It just had to be done.

You'll notice I took little big blogging break during the month of December.
It was a good month, in spite of a canceled trip and the flu.
We enjoyed London during the holidays and spent Christmas in Norway.
We got to experience plenty of snow. We then rang in the New Year with the dearest friends.

It was a good month. But, as usual I'm ready to take down the tree and get back into a routine.

What better way to jump back into blogging for the new year
than with a recap of the previous year via a fast moving Flipagram.
Don't blink or you might miss something!


We ended the year mumbling that we didn't travel nearly as much as we wanted in 2014.
But, that's just silly really. 

2014 Travel
Dunkirk & Gravelines, France
Bruges & Ghent, Belgium
Bergen and Oslo, Norway


I did get 2 new countries on my 50 by 50 list which leaves
21 months to get 14 more if I'm to meet that goal.  We'll see.

The year included another move within London to Sloane Square and two new jobs.

Of course, the highlight of the year was a trip home to Texas to see my daughter
Jessica married.  If you follow me on Instagram, then you're already in on what will be the absolute highlight of 2015.

"First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes..."

Lots more to come on that note in the upcoming months you can be sure.

I still have several Venice posts and I have to finish up the road trip with my dad and brother.
I'm also eager to show you beautiful Norway.

In an effort to stave off the winter blues, we also already have a few trips
on the calendar for the next few months.

Thanks so much for sticking around even when I don't connect with you nearly as much as I want to!

Happy New Year!!
It's gonna be a great one.

What are you most looking forward to in 2015?
