HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Can you believe it's almost 2014 already?! I certainly can't. This has been one CRAZY year - I blinked, and it was over!

We will be out of the office tomorrow, January 1st, 2014, and back in to answer your tickets and love letters at 8AM on Thursday, January 2nd (of 2014, in case you missed that part!)

What was YOUR favorite part of 2013? I had a little boy - William Jeffrey Knutson - on July 4th! He was a little bug, only 3lb 15oz, but now he's almost 14lbs and healthy as a... a healthy baby boy!

Leave YOUR favorite part of 2013 in the comments below - photo a plus, if applicable - and I'll award you 214 points!

Make sure you leave your comment before 12:01AM PST on Friday for those 214 points.

Kiss 2013 goodbye,
and give a warm hello to 2014!

My favorite part of 2013 was seeing my daughter graduate from high school as one of the valedictorians in her class and heading off to Vanderbilt University.

Happy New Year Kristi..many happy memories from 2013 both personally and professionally. My most memorable professional accomplishment in 2013 was bringing my business to the next level after earning the Internet Marketing Specialist Designation. Looking forward to continued success with all that I have learned (and will continue to learn) from ActiveRain and IMSD.

I experienced heartache beyond belief as I lost my 19 yr old nephew to a motorcycle accident. He has taught me to live life to It's fullest. God doesn't promise any of us tomorrow. Cherish life and love the ones your with. ♡

My favorite part of 2013 was receiving my Certified Negotiation Expert Designation from the Real Estate Negotiation Institute. This really helped me successfully negotiate deals for my clients.

Not sure I can choose just one favorite moment in 2013 but it was certainly a year of some AR milestones -- first 500,000 points earlier in the year and a renewed commitment to blogging/commenting that should put me into the Millionaire's Club in late-2014.

I had a most enjoyable 2013. The business was successful; we had some great times with the family; our Connecticut AR family had some good Meet-ups, and I was healthy and able to enjoy some quality time with the youngest grandson, Raphael.

My favorite part of 2013 was definitely my cruise to the Cayman Islands and Cozumel back in September! So much sun, food, and relaxation! (Not to mention my "awesome tan", right Kristi? *wink wink* )

I cannot wait to see what 2014 has in store for us! :) It's going to be a GOOD year, I just know it!

Hmmm, that's a tough one! A vacation in Boothbay Harbor, Maine in June was nice. Spending time with family for Christmas was too. A change of day jobs removed some stress. Snow falling outside right now, flowers in the spring. Blogging is bringing results and 2013 was our best year ever in real estate. Life is good :) Bill

2013 was a busy year in real estate, but family vacation time was great as well. Trips to Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Barcelona and Oban in Scotland. But favorite was 10 days in St Lucia.

2013 was a good year. Business was good but the highlight was my oldest daughter's graduation from high school & acceptance into college. Here's a photo from her graduation:
