As we wrap up 2016, all we can say is “Wow, what a ride.” We wanted to end our blog year on a positive note and asked the Imagine team to submit their favorite thing from 2016. The answers range from personal to professional. We invite you join in our joy and add your favorite moment from 2016 in the comments below.
My favorite thing from 2016 is Saylor Grace Frazier, my first (and only) blood niece born to my sister on Oct. 6. – Donna
My favorite thing from 2016 would probably be getting hired on part time at Imagine. This entire experience, being able to work here as an intern or otherwise, has been so amazing, and I have gained so much experience in my field. – Meagan (aka MJ)
It was a difficult year for my family, but if I were to pick a moment that I’m thankful for, it would be the effort some of my oldest friends and I made to reunite and spend a weekend together. We plan on doing this yearly. It was great to reengage with one another and watch our kids play together. – Alex
Signed a publishing deal with Huntington Press for my new Vegas ghost story, “The House Always Wins.” – Brian
This year I really got into night photography. The finished product is cool — although I still have a lot to learn — but there is something about sitting out under the stars once everyone has gone to bed and taking my time with a long exposure. – Tiffannie
Sheri joining the Imagine team. – Megan
My fourth grandchild and first grandson — Abraham Manuel — was born on Feb. 11. – Gail
My favorite thing from 2016 has been reaching the third trimester of my pregnancy. I feel the best I’ve felt in months, I’m thankful to have made it this far, and I’m excited to get ever closer to meeting the little one. – Melissa
