I LOVE making top five lists. You might be able to tell considering the main URL of this web site. Jake and I created a design company under the name topFIVEdesign because both of us love to make top 5 lists. I don’t know what it is, but I really enjoy it. Alli and I even made an entire book with our friends, Rich and Sarah, that contained a list of our favorite EVERYTHING.

Anyway, this is my list of top five stuff for the last year. Let me know what you think.
