Talking to Pammy again
I was trying to pick out a favourite memory from this year but its waaaaay to hard to do!! In addition to the specific events above there have been some really funny nights out and general laughter and good memories just of everyday events. I have had such a fun year, with the saddest thing being graduating (I really miss being a student, studying and seeing the coolest people every day)- what does that tell you, eh?!! I am so grateful for all of it!!
2009 resolutions: Get at least 15 things from my list finished (http://www.before30.co.uk/)

Things to look forward to:
More travelling hopefully
Patrick's first birthday
Starting at Accenture

I Hope 2009 is as awesome as 2008 :D

Best wishes for your health and happiness this coming year, thanks for standing by me :D

Wow, what a year 2008 was for you - my profound apologies that I hadn't realised so much was going on!

Congrats on Patrick, he is gorgeous. As you'll have seen from my blog I'm looking forward to having a son, so feel free to pass on any tips you have! Good luck with the new job too - just remember that you should work to live, not live to work! (Although I'm sure you have more than enough going on to remind you of that!)

Lol - you may wish to delete my previous comment. Having now bothered to read through the rest of your blog, I am ashamed to realise that in fact Patrick is not your child, but your nephew.

And to think I want to be involved in politics - the shame! Still, congrats on him anyways, he is gorgeous.

Your epic trip round Europe looked cool - did you like Berlin. Being a Berliner myself, I still feel that it is the coolest city on the planet.

Anyways, will aim to be a bit more accurate in my reading in future!

Lol, easy mistake to make- I talk about him alot. I get the fun of having a kid without the tiredness or expense. He is amazing- you have so much to look forward too!! I'm sure my sister has plenty of tips but mine would be have a well charged camera at the ready as there will be many picture moments that you will want to have (even if noone else wants to see 40 pictures of the same thing, you will be glad to have them.). (Not really a parenting tip as such but just good sense- Natalie makes it seem easy but I know it isn't). Its so exciting for you and Cat- I think you are going to be great parents..

Berlin was one of my favourite cities on the trip. So much history but a really modern city too- its a cool place to be :D
