Smile #19 - Crossing 2014 Finish Line

2014 has been the year I most anticipated for and it's hard to believe it will be over so soon.
So many milestones and adventures happened in 2014.  Let's recap:

Started the year in Paris, France.
Road trip from Austria to Ireland.
Returned home from my almost nomadic life abroad.
Felt the blues from travel.
Moved in my first apartment.

Interview, interview, interview.
