The Left Side of the Road...: 2012

Hey guys! February was rough as Andrew was sick for nearly two weeks and then so was I! We started to forget what it felt like to be healthy! That's the worst feeling. We're both doing better now thankfully.

Love and miss you all!

I played paintball for the first time in a forest in Royston, UK. It was pouring rain, cold, and extremely muddy, but extremely fun!!

At the Judge Business School with Andrew for a fundraising event- big smiles!! :)

Skyping with Pam and Dave and Ron! :)

Grandpa and Matthew!

Celebrating a belated engagement anniversary with my new shirt and scarf from Matty & Linds!!!

Enjoying the sunshine at St. John's College

Cambridge Art Market

Bridge of Sighs

Andrew had a fever of 102.2 on his birthday. I decorated the place, made brownies, and had everything set up for when he got home- but the minute he stepped in the door, he dove into bed (after I medicated him) and was barely able to mutter a word. Poor guy :(

Ben and Malina's son little Mark at his 6th birthday party. Malina made such cool decorations! I painted his mustache :)

Hi friends and fam! I am the worst at keeping up with this blog! :P We missed you all over the holidays, but we did manage to have some fun :) It has only snowed once here and by the time it hit the ground it melted. I surprisingly miss the snow, but it is nice to be able to bike in Dec/Jan :) I'll post some picture highlights trying to summarize the last few months. We anticipate that we'll be heading back to Minnesota this September :)

Christmas Day

Yay presents!! :)

Andrew and I spent Christmas morning together and then celebrated with friends in the afternoon. Craig and Brenda are on the far right- they are Madison and Matthew's parents.

Andrew & I attended, "A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols," on Christmas Eve at King's College Chapel. The seating in the chapel is first come, first serve. We got in line outside the chapel and camped out for eight hours waiting for the concert to begin. It was worth the wait, those kids sound like angels! Listen for yourself below:
