This will be our year

Goodbye 2014! Hello 2015!

2014 has been a pretty good year. Especially for my wife. She started her new job in January on a rotation post, she then secured a non rotation post in her favourite place and to top it off got a promotion a few months later and hopped up a band completely. This was such a relief as we were worried that leaving London and moving up north would hinder careers more, but that hasn't been the case. I would have moved up my banding more in London but I will catch up in a year or so and I enjoy my job more here so it is worth it.The NHS is just as political but the staff are far friendlier and that makes all the difference. I also finally got my driving licence which was something I had been putting off and dreading and it was my 2014 new years resolution and after failing 3 times it was 4th time lucky in November :)

My nephew also started school and we have really got to know him and he is such an awesome funny guy, before the move we only got to see him occasionally and didnt have a close relationship like we do now. We also reconnected with my old best friend and her husband. I have known her since primary school and we lost touch a bit when we both went away to university and they had a beautiful baby girl in March so it has been lovely getting to know old friends again, making new friends and seeing much more of my family again which was a main point to our move up


My wife also lost 2.5 stone and got her reproductive system the seal of approval to commence with IVF egg sharing. We start our first cycle in 27 days! Essentially her next period is when we get stabby stabby and hopefully finally become mummies. We did our last home insemination in March 2014 and applied for egg sharing in May so we are glad we are almost there. We started trying in January 2013 so it feels like 2 years of hoping and praying and we really hope that we get first time lucky with IVF!

We are also converting our Civil Partnership over to a marriage too in a couple of weeks on our second wedding anniversary :)
