Best of 2013

So 2013 will go down as one of the best ever for me- new house, roommate and tenants, new friends, social media galore, tons of fun experiences, 2 challenging open water swims,  and a job change. Add a boyfriend on there and you’d about be perfect!

But let me fill you in on some other ‘best of’ from 2013

Best Movie- Gravity.  Still say its a masterpiece.  One of the best movies I have ever seen period.

Best Music- Michael Buble- To Be Loved album

Best Song- Sara Barellis- Brave

Best New TV Show- The Goldbergs (trust me on this one.  It is much funnier than it looks)

Also Super Fun Night

Best Reality Show- Survivor: Blood vs Water.  I had my doubts but the new twist of family on family really created fireworks.

Biggest TV Letdown- Downton Abby continued the drab season 3 with a drab season 4 (sorry US viewers but it’s a doozie).

Best Book I Read- Nothing new really caught my fancy. Book Thief, Gift from the Sea and North and South were welcome rereads

Best Theater- I think In the Heights at Hale Theater Orem caught me off guard.  A welcome surprise.
