2012 Review

I realise we haven't been overly diligent about blogging, and since Jessica has re-found her ability to post it seemed like we should too. 2012 was a busy year with a graduation; a transatlantic visit; a disney visit; yet another 1st day at school; a cruise; and even a battle with a government department.

Whilst there have been some changes for us this year with a new dog and a new school, there is still a lot of continuity. Alyson is still working at the Parliament and seems to be enjoying her job more of late. We are lucky that her job has so many vacation days (relatively speaking) to allow us to undertake our various trips this year. I am still in school, but at least a new school! We both still have the same callings in church.

We have been very lucky to take a few trips this year. We really enjoyed returning to Eurodisney. We also really enjoyed our trip to the Eastern Mediterranean on our cruise. It was my first time cruising, and Alyson's first time on Royal Caribbean. We also had a couple of long weekend stay-cations here in Scotland. Alyson and I did a fair bit of travelling, but it wasn't only us jet-setting. We were delighted to welcome Joe, Eve, and Nate in June. We ran them rugged up and down Scotland from Edinburgh to Aberdeen to Inverness.

Christmas was great but marred by the fact that we have no passports. We were very much looking forward to going back to Kaysville. It's a much needed chance for Alyson to see everyone and a greatly appreciated break for me. There is still no sign of Alyson's visa, but we're hopeful that it will come soon at which point she'll be almost straight on a plane. At least that's the plan...!

Hopefully 2013 will be eventful and also have the opportunity for trips. Most of all on a selfish note I'm hoping to be in full-time employment as a lawyer, but that might need a lot of crossed fingers. Who knows what other surprises the year might hold.
