in Chicago, I joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) workshare right in my hometown! In exchange for two five-hour shifts on the farm per month, I earned a big box of fresh veggies every week. How could it get any better?
Unfortunately it resulted in a hamstring strain that haunted me throughout the summer, and I had to throw in the trowel early in the season.
#5: Team in Training
Upon deciding that in addition to the Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon this would also be the year I ran a FULL MARATHON, I joined the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training to run in memory of Mike's mom. Though terrified of the fundraising requirement, I can't imagine training any other way. It was a fantastic experience - hopefully I'll eventually post about it!
#6: Riggie
This one's a heartbreaker. Our little Riggie had a stroke during a routine vet wellness visit in July, and we lost him immediately. I still can't believe he's gone. Love you forever, little Rigatoni.
#7: Scooter & Beeker
Pippin (our older cat) doesn't do well as an only cat, but at 12 years old is too much of a curmudgeon for a kitten. So a few months later we adopted two littermates from the Humane Society. Two sisters for Pippin! (And yes, Beeker is deliberately misspelled - we realized all of our pets have had double letters in their names, and had to continue the pattern!)
#8: McNugget
A new nephew is on the way! McNugget is his placeholder name; hopefully they'll come up with another one by April!
#9: The Chicago Marathon!
Two huge accomplishments here: I finished the Chicago Marathon, and raised $3900 for blood cancer research!
#10: Fifth Anniversary
On December 18th we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. Where did the time go??
And there's my 2015 wrap-up, ten major highlights/events in roughly chronological order. Now on to 2016!
