It's Better in Wyoming.

Here are some things that happened this year: 1. Maggie and I got engaged!  Here we are before heading into Little Wild Horse Canyon, an amazing Utah slot canyon, where I proposed: 2. Maggie and I went to Iceland!  In January!  It was about the same temp there as it was in Laramie while we were gone.  But, Iceland also has volcanoes, and glaciers, and hot springs, and tectonic plates, and more! 3. I went to Baltimore and Tampa! For work travel this year, I presented at ACRL in Baltimore (spring) and LRA in Tampa (fall).  Both of these trips were first-time-visits for me, and I liked both places.  I was surprised by how much I liked downtown Tampa--I'd definitely go back! 4. We got to see Cirque d' Soleil!  No pics of this trip, but for Dad's 70th birthday we all (Sarah and Joel and the kids, Dad and Susie, and me and Maggie) went to Denver to see Cirque d' Soleil's Mexico-inspired "Luzia" performance.  It was all so amazing! 5.
