What I've been up to...a visual representation.

We went to England. (Wrote a bunch about this in the last post, so I won't go too into detail). Suffice it to say, I'd like to still be in that week right now.

This is Josh, Carrie, Nathan and I in England. Part of our team of wildness and fun. It was obvious whenever the American's entered the room...or the Tube...or the train. Americans are rowdy and we are no exception.

Got to see my dear dear Marcus. Found out that I think we are stealing him again for the summer. I'm not sure that there is much more in the world that can make me happier. I am counting down the days.

Went to Skyler's cabin this week with a little crew. The ride up there was life threatening....once we finally got to Red Feather, Tim's car got stuck in a huge snow bank and we had to walk a really sad walk with all our crap into the cabin. For some reason it reminded me of the movie Babel...walking walking walking. Falling. Of course, we all know I have a flair for the dramatic at times. Anyway, these are our "happy" faces.

In the end, we really did have a great time. Nothing like a group of wonderful friends in a snow covered cabin to bring a little much needed joy to a gal.


That's it for now!

Jet laaagggggggg......

It's probably not the safest time to write. As I experienced several times on this trip, being really really tired causes you to not have a great sense of boundaries of what you should and shouldn't say :).

Quick update, since I have become one of those terribly boring bloggers that never actually blogs.

1. Went to the UK for two weeks. It was great. Did all of the fun touristy things like going to my first ever real show --The Lion King, riding the London Eye, going to the Tate Modern, walking a million miles a day, and constantly grimacing as I spent over twice as much for every meal compared to what I would in America.

2. Also went to a few conferences while I was there -- needless to say, they rocked my socks off (now there is a phrase that would only come out in this amount of sleepyness). I can give you more details about those in person.

3. I have realized through this trip a few things that I love about the States -- the fact that my shower is as large as many of the cars in England, that I have easy access to basic things like flat sheets for bed and heat all hours of the day, the streets in my neighborhood that are twice as wide as any street in England....my crew at the church. There really is no one like them in the world.

4. There are also a few things that I would like to bring back from England -- cheap and tasty Indian food, Chinatown (that's right, the whole thing), fat British babies with rosie cheeks, small children that are just learning to talk but repeat "Hello love!" over and over again. Ellie and Marcus Mumford....a good use of vocabularly in everyday conversation. The phrase: "Get in!"

5. Jet lag causes really weird dreams. Just an hour ago I was dreaming that I could talk to a cat named Sophie who was evil and trying to get my very expensive fish. I also was trying to call Nottingham from London but couldn't find my cell phone (this is an obvious connection to most of my thoughts right now -- I have yet AGAIN lost my cell phone.)

6. I am tired and can't write any more.
