St. Andrews

These two pictures pretty much sum up St. Andrews.
Mitch played golf and I was his caddy.
This was our favorite part of the trip. We LOVED St. Andrews.

London



Mitch in front of Westminster Abbey, isn't his beard awesome!!

I have been meaning to document for months. We loved London! I could live there. There are so many places in London that bring such great memories to me. (I spent a summer there in college.) Mitch and I did most everything we wanted to do, we got to see Wicked! I loved it and so did Mitch.

I also took Mitch to see the Peter Pan Statue in Hyde Park (see below), my absolute favorite part of the park. We ate lots of Indian food, I honestly think that nothing beats the Bombay House. We went to museums, a lot of them. Mitch has an amazing memory and still remembers all the small, important details from his art history class in college. It was very nice to have him as a companion. We also went to see Lion King and we got lucky enough to sit in a box seat. Mitch's favorite part of London was the Churchill Museum, we spent all day in there. Overall, we loved London!

As of Late.

Life has been good to us. Lately we:
  • Moved into our apartment. Our stuff barely fits. We love it.
  • Celebrated Mitch's 28th birthday! More to come on that later.
  • Went to Memphis. Loved being there with Jeff and Kelly.
  • Went to the BYU/Ole Miss game. I tried my hardest to cheer for BYU and I just couldn't.
  • Abby came and visited.
That's about it. Someday, hopefully soon, I will get around to puttin up some pictures.

And we are obsessed with Friday Night Lights. When I grow up I want to be Tami Taylor.

Happy Wednesday.

back.

Well, it's been about 18 months since I have had an office job and let me tell you...I am so happy to be back, seriously. The lobbying firm I work for is awesome and my one co-worker is fabulous. The one down side is that yes, I did eat my entire lunch before 11:10 am.

On another note, remember how there was an earthquake yesterday in DC? I totally panicked, forgot everything I learned about earthquake safety in fourth grade. I circled around the room like a crazy person. My co-worker and I were both in a state of total panic and it only lasted 15 seconds.

Also, did I mention that we are moving on Saturday?

Happy Wednesday.

Loves,

Diet Ginger Ale.

I have A LOT of free time on my hands these days. (Most unfortunately I think I am much more productive when I have almost no free time.) Today I looked at two apartments, got completely lost. Probably more lost than ever before, it was the bus map's fault. Not mine, seriously. I also went to the Zoo by myself and marveled at the pandas. I just sat there, staring at them in pure amazement. I also found Diet Ginger Ale in the bottle, from 7-11 next to the Zoo. This may not seem important to most of you, but seriously I was so happy. I have been looking for weeks and weeks.

Now, the real reason of this post...

"making every moment count" means letting the moments be what they'll be, not forcing them into my idea of what they should be."

I read this line from my friend's blog today and couldn't help but share it with the rest of you.

Happy weekend. And may it be wonderful.

Sure hope so.
Can't wait for the Iowa straw poll on Saturday.

Happy Elections.

A Balloon Ride.

We went on a balloon birthday ride a few weeks ago.
It was fabulous.
Thank you to Mitch for a great birthday.
