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.

Hi Nicole,
This is just a quick hello because I met you in New Malden at that Saturday conference with Jay. I randomly (or not so randomly) ran across your friend Natalie's blog, and that is how I found yours.
I have a blog at http://greatcomfort.blogspot.com if you're interested.
It was great meeting you and I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to the UK. Hopefully we'll get to see you when we visit Denver in August.
Cheers!
Lydia
