Happy New Year! Can you believe 2016 is here already? How did you bid farewell to 2015 this past New Year’s Eve? Were you turned up at the club or hanging out with friends and family? Even though I had some traveling to do, I was sure to find time to spend with family and friends. It was low-key, but cherished nonetheless.
