This blog has been in the pipeline for a long time; it has always been something I have thought I should do but never thought I would actually make myself find time for. This year, however, has been the busiest, most amazing, far-reaching year of my life and I have decided that if I don't put at least some of it down in writing now, it will slowly fade until it becomes lost in the nostalgic mists of time.
In order for this blog to make some sense, allow me to set the scene...
I am Will, a 22 year old from Newport, South Wales. I have an amazing girlfriend, Rhiannon, whom I have known throughout school since we were a couple of seven year olds (pigtails and bowl cuts abound!). We spent two years away at university before realising what we were missing back home and finally became 'Will and Rhi' during our third year. We graduated from Warwick and Reading respectively and embarked on our travels at the beginning of this year. Now, ten months on from that evening on the 21st January when we stepped into the brightly lit world of Heathrow Terminal Three, we are decorating our new house in Newport, Rhi is 30 weeks pregnant, I am working hard at my first 'real' job in Bristol and we are pinching ourselves - have we really done all this!? I have never done so much and had so much still to be so excited about.
I expect I will jump around; memories from here and there vying to escape first, but eventually, I want to slowly build up a montage picture of our most amazing year - one that, hopefully, will be interesting enough to use when thinking of bedtime stories for bump.
I know that in a few years Rhi and I will look back at this year and smile.
So here it is... let the floodgates open!
