Our Year In Review
If you’re not familiar, the music app Spotify makes waves every year when it presents its annual “Spotify Wrapped” feature to all of it users.
This feature allows people to see their most listened-to songs, artists, and other cool stats to help them get a bigger picture of how their year in music went.
We wanted to do something similar - but instead of music, it’s about our own lives and journeys.
Presenting “2023 Wrapped” for Lexitas employees!
FAVORITE 2023 MOMENT
Reflecting on the past year, what was your Favorite Memory of 2023? (Trip, event, achievement, etc.)
Meeting my half-sister for the first time.

My trip to Fort Bragg, CA, for my birthday weekend. And I have to add that I lost 66 lbs!
Kristine Dlugolecki, DES Civil Team, Rocklin CA
When we were surprised by the acquisition in early January I was terrified...fast forward to December and being a part of Lexitas is a breath of fresh air! So many opportunities for us as employees is a move in a positive direction!

My favorite memory of 2023 has to be going to Italy for 2 weeks with my Mom, my Uncle, and my Aunt. We flew from San Francisco into England, stayed in England for 2 days, then flew into Catania Sicily and picked up a rental car. While in Sicily we explored Catania, Syracuse, Palermo, and saw the most amazing mosaics in the "Villa Romana del Casale" which was located pretty much dead-center Sicily, in Piazza Armerina. We spent 2 days in Sicily, then flew to Rome and stayed there for 2 days. There is so much to see in Rome it's unbelievable. You honestly don't need a plan while in Rome, just walk down the street and within minutes you'll come across something that's got so much history. Lastly, we drove from Rome to Todi and stayed in Todi for a week. While we were staying in Todi we ventured out and explored Siena and Florence each for a day. This was a trip of a lifetime, and I will always have these memories/pictures to look back on. I'm so grateful I was able to go on this trip. :)

Our family vacation to England was my favorite memory of 2023. It was a bucket list trip, to say the very least!
Heather Lane, Florida
My travel group trip to Negril, Jamaica in August. I jumped off a 35-foot flatform into the Blue Hole natural spring. I have a small fear of heights. Went snorkeling and learned how to use Jamaican currency accurately. Got to take a private tour with our driver and learned a lot about their culture. Everyone was very kind. It was very relaxing.

FAVORITE ENTERTAINMENT
Reflecting on the past year, what was your favorite piece of entertainment? (Song, Book, Movie, Video Game, etc.)
This past year my favorite place of entertainment is my home. Listening to The Grateful Dead and other old rock, EDM, 80's, and love the Yacht Rock! Dancing in my house while I do chores. Singing at the top of my lungs and mini dance parties when I have friends over.

I discovered Bishop Briggs' music and I love all of it!

Currently obsessed with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce! That, my friends, is entertainment! I also listened to the audiobook "The Giver." Thought-provoking and highly recommended.

My favorite piece of entertainment from this past year is definitely Andy Colvin. Andy always knows how to brighten up anyone's day and always says the most random jokes; it's so awesome!

Attending a concert and a Premier League game in England were my favorite entertainment events of the year. If I had to choose a favorite show for 2023, I'd say, "Lessons in Chemistry."
Heather Lane, Florida
I won tickets to meet Lynard Skynyrd, a Southern Rock band from my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, in the Farah & Farah studio. I got to speak with them and take a picture. The radio station called me a few days later and gave me two concert tickets. It was amazing!

Preparing for the new year, do you have a mission or any plans for 2024? (Goal, trips, life events, etc.)
