Now that it is officially 2016, I figured I'd steal @dubiliciouscarolina idea and just make my own top 9 list from 2015.

1. Is obviously starting this whole journey 36 weeks ago. Never could have imagined I would be where I am now.

2. Is a twofer. The relaunch of cardlax.com and the addition of @flstringer. The site gave me another outlet that I could use. But adding George to the site was one of the best parts of the year. I have always relied on George's opinion and sharing this with him has been a blast.

3. Having @redstarlax dye me a head. I have looked up to Tom for a long time. Having him dye me a head was a dream come true. Plus he absolutely crushed it.

4. Going to the Duke/UNC game. My Blue Devils came out on the wrong end of the scoreline, but it was a great game in a packed stadium on a beautiful NC day.

5. First time reaching 100 likes on a single photo with my single string @powelllacrosse pioneer. 100 likes isn't a huge number (especially on the day @eastcoastdyes reached 200k) but I never would have imagined it 36 weeks ago. I am so grateful that anyone even follows me and likes the stuff I post.

6. When @head_wrapz made this crazy amazing wrap for me. I had a great time working with them and they did an incredible job.

7. Doing the #gearup500. This was George's idea, but it was awesome to see everyone's submissions. They really made us think about how we choose to spend our money on gear. Probably the most fun I had doing something for CL.

8. The Carolina Panthers X-Mesh head. This was such a challenging but fun project. Thank god for @stylin_strings archives.

9. The one I will probably never forget for the rest of my life, playing lacrosse at Duke. Not sure I can even really explain how special that day was to me.

2015 was a great year. But we are just getting started. Lots of big things planned for 2016.
