2012 was a good year.

We Visit England!
Anna and I have finally returned from England! We went with Anna’s mom, Carol, and Ashton’s Grandpa Joe. It was a fantastic trip. We’ll try to recap:
Anna’s entire English family lives in southern England, so we were able to stay with her family while we were there. Ashton hadn’t met any of his new England relatives, and he got to meet almost 20 of them on this trip.
This post is going to be a picture blog with descriptions. Enjoy!
We left America at around 4:00 in the evening, and 10 hours later, we arrived in London at 10:00 am the next day. This was our first glimpse of England. It took a couple days for me to figure out why the landscape definitely looked like England: None of the roads (or tree-lines) go in a straight line for very long… England is devoid of any semblance of straight driving areas.
If you haven’t yet met Grandpa Joe, we’ll just introduce him with a: “He’s freaking amazing.” He turned 90 this year and he’s still spry, capable and funny.
For his birthday, since Anna and I were still in Florida, we all went to Myrtle Beach for the weekend. Here’s some pictures of his party and some family pictures we took:
Ashton met Anna 6 years ago
On New Years eve six years ago, I showed up to a good friend’s New Years Party. I knew everyone there except one cute girl on the couch. I took a while introducing myself, but I did. After the New Year of 2005 started I got her number from a friend and invited her to our weekly “Shindig”. And the rest is history.
Love you forever,
Ashton
