When we look back on 2023 it will be the year where everything changed. It was a beautiful year, filled with memories I could have never dreamed of, adventures that would fill our hearts, and the start of something truly miraculous. 

The year started with a sprint. I ended 2022 quite sick (COVID take two or three?), which led us to cancel our holiday plans in California and coming home for Christmas to Frasier in New York. Since I was unable to see Dad for Christmas, he decided to visit me in mid-January, which was such a wonderful time for us to connect, have good eats, walk along the park with Frasier, and enjoy being in NYC as father and daughter.

It’s no surprise that one of my “favorite” posts to do every year is this one. I look back on these as often as my year-in-review because of how well this captures some of the beautiful moments throughout the year. 2023 was no different with incredible TV, movies, live performances, and memories that will last a lifetime.

As we’ve done in previous years we’re embarking on the challenge to rank all of the TV shows we watched in the previous year. This year we watched a few more shows and a lot of them were the first seasons which means we have a fresh list to rank. This also might be the list where Jenn and I have the greatest disparity between where we rank shows. It’s going to be a fun list!

2022 was a year of incredible moments, hard work, and a life that continued to flourish. We began the year in new jobs that started only weeks before the calendar turned to 2022. We were both working from home at the start of the year, the pandemic making an ugly return. Unlike in the previous two years nothing shut down, and outside of increased mask mandates, life went on like normal.

Each year Jenn and I sit at our respective laptops and spend an agonizing amount of time wrestling with what our favorite things are from the past year. 2022 was no different and we’re back with our list of favorite things from the year, and what a year it was!
