Passey Family United Kingdom Adventure

Will and I have recently returned from a trip to London, Edinburgh and York.  This was Will's first time out of the country.

Here's a list of our favorite moments from each day of the trip:

The Butterbeer at the Harry Potter studio tour was... interesting. 

An amazing office

I don't know why I look so happy to be put in my place.

The amazing 1:24 scale model of the castle.

2014

As per usual, I've let time get away from me between blog post and then it feels completely overwhelming like I have to catch you guys up on everything that The Passeys have done since September when I last posted.  But let's be real and remember for a moment that my blog readers are friends and family who already know the important details of what's happened in our lives between Sept and now.

 So, I'll start fresh with this brand new year that we've been given.  Does anyone else feel almost giddy with the possibility that awaits us each New Year? New goals, new opportunities, new new new! I've always loved fresh starts be it New Years or the start to a new semester or new school year.

We've been blessed with a lovely fresh snow fall today to remind me of the new blank slate we've been given.  Will and I spent the day inside with friends, playing games and snuggling with our favorite almost 2 year old! I love having friends who share their children with us! We ventured into the cold for a quick shovel of the driveway and sledding in the backyard and it was glorious!

Who know what 2014 holds for our family, but I know that I want more moments to treasure! More evenings with friends, more FaceTime with family, more caring for patients.  These moments fill my heart with joy.  Looking forward to sharing these moments with you!
