My own personal highlights of 2008 are:
- Celebrating our engagement and making arrangements for our wedding in April 2009.
- The birth of our beautiful niece, Emily.
- The birth of my beautiful goddaughter, Florence.
- Being asked to be Florence's godfather.
- Being Best Man for my best friend's wedding in June.
- Being Groomsman for my brother at his wedding in August.
- Attending two stag dos, one at Stockholm and one in Prague.
- Surviving a really busy year in school. The summer and autumn terms were particularly stressful - but I've done it!
- Arranging the helicopter visit to school.
- Surviving the credit crunch (so far!) It's not been an easy year financially as Lisa was not working for six months and we have a wedding to save for!
- Discovering Twitter, Toodledo, Delicious and Zamzar - brilliant tools that I don't know how I survived without!
