As people tend to do when a new year dawns, I can't help but look
back at the previous year and reflect on things. I have to admit that
2011 was definitely a big year for me, and rather fun at times. We've
accomplished a lot over the course of 2011. We spent time with old
friends and met new ones, celebrated time with our families, played some
truly awesome video games, visited some amazing location... but here
are some of the highlights of the year:
Watched Mariko give her Honor's Thesis (and understand most of it)
Saw my Grandfather after more than 15 years
Watched Mariko graduate Magna cum laude
Turned 30
Married my Best friend in front of our amazing friends and family
Moved to Germany
Met some amazing new friends in the Fulbright Program
Spent a week with my dad showing him around Germany (and killing his feet)
Spent Christmas in Sweden watching the Aurora Borealis
Definitely a lot has happened to both Mariko and I in
the past 12 months, some things more eventful than others; but
everything together, the little things and the big things, is what made
it an amazing year! I'll leave you with this slideshow of our 2011 year
condensed down for easy viewing pleasure:
(Edited: I redid the video and uploaded a new version, I had some complaints that people were not able to view it.)
I look forward to seeing the slideshow when I am in America!
