365.365 I did it!
Today is Day 365!
We were traveling today (from Alabama to Mississippi to see Jacob's grandparents) and also recovering from last night's festivities, so I was pretty anxious about having some daylight to take a picture, and also the picture itself. We decided to just head out and see if inspiration hit us on the road.
When we drove past this gravel pile, Jacob said, "You wanna run to the top of that and stand there like Rocky?" DONE. Luckily the sky looked pretty awesome so the shot turned out okay. View it large!
and thus ends my 365 journey. I'm actually sad this is over, y'all - like, so sad that I might do a second year. We'll see what happens.
I seriously had no idea that this was going to be so fun and inspiring when I started, and I also didn't think I'd make so many awesome connections and friendships. I'm so glad I did it. Thanks for all the encouragement and support and fun times along the way!
and here's a big old GO TEAM!!!! to everyone who's still going or starting up today!
