End of January- Paris
We headed to Disneyland Paris for our honeymoon. We weren't even sure if we were going to be able to go away as Chris' uni released his exam timetable so late. We were in France for three nights and rode the metro to the city centre for a day excursion. Whilst in Paris city we went for lunch at the lovely Laduree and due to the cold winter chill opted for once of the tour buses to guide us around all the touristy sites. Security was hyped up in the park due to recent terror attacks in Europe and whilst we were in the city, a man was found in the hotel next to where we were staying was found with a gun, we were very glad to not be in the Park that day.
May- Temple sealing
In May we decided to get 'sealed' in the temple which is were we make vows (similar to those at our wedding) to be with each other for 'all time and eternity', it was a beautiful ceremony and day. We invited our close family and fiends to a celebratory meal afterwards. Whilst Mum and Dad were down we also took the opportunity to Nymanns a local National Trust property.
In June Beckie started her first graduate job in London working for an Independent Financial Advisor firm. Sadly it relatively quickly became apparent that this was not a job she wanted to stay in long term and so worked until the summer was over, having decided to commence a masters in September. July Beckie graduated from her Law Degree at the Univeristy of Sussex with a First. It was a great experience and we are looking forward to when it is Chris' day.
In August we visited Centre Parcs for Beckie's 21st with Karen and Paul, it was lovely to relax by the pool, play badminton, go bowling, crazy golf and play board games. We all needed a well deserved rest for hectic life.
In September both of us started back at school. Chris having transferred from Brighton to Sussex and Beckie starting her masters at the London School of Economics meant some adjusting for us both to do. Life has gotten quite busy since then with studies, part time work, PhD and job applications.
We went to a wedding at Pinewood studios at the end of September for one of Chris' old school friends. It was a stunning location and had a fun film theme.
That brings us to now. We are planning on journaling our lives on this blog as a fun way to keep track of memories and so family and friends far away can stay up to date.
Love Chris and Beckie
