My Accomplishments (52 Lists)

This year is just about over and I'm sure many of us are ready to see it in the rear view mirror and steam ahead into 2017.   For me, the year actually went buy pretty dang fast.  It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating New Years and we blinked and Christmas is only days away.

For this week's 52 Lists, we were asked to make a list of our accomplishments we achieved through the course of 2016.  Don't forget, if you want to make your own list, just link up over at Beauty full Slow and join in the fun :)

I wish I could say I had so many of them, but honestly, I can't say that I did anything spectacular over the course of the 366 days (it was a leap year after all)..  But hey, I'll list what I did accomplish ;)

• I haven't murdered anyone in my family yet!! ;)
