I cannot believe it's already 2013!! 2012 passed in a flash...AND, I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I am going to have a certified teenager this year! AAAGGHH!!
I had an amazing year serving as the first-ever
runDisney mom on the
Disney Moms Panel. There was so much fun and excitement, that I don't even know where to start!
RunDisney Family
One thing that I do know, is that my favorite part of being on the panel is all of the wonderful new friends I have made. From my new Moms Panel family, to all of the runDisney fans, I feel very blessed to be a part of this organization. It's been really cool to meet so many runDisney lovers at races, social media meet-ups, Twitter (which I finally figured out how to use), and all of the awesome groups on Facebook. There is a true feeling of "family" with runDisney, and I am thrilled to be a part of it.
